Change is something I often go into without fully considering the consequences or outcomes. The last 6 months have truly made me realise that, as it feels like I’ve made so many (probably only a few) life changing decisions.
Sometimes my attitude does pay off though. It keeps me on my toes and makes sure I’m never too comfortable – it’s the best way to challenge myself, busy myself, and potentially find who the heck I am in this bustling world. A split second decision saves me from potentially talking myself out of a positive change, hindered by over-thinking and justifying and fear.
Registering for the Tanzania trip was done in an instant. It was something I had always wanted and hoped to do but I sprung on the opportunity without even stopping. Thoughts about cost and training and equipment, even annual leave, would come later. And I’m glad I did it. Hours of current stress will pay off.
So, the decision making process that works for an over-thinking doubt machine such as I – just do it. I feel very Leandra Medine / Monocycle when I think of these more existential life reflections – so, job done for the day.
I had imagined the end of April as full of inspiring blog posts, but it came too fast, beat me and my to do list.

It’s all about the denim – and why wouldn’t it be.
