Lifestyle

Sometimes, we all need to pause and catch our breath. Life can get messy, especially with young kids and winter bugs, the pressures of work and the strain of finances. And it’s easy to forget, through all this glorious chaos, just what you’ve achieved. Or how much you’ve grown. Or what you’ve learned along the way. So, this post is about reflection. A chance to jot down some of the obstacles we’ve faced, and the solutions we came up with, in the hopes it might help someone else to navigate these wild waters with a little more control.

Perfection is a strange concept.

For some men, the pursuit of perfection has bound them in a perpetual illusionary quest to earn more, or look better, or be stronger. But like the ideal woman, the ideal man does not exist.

And yet, history tells us he has. He does. The funny thing is, this ideal man – this concept of perfection – is constantly evolving. Which makes perfection imperfect. And the pursuit of it plain silly.

We’ve all heard how important it is to get a good night’s sleep. It can boost your immune system, help you focus, improve your physical performance, keep your heart healthy, your body humming and your mind in a positive mental state.

But for some of us, sleep is hard to come by. Whether it’s the pressures of work, a cluttered mind, struggles with anxiety, stress, medications or illness, far too many people struggle with falling and staying asleep.
