Sharing experience with a group of like minded people, towards a worthy cause is the best thing I could do with my life. Emphasis on the like-minded, for me this means green-thinking sustainability type folks in their 20's. I also need musical folks to create things with  as an expression tool. Both are important, incidentally they are both possible through uni.
I have thought a lot about plunging into the unknown and trying out an idea, a solution for an otherwise environmentally-fucked society. To match up with my skills this would take the form of a bulk refill, zero-waste shop, promoting eco-products and fighting food waste from supermarkets. 

If we put that out there as something I want to do in this lifetime, also have to put in perspective with the other things I want to do, travel south america, london, work in these countries, connect with my roots, play music more... 
Live out on the west coast, live a simpler lifestyle.
This is the best pathway I have for my current needs, I can re-evaluate at the end of the year if need be, and not continue physio. This or risk a rash decision without fully knowing the true potential of my impact in a therapeutic role, helping others in many countries

Love vs Fear? The Art of Self-Awareness

A familiar feeling of trepidation swept over me.  I stepped over the threshold into the cold clinical setting of a Yr two practical examination room.  "have i missed my exam slot?" , "did they forget to call me in?" panicking, I fought to retain composure as my clinical supervisor approached me. "Alex, there you are! please come through, the exam is about to start" . As stood and waited to see which examiner and clinical scenario I would get, p ast memories flashed through my mind of my first exam sit.  "What If I fail again?" The same words echoed in my mind hauntingly, inviting the inevitable.  I was directed towards the furthest booth, with my examiner Richard, head of the musculoskeletal department, who curtly nodded as I nervously greeted him. An exam moderator sat a short distance furiously scribbling on a clipboard. I read the brief and the exam timer rang to signal the start.  He began "You have a 45 yr old builder with rig...

Don't mind the mind

Tuesday 30th May: Emotions: Calm, relaxed, focused Been thinking about overthinking lately. The more I learn I realise its better to not try and control negative thoughts, a good technique is to just observe and be aware. A higher kind of awareness doesn't follow negative thoughts down dark passages, but just legs them crash harmlessly like waves against rock. Today I have been letting go of the sense of urgency lingering in my mind the last few days, that I need to try harder and push more toward finding more work opportunity, keep moving forward. Friday 3rd June: Right here, right now. This is all I will ever be, the best I can be. Recovery running. Awesome feeling, great friday night activity. Need to keep more variation in my training schedule to let body recover and adapt properly. If I'm too tired to do hill sprints, strength session, go for a recovery run! Making concious decisions to do whats best for me, even though I don't want to sometimes. Sitting on inte...

New week new ideas

Tough week... Getting crap Xmas shifts at work, uncertainty about enough work over summer, lingering doubt about work choices, and above all an uncontrollable urge to do something for the planet but confused and unsure what I can do. It came to me that composting is the most logical option, learning as much as possible about how to do it right and make a business out of it, by selling sweet wooden bins made out of recycled pallets. It will take a bit to get off the ground (See Givealittle) It took a fair bit of mental energy to make a decision, but felt great to and gave me a clear direction, when before I was feeling a little out of sorts. The ideas that flow on from a project like this are limitless, who can say how far reaching this will become? For now its not about money just making a positive difference, to neighbors and Kingsland residents. New ride... Picked up a great secondhand bike from T-whites, absolutely love it. Incredibly fast, lightweight and agile it suits my...
