Train Your Mind to Love the Gym
Working out for me has always been a necessary evil. It takes a lot of effort for me to want to go. Don’t get me wrong, I love the feeling of being a strong female, and once I do get there and start working out the feeling of dislike disappears. I like gaining muscle, I like being lean, and for a long time (6 years) I was even training as a kickboxing fighter. Trust me, I love that stuff. But it’s just hard to keep me in the mindset that I have to be there. I need to take care of myself better so that I can be the badass that I’ve always been.

Mid-Life Question
I have a seemingly easy question, unfortunately it has a hundred different answers depending on who you ask. Define old age, middle age, and being young? There are many factors to incorporate, many parameters to include and a pile of personal input which is why there will be so many answers. I ask as a forty-seven-year-old who’s not sure which, if any, bracket I fit in. Here are some of the things I think need consideration in working out the answer.

Negotiating the Cancer Maze
It's never going to be something that you expect. Old, young, middle age, a tiny child, mother, father, sister, brother, aunty, uncle, grandpa, grandma, neice, nephew, friend... we are all in it together because it's an unfair happenstance of life. The moment you hear the news differs for everybody. We are all unique and how we react to the news can have an insight into how we respond to the treatment psychologically. I personally had the mindset of "Right, just tell me everything I need to do from now to get past this," while trying to choke back a sob at the unexpected nature of being told it's worse than we thought. Over the past nine months of dealing with two lymphomas — Non-Hodgkin's and Hodgkin's — at 23 I have mentally collected tidbits of information, knowledge and advice because that's how I naturally handle challenges, so I would like to share these with others who find themselves in this situation and swimming in what often feels like a bottomless pool.

Lessons of a Millennial's Awakening
There are many things one can learn throughout their lifetime. Yet, in my personal experience, nothing quite prepares you for life like the lessons you learn from awakening. I myself awakened as a child. I have learned lessons that have saved me a lot of drama in my life. I have seen my friends and family go through things that I am glad that I do not have to go through. Now, I still had to go through the daily life stuff everyone has to go through, such as work and school. I found that I understood how to navigate certain situations in life a bit better, however.

The Art of Giving Up
That long, winding, uphill climb we all feel as just part of our life’s journey — to become a better person. You want to somehow cast out the darker aspects of your very nature, to rid yourself of all the nasty human things that you find unbearable. Why are so many of us climbing and struggling, stumbling and falling only to pick ourselves back up and continue our futile quest to venture outwards, further and further away from the treasure we hope to find? Even the most serene, joyous, and stable people have that little voice in the back of their minds saying that something isn’t quite right – "there’s something wrong with you." So you must put yourself through the most arduous trials of self-improvement to become this future idealised self before you can be happy. You hurt, and you don’t want to hurt. So you’ll do everything in your power to avoid the pains and therefore the pleasures of life. And as soon as you do that, you’ve abandoned yourself. You’ve abandoned the self that you set out looking for in the first place, forever moving away from who you really are because you think the person you were taught to be, the person people and society tell you to be actually exists.
