It's funny this whole life thing, YOU know!

My fear of swimming (yup, I fear swimming) had taken a back seat whilst Dexter chose to go swimming and wanted me to go with them to watch.

Anyway, I have been psyching myself up to go along for the past two weeks now and this morning I was ready to look at a swimming pool for the first time in nearly 12 years. We made it on the bus and about 7 stops into the journey and Loki decided that those stops were enough and proceeded to be sick.

Yeah he was sick all over his lap, seat and floor and to those traveling on the bus with us I can only apologise for the inadequate handling of the situation.

States of shock are funny when s**t happens 😂 he is very sorry and feels horrible about it and said 'I smell disgusting and I was sick in front of people' I'm genuinely sorry that we left the bus in a horrible state but we didn't travel with cleaning supplies and our wet wipes did what they could until they ran out.

So here's a huge sorry to stagecoach and the driver for the inconvenience we caused.

I felt guilty as hell stepping off the bus but honestly this little guy is a trooper and I don't actually feel that guilty anymore 😂 sorry? Yes, but guilty? No.

These things happen even if they are mortifying.

Swimming will have to wait and more building up will be required but hey it's a step forward.

Still can't get over the fact that the god himself Bernie Marsden has gone.

Sometimes a close-up of some hands and a fretboard is all YOU need to decipher who the musician shredding is!

Isn't life cruel, Steelhouse Live will not be the same!

When children shout YOU to run upstairs 'quick because the toilet is smoking' yeah we've all heard this one but my goodness it will always get me when they so it because of the sheer amount of hilarity that they see in it 😂

Shoutout to We Fix Phones a couple of weeks back I took my somewhat dodgy PS4 in for a new HDMI port due to it being incredibly unreliable.

Without even having hands on, they had ordered the port replacement and after taking it in, the work was complete within 2 days 🙏

I had a replacement fan ready for install also because the other one was knackered and they installed that for me whilst it was already open and honestly it has been the quietest little machine ever since thanks to a new splattering of thermal paste.

Honestly I felt incredibly taken care of and recommend them highly.

Service with a smile and a slobbery welcome from the owner (cough cough.... I mean the real owner 😂)

How AWESOME is this double rainbow and how incredible that it has completely changed the exposure and contrast in the sky in this way! It looks like it deliberately framed this tree on the corner of the street!

THREE Questions it YOU wouldn't mind dropping answers in the comments for me 💙 I appreciate YOUR time.

Firstly,
Do YOU game and If so, what is YOUR pick and how long do YOU sit for a session?

Secondly,
Do YOU suffer from a Mental Health Condition or poor Mental Wellbeing in general?

Lastly,
This one is for those of YOU with an Addictive Personality or know someone with one (feel free to comment as if YOU are talking about someone else if YOU wish) no pressure here. How do YOU control the overplay?

Took me 48 Infills to complete my 1st Solo Ashika Hunt and two days ago I completed my 3rd Solo Deployment Massacre to Ashika Island with one team escaping my clutches.

And here I am sitting on the wing trying to avoid the Scavenger because that one plate and lack of Ammunition Box ain't gonna hold up to his s**t 😂

Safe to say my PVP and general abilities within the game are improving but my goodness I'm far from being a 'Decent' player.

In a few days I am going to start streaming some sessions of DMZ and Faction Missions on a new Instagram but will share here once I know more. I'm thinking will likely be the best place for this to happen. That being said I am contemplating multi-streaming simply because it will help alert an audience to the actual live happening.

Stay Safe YOU Beautiful Humans! Remember YOU are Impordant and it's Important that YOU Remember that!

Love and Light my friends.

Uni Meetings Booked for the next weeks and scheduled Study/Work/Podcast and Gym Time is all set up and it's time to smash the button of progression!

I have begun attempting to fool my children into eating foods they claim the 'don't' like even just by looking at a plate that's handed to them.

I'm 2 for 2 so far with these Curried Pork and Carrot Samosas being 1 and Croquettes being the 2nd.

Here's to the next chapter of Fooing Children Into Eating Foods They 'Don't' Like! 😂

I attended the Gym yesterday for the first time in almost 10 years with a fellow dad from the school and it wasn't as hellish as my mind had built it up to be. Of course, I knew but try telling a broken mind that and being believed 😂

Monday will be my second visit and if I can swing the next two weeks of hitting it hard then I believe it will be a fixture in my somewhat scatty routine.

Anyway, I feel a bit less negative about my s**t body image and feel confident that the changes I've made over the past couple of years have started building on top of one another and that is a positive view even if some days aren't as positive as I would like.

One thing I can say for sure is that my moments of 'depression' are lesser than that of a year ago 🙂 now that's progress unnoticed.

No matter what YOU are currently going through, don't allow YOUR mind to create a falsely negative environment for YOU to live internally.

YOU have a purpose in this world and just like myself and many before YOU or I, it's finding that purpose that allows us to shine through the cracks in the darkness.

And so AC/DC once said 'Stand Up and Be Counted' for YOU are important.

Have a wonderful weekend and if YOU'RE not in for a positive one or are struggling, remember to reach out today!

Love and Light

This little guy lost yet another tooth. He believes continuing to lose them, they may not grow back 🤣

These bad boys showed up a couple of days ago and my goodness what a treat to listen to. Vinyl is the way forward 💙

has to be one of the best albums of 2023 and I can't stop myself from playing Horses Breath!

Such a brilliant track.

This beautiful little guy was greeting me on the bathroom window loving life 🙂

Genuinely the happiest I've been in some time.

17/06/2023

I played the guitar the other day for the first time in what feels like years and I didn't expect to learn anything because I often see myself as a passive learner but I actually learned a track and enjoyed the process.



Hobbies have been dead to me for some time but I've started picking things back up again slowly and for the first time in a long while, I feel like I am grasping at some 'normality'

Don't let hobbies die forever.

Please Read and Drop a Comment and Share.

A few months ago I started writing a children's Book which would be transferred to an E-Book on Amazon.

This book was a very random ADHD-driven idea and today I have completed another which will become part of a series of books. I have not yet figured out how to actually structure a book properly but my kids enjoyed the first read by my partner Bethan.

I really would like to hear YOUR thoughts on building a library on Amazon where the books could be bought as E-books and Audiobooks.

The series of books surround multiple areas of Mental Health and Well-being and aim to educate children under the age of 10 with easy-to-follow and engaging narratives that leave plenty of room for parents to ask their children what they think is happening with the character and if they have experienced similar things.

I understand that some of YOU may feel like this is something that isn't really needed or they may not even interest YOU at all but I thought I would put it out in the open and get some thoughts on sharing them.

Leave a comment below and I will definitely get a reply to YOU as swiftly as possible.

Have an amazing weekend ahead.

Peace, Love and Light

I've decided to stream for the first time in my life 🤣

Goodness knows why!

Maybe it'll help me not be so s**t at gaming 🙈

Gaming For ADHD

Ultimately, it doesn't matter how I 'Feel' or how I choose to spend my time, as long as I am spending the time wisely and knowingly and not allowing the time to slip away and for tasks to complete me rather than me actually completing a task.

Once I start to DoomScroll on Social Media then, I know instantly it is time to shut off, start again and bring myself back to what is needed. I have begun giving time to do things that aren't really productive such as playing the PS4, Scrolling on Social Media or Watching TV. I noticed that if I allow for time to do this, then I am less likely to simply just find myself doing them and being a slave to them in a way that is toxic to my Mental Health and my Attention Span.

Creating moments of intention is better than succumbing to the mindless destruction of gods.

When these two dance, it's like a nineties rave up in our house 😂

Can't get more techno than Aulden's dance moves and the both throw shade at us all the time. It's no wonder that Aulden wants to go to dance and singing classes 😁

It all started with Newton Faulkner and Walk off the Earth (Official Fan Group) when they were younger and the progression is obvious right!?

Martin Garrix YOU did this 😂

Okay, YOU Beautiful Lot 💙, I have a request for those who sleep with an eye mask.

I have tried to use an eye mask a few times and found one that was relatively cold to touch and wear, but after a short period of time, it becomes warm and stuffy. I am looking at those eye cups people wear when going on tanning beds to protect from UV Light, and I wonder how comfortable they are to wear over a long period, such as a full night's sleep.

I have included a photo for reference of one I have tried, and of those, I would like to know more about before purchasing, not because of cost but simply because of wasted time and product that will sit unused.

Have YOU tried the ones for sunbeds? Or would YOU recommend anything else YOU have tried and had success with? I am looking for cooling, if not COLD, and something that doesn't make me feel like I have a blanket pulled over my eyes and face. That feeling of cotton on my face is horrible and hot.

Could use YOUR help :)

Thank YOU in advance. 😁💙

Have an amazing day ahead.

Love and Light

Neil

The Power of Capitalizing 'YOU': Emphasizing the Importance of Self-Worth

Aside from my posts on Social Media and anywhere I message family and friends, a few times now these past couple of weeks I have been asked about the reasoning behind the capitalization of the word 'YOU' in my emails and now my posts on Uni Forums, so I thought I would share a little here too 🙂

As human beings, we all experience moments of doubt, moments where we feel lost, unsure of ourselves, and question our place in the world. During difficult times, it's crucial to remind ourselves that we are important and that we matter.

One unique way to reinforce this idea is by capitalizing the word 'YOU' in all forms of written communication. For the past three years, I have been doing just that – capitalizing 'YOU' in texts, messages, posts, and emails – to instill a sense of self-worth and significance in every reader.

Why is this simple yet powerful act of capitalization so important? It's because, in life, it is all too easy to forget how valuable we truly are. By capitalizing 'YOU', I aim to create a subconscious reminder that YOU are important and that YOU matter.

The repetition of seeing 'YOU' capitalized time and time again works to build a positive association in the minds of readers. It fosters a sense of self-importance that can help combat feelings of inadequacy, emotional struggles or self-doubt.

The goal is for this capitalization to become ingrained in the reader's mind, so that whenever they see or hear the word 'YOU', it is automatically capitalized subconsciously, instilling the question 'why on earth does he capitalize YOU in every conversation? It's a bit strange' knowing that they may ask about it one day and that my answer will provide clarity and reasoning.

This practice is not only about recognizing the importance of self-worth but also about acknowledging the uniqueness and value of each individual. It is a reminder that, regardless of the circumstances, YOU can overcome adversity, depression and breakdowns and struggles that life throws at YOU to make a positive impact on the world.

By capitalizing 'YOU', I hope to convey a message of hope, resilience, and self-belief. Through this seemingly small act, I hope to empower readers to face life's challenges head-on, secure in the knowledge that they are important and deserving of love, respect, and understanding.

So, the next time you come across a capitalized 'YOU', let it serve as a reminder that YOU are important, and that no matter what obstacles life throws at you, never forget the incredible power and potential that lies within YOU.

This post was lengthy so thank YOU for takin the time to read on. Maybe YOU would like to give it a go! Even just once, and YOU will inevitably be asked about it for sure if YOU mention it more than once.

YOU are mportant and it is important that YOU remember that!

I bought this orchid in June of last year from Wilko and last week I notices the buds on the new growth 😁

Exciting for sure 🙂 I haven't begun growing yet this year but it is on the cards, just need to get round to sorting the compost and soil out and then dig around the back garden.
