This blog started as mental notes I was making for myself; notes about how I can improve on my physical, social and mental wellbeing, my experience with mental health, and what I have learned that works for me. Plus I made some notes and quotes from podcasts I was listening to. I was told by someone that the notes I was making would be useful to other people and could be used as a source of guidance or advice. I don't know about that, but the thought of helping someone through talking about my experiences makes me very motivated so here I am, writing my own blog (It was also spurred on by the Movember movement and my absolutely pathetic attempt at a moustache). It will mainly be about happiness, self-improvement, mental health issues, news and social media however sometimes I tend to drift off on tangents but I will try to keep things to the point and hopefully the tangents have some relevance in bringing this whole blog together nicely.

​

If I could say one thing, if you read this little "about" section from this website and nothing else from it, then it would be this: whatever you may be going through, no matter how much you are struggling right now, it will get better. Always. Help is always here and if you ever want someone else besides family, friends or doctors to reach out to, drop me an email and I'll be happy to try and help in any way I can. I'm not an expert, I'm not a qualified counsellor, but I'm happy to listen and offer my opinion based on the experience I've had.

Be kind to the world and the people with whom you share it, and be kind to yourself.

Just as a side note to this blog, there may be some content that is not entirely from the mind of beef. A lot of my writing has been inspired by 2 podcasts in particular: Tim JP's the Anxiety podcast, and the Blindboy podcast so if you recognise any of the profound gibberish I talk about, there's a fair chance it's something from either of those 2.  I have made some notes while listening to some of their words so I give credit to both of them and their podcasts.
