A few things have been on my mind lately. I&#8217;m trying to rebuild my business since I lost the plot in 2012 and until the last few months it&#8217;s felt futile. \u00a0I can now see an end to the harder times and see a way forwards but I&#8217;m being cautious. I&#8217;ve seen things that I want to buy, thought about things I want to do and have been able to stop myself so far. It feels strange and good in some ways because I&#8217;ve seriously lacked that self control for several years. \u00a0Even last year I&#8217;d of spent out on the things even with not having the money.

Time to analyse things too. \u00a0I&#8217;m trying to break lots of cycles and if I can keep on track then I&#8217;ve hopefully broken cycles that may well be a couple of decades old at least. It&#8217;s hard and it&#8217;s tricky to keep my self belief right now but I&#8217;m trying to keep the focus and to ride out blips and things that don&#8217;t go to plan as such. \u00a0It&#8217;s a very strange thing to be levelish.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I haven&#8217;t worked as I&#8217;ve been unwell with an upset stomach.
