TMI Tuesday

On Purpose, Not By Accident

My sole purpose when I opened my emails this morning was to find the notification email for this week’s TMI Tuesday. Well, the questions were headed up with this: “You are here with the intention of doing TMI Tuesday—act now. Get ‘er done!” So, I’m doing what I’m told and getting ‘er done. I keep running out of time to answer them but couldn’t resist these questions. I’d love to hear your answers too. Perhaps you could join in with your answers in the comments?


1. What are you focusing on in your life right now?

  • a. finding greater purpose
  • b. feeling less alone
  • c. feeling more motivated
  • d. improving anxiety
  • e. working on relationships

I think it’s probably E. I have an abundance of amazing people in my circles. However, as a woman who has only been growing friendships for the least eight years, following twelve years of abuse, it can occasionally be tricky to navigate. I am an introvert, someone who needs time to myself. Figuring out how to manage my boundaries in intimate relationships was easy by comparison to upholding boundaries in my friendships. But those are safer spaces to practise in, I think… (See Q5)

2. Select one thing that you value most right now:

  • a. being a good partner or friend
  • b. becoming your best self
  • c. feeling happier, more fulfilled
  • d. performing well at work

I have to say, it’s always B. By becoming my best self then all the rest of the options slot into place. Or that’s how it seems to be working for me.

3. Which type of well-being tool is of most interest to you? (pick one) Why?

  • a. guided meditation
  • b. life coaching workshops
  • c. personal therapy
  • d. social content

I’m a big fan of personal therapy. With the right counsellor it can be utterly life-changing. Learning how to untangle the spaghetti in my brain and make sense of things. However, life coaching is of most interest to me right now. To give rather than receive. One thing I particularly enjoy is supporting people; in achieving their goals, finding their purpose, signposting and teaching new skills. I’m not therapist material, but I am good at the no-nonsense action planning. I may have a plan forming, but I still have work to do on Q2, B before I’m in a place to set about completing this life goal.

4. On a scale from 1 to 5, How much are you enjoying your life?

  • 1 = not at all
  • 5 = fully

I think 4 at the moment. I’ve been feeling a little like Mary Poppins recently. You know, with finding the fun and making all of the jobs a game. But there is always room for improvement. (Just in case you’ve no idea what I’m talking about, here is Mary Poppins with her infinite wisdom.)

5. What have you been struggling with lately?

  • a. feeling needed
  • b. making friends
  • c. improving mental health
  • d. building career
  • e. feeling supported

I’ve been struggling with feeling needed. Not that I want to feel more needed, quite the opposite. Being made to feel needed by people who have been told I have a lot on and that I need some space. As I’m not needy I find this trait in others pretty challenging, but I’m learning!

Bonus: On a scale from 1 to 5, how hopeful do you feel about the future?

  • 1 = not at all
  • 5 = extremely

If I was looking at the bigger picture, with a world’s eye view, I’d be feeling pretty despondent. Politics, war, economic decline, cancer, child abuse, discrimination…

However, I can make the choice to keep an eye on my little world. The place where I can have an impact, here I would say I’m at a four. Like with question 4 there is always room for improvement, don’t you think?

With the fabulous people in my life, and the journeys yet to take, I can see so many wonderful opportunities.

My children, for example, are growing into fine young men, both are such great company. And when they leave home, which isn’t for a long while yet, I will have a full and varied life still. Parenting will always be one of my roles, but it is not my sole purpose in life. My confidence has grown such that I am now capable of ticking off bucket list items which have stood for decades. And for each item I scratch out I seem to add three more so no chance of running out of plans either.
