Should we stop saying should? Last weeks post was about language and the effect it has on our perspective. You can read that post here if you wish: Changing Language, Changing Perspective. I'd like to take another step into it. Should, it seems, is not a useful word when it comes to perspective. There's no …

Changing Language, Changing Perspective
The way we talk about something, be it a task ahead, a chore we have to do, or just anything or anyone in life we have to deal with, actually has an astounding effect on our perspective of the thing in question. Let me tell you a story of how this blog post came …
Cracks in the Porcelain
I think it's healthy to keep in mind that not everything is perfect and that everything has flaws. Last week I discussed that, in an ideal world, Social Media should be a place of acceptance and empathy; it honestly has that power, it's just more often than not it is abused. The thing is, whilst …
Helping Hands
I think, sometimes, that we spend so long working on ourselves that we forget the value of working with others. Clockwork Clouds has long been about my personal introspection, but whilst I often write to understand the inner workings of my mind, I also write to share my thoughts and feelings with the hope that …
Making My World Small
One phrase my therapist mentioned within our first ever interaction was that I was "making my world small". That stuck with me. It's a simple sentence that encompasses so much about how I deal with my problems and how I cope with anxiety/depression. It'll be different for everyone, we're all on our own journeys, but …

Pressure tends to be synonymous with negativity. When we're under pressure to produce something, we often feel stunted or limited. However, pressure in some forms can be a use for good. Anyone who knows me, or has read even just a couple of my posts, will know I procrastinate.... A lot.... I've recently learned that …
20th to 26th: A Friday Feeling
Sticking to last weeks commitment, I'm going to be giving a run down of my week and the things that I'm grateful for along the way. On Friday I was grateful for the first (and potentially only, knowing our wacky weather right now) BBQ of the year. Bought a little portable BBQ, to save using …
Hidden Demons
No man is an island; but it can often feel like we're stranded out here alone. I've been dealing recently with some personal demons, you can read about these here: Asking for Help and Getting Worse to Get Better. As a continuation of the theme of my blog, I wanted to again address this idea of mental …
Getting Worse to Get Better
In last weeks post I addressed my recent diagnosis, and I touched upon how it made things feel more "real". In truth, it feels a lot like getting worse to get better and, as such, I felt it wise to probably document this and write about it; either as a therapy to myself or perhaps …
Reflecting and Changing
For the past few months I've felt like everything was on hold. For those of you not in the know, my work offered all it's employees a fantastic opportunity; voluntary redundancy with one years pay. You can read more about it in my post, , but, long story short, it was my dream opportunity, which …
