“Great is the mystery of Faith.”

July 20, 2022 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

Photo by Raman deep on Pexels.com I have not written for a number of years on this site. This is due in part to pending further intel as I search to understand as much as I can about myself, the world we live in, and how we interact with each other as individuals and as … Continue reading “Great is the mystery of Faith.”

Procrastination!

May 4, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

"Courage is not the absence of fear, rather it is the ability to take action in the face of it." I wonder if you are able to identify with me on this one? The odds are that you can think of something you are putting off - an unpaid bill, changing the address on your … Continue reading Procrastination!

Finding our “Purpose”

April 11, 2018April 11, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

I feel like I have a purpose, some task or function I am supposed to carry out in life. I want to lead and inspire other people, be successful at what I do and feel loved. There is a sense of urgency in me to find it and I have worried over whether I will … Continue reading Finding our “Purpose”

Surpassing one’s label – ADHD

March 7, 2018March 7, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

Relief flooded over me as I discovered I was not lacking or morally deficient in the ways I had come to believe. The Shame is still there today, but I can distinguish it and tell it to bugger off.

Survival living

A Databank is a repository of information on one or more subjects, organized in a way that facilitates local or remote information retrieval, able to processes a large number of continual queries over a long period of time. Imagine your brain as a databank storing information from past experiences coupled with an operating system tasked with … Continue reading Survival living

Stuck in wonderland…

February 2, 2018February 12, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

"I'm stuck in this job," I said. Resigned - I did. We have all probably had situations where we felt unhappy, yet did nothing about it. Whether that be in our relationships, work, families or finances; it may have seemed as though we could do nothing. I have felt as though I have been held … Continue reading Stuck in wonderland…

Loss and looking for sadness

January 25, 2018January 29, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

I recently read a post on loss, where a man described how he would press his face into his wife's clothing, desperately searching for her scent. What he wrote caught me off-guard and I have rarely had such keen identification. I would find my father's overcoat and press my face into its lapel, inhaling deeply … Continue reading Loss and looking for sadness

Is it right to write this blog?

January 24, 2018January 26, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

I have chosen to write a blog; about the comings and goings, ramblings and musings of my mind... I have the arrogance to assume that you would want to read about me or the things that I am passionate about. Nevertheless, I am permitting myself this indulgence. I enjoy it and I find helpful to … Continue reading Is it right to write this blog?

A bit about a bright-eyed, yet discerning, basket case.

January 18, 2018January 24, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

I am writing this from my office desk in London, over three years in recovery and in the process of shaping my future. I hope that my journey and adventures to come, which I’d like you to be a part of, will help somebody who has known darkness to live in the light! As a … Continue reading A bit about a bright-eyed, yet discerning, basket case.

January 17, 2018March 7, 2018 / Henry Lewin / Leave a comment

Hello! I'm Henners. I want to write about what's real and worth living for, along with those things I have clung to for a measly dopamine release. I invite you to join me in uncovering the truth in our lives by shedding light on what really goes on behind the scenes of a seemingly accomplished … Continue reading The Mentalman’s Journal
