One Man One Hammock

One Man One Hammock

By Lyndon Wesley

I momentarily tried to escape the world in my hammock and instead created a podcast.

Welcome to One Man, One Hammock.

Recorded musings as I lie in an old hammock in my backyard and try to make sense of one thought before falling asleep.

What If Things Don’t Go To Plan? The Attitude of Gratitude and an unexpected trip in the Pulsar.

What If Things Don’t Go To Plan? The Attitude of Gratitude and an unexpected trip in the Pulsar. We all know things rarely go to plan. When everything works out it’s glorious but coping with unexpected change can be challenging. What’s your strategy? Or do you just ‘go with the flow’? I like to think that I’m pretty easy going but the reality is often very different! #plans #change #gratitude #wellbeing

The Worst Advice I’ve Been Given, The Real Reason I was Late For School & the power of comedy.

The Worst Advice I’ve Been Given, The Real Reason I was Late For School & the power of comedy.

What’s the worst advice you’ve ever been given? Thankfully I’ve probably received more good advice than bad, and over the years I reckon I’ve successfully filtered out the worst of the bad advice. However, it’s not always easy to spot, especially when you’re young and impressionable!

Feral Cats, Beach Trends, Saved by Mary Gauthier plus Two White Pebbles and One Ginger Rabbit.

Back in the hammock after two weeks holiday only to be interrupted by roaming tomcats and an escapee rabbit. As the dust settles I contemplate how guilt was a lousy motivator and why songwriting could be my ticket to better health.

How Not to Relax, Lowering My Expectations and The Mythical Land of Whelming.

Coming at you from my Australian Geographic camping hammock, somewhere along the Great Ocean Rd where I’m considering a world where we all live with lowered expectations.

Diesel Heaters, Camping, Migraine, plus character traits that are both great and super annoying.

Do you have a character trait that you see as positive but at the same time it can be really annoying? I do. While installing a diesel heater in our camper I was continually confronted with my perfectionism. It was really bothering me. So I took to the hammock for some time out and reflection.

Whiskey Sours, Killer Mozzies, Twitch Newbie and a short detour into Self-Worth!

The best Whiskey Sour is the one in your hand and the best place to drink it is in a hammock! This week I discover that through the pandemic I had lost a big chunk of self worth plus I ponder the virtues of taking things for granted.

Is it too late to become the person you were meant to be?

Is it too late to become the person you were meant to be?

It’s a beautiful sunny afternoon in Melbourne. I should be napping in the hammock but this question keeps running around in my head.
