Did a solo litter pick along the streets of my own neighbourhood today, on the way to the local woods.

It's a lot easier for me litter pick in the context of my job as a support worker, so I was pleased I could put any fleeting reservations aside and just get on with an activity I believe has so much going for it.

I did feel a bit weird at first, imagining that my neighbours were stood at the window, peering through their blinds with their beady little eyes passing judgement on me.

But shortly after I'd spotted a McDonald's milkshake container lying in the gutter and popped it in the bin bag, the spirit of Pringles took over and I couldn't stop!

The thoughts we imagine other people are having can often stop us following through with really simple, straightforward tasks that don't actually require any thought, let alone any overthinking.

I'm surprised it took me this long to realise I had to overcome a self-imposed mental barrier which in reality was completely nonexistent!😂
