When you're in a situation where someone doesn't like what you said or how you feel, your instinct may be to apologise. This probably feels like the easiest way to resolve the issue and you might even tell yourself that next time you'll be more careful about what you say around this person to avoid … Continue reading The wrong time to apologise
A challenge worth accepting
At the end of 2021 I decided that I would strip back from trying to daily blog and just stick with 3 blog posts a week. I thought that would make things easier but somehow it seemed harder to keep up with. When I missed a day there was less urgency to catch up and … Continue reading A challenge worth accepting
A good thing worth ending
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The end of something that didn't reach it's full potential is like a kind of heartbreak. A thing with potential is the sort of thing you can convince yourself to stick at for much longer than is reasonable. You do this because you … Continue reading A good thing worth ending
It starts with a mindset
In the past I've written about being open to the possibilities of life. It starts with a mindset that is then followed by actions. The idea is that life is not so stiff and rigid like we can often end up being. There are infinite pathways, options and choices. And when you embrace that and … Continue reading It starts with a mindset
Money for nothing*
Creating a course and selling it is a great way to make money. Once you make it, there is no cap on how many times you can sell it. Also, unlike a physical product, you only have to make it once. It probably won't make you enough to earn a living but you can make … Continue reading Money for nothing*
Easy conversations only
When we avoid having conversations that we consider to be hard, difficult or challenging we are also saying that we're only committed to easy conversations. You then find yourself in situations where you're avoiding saying what you really think or how you really feel because you want to keep things easy. However, this just leads … Continue reading Easy conversations only
The feeling not the thing
Whilst thinking about the idea of missing out on certain aspects of life, an interesting thought came to me. What if it's the feeling we missed out on, not the thing itself. Think about how 2 people can do something totally different but it brings up the same feeling. Or about how you can do … Continue reading The feeling not the thing
Identity and aspects of self
I think it's really helpful to be in a position where your life is filled with lots of wonderful things that bring you joy to the point where your cup of joy runs over. The alternative is for your life to be filled with a single wonderful thing that brings you joy. The problem with … Continue reading Identity and aspects of self
You cannot not communicate
I've recently been pondering on thoughts about communication that I'll share as some journalling prompts: Who do you communicate best with and why? What stops you communicating when you don't feel good? Do you find it easier to communicate over the phone, in person or through written words? There's an NLP presupposition that goes you … Continue reading You cannot not communicate
Championing free stuff
I'm an advocate for things that are free and accessible to all. We all breathe and so if something as common as that can be utilised as form of deep care for your body and nervous system, I think it's worth a try. If you can afford to pay for things that's great but I … Continue reading Championing free stuff
