Getting back to the plan

This year I'd like my content to be focused around social media, career/work life, blogging and how we spend our time. I've written hundreds of wellbeing/wellness/mental health related blog posts. I think they're important and hope that they're useful but this year I'd like to do more. My intention was never for this to be … Continue reading Getting back to the plan →

A new years resolution by any other name

When it comes to new years resolutions the way I see it is that it's simply a record of what you want for yourself. The term new years resolutions has gotten a bad rap over the years. It's associated with a sort of temporary promise that you make at the start of the year and … Continue reading A new years resolution by any other name →

There are more than two options

A few weeks ago I was inspired by a reader to stick with this blog once the year comes to a close. I realised that it would be perfectly fine to just keep this blog and post less, it didn't have to be a choice between posting really often or not at all. I also … Continue reading There are more than two options →

Everything you do, every aspect of your life is scrutinised through the lens of the others as you do your best to please and appease them. It could be the way that you dress, your hair, … Continue reading Useless opinions →

I enjoyed the podcast so much that I followed the hosts on their next individual ventures. But overtime my interest in their work began to decline. It no longer felt suited to where … Continue reading Letting go of old favourites →

4 Things that might be better than social media

This year I've found myself losing interest in social media. Sometimes social media feels like standing in a crowded room where everyone is shouting and you're searching for something but don't really know what you're looking for. Our time is precious and so rather than spending 15 minutes scrolling twitter reading tweets that you don't … Continue reading 4 Things that might be better than social media →

What happens when we speak up?

This year I learnt lots of important lessons about speaking up. When we speak up we're being our authentic selves instead of hiding who we are. When we speak up we give people that care about us the opportunity to support us. When we speak up it's how we express that we value and care … Continue reading What happens when we speak up? →

Difficult problems and light-hearted solutions

I recently found myself with a problem to solve that felt difficult. It was as if the more I tried to solve it, the more challenging it became and it felt so serious. But then, I tried lightening up and looking at things from a different perspective, and I managed to find a little humour … Continue reading Difficult problems and light-hearted solutions →
