I think this happens to us all from time to time. Stress and anxiety can result in time 'speeding up'. You spend so much time feeling overwhelmed that by the time you go to take action, it already feels like it's too late. And so you go back to feeling overwhelmed again and the cycle … Continue reading What to do when you feel like you don’t have enough time?

How to avoid getting caught up in your feelings?
Around a month or so ago, an idea came to me that I found really useful. The idea was that situations that emotionally charge us are a reminder to focus on ourselves. Instead of getting caught up in the moment, feeling bad or worrying, take some time to check in with yourself. Perhaps you were … Continue reading How to avoid getting caught up in your feelings?
How to tell if it’s working?
When you're working on yourself, it can be easy to overlook the progress you're making. Sometimes it can feel as if nothing has changed. It's not until you find yourself in a challenging situation and you are able to manage it so differently compared to in the past, that you realise the work you have … Continue reading How to tell if it’s working?
A mindful offload
If you're someone that likes to vent and offload I think it's important to be mindful. Think about things such as: How many times have I vented to this person about the same issue? Has anything changed or am I just repeating the same thing over and over again? Do I want help solving this … Continue reading A mindful offload

Something I've learnt is that reading the comments before watching the content can totally skew your view. You might not even realise that your opinion is not your own but simply a mix of the … Continue reading Don’t read the comments
Re-learning compromise
If you're used to always being the one to bend to the needs of another, you might reach a point where you decide to change. Perhaps after an epiphany about the importance of balance. When it comes to some change, the advice is to go slow and take it bit by bit. However, when it … Continue reading Re-learning compromise
Bent out of shape
People that are used to people pleasing know what it's like to put their own wants and needs aside. Sometimes, you convince yourself that you're just compromising to find a balance. This is fine, until you realise that you're the only one willing to change. This could all be with one person or apply to … Continue reading Bent out of shape
