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
Six degrees of separation
It's important to have aspirations. It's also important not to create a sense of separation between where you are and where you want to be. I like to think of it as six degrees of separation but for life aspirations. You're never so far from the life that you want. For example, most of us … Continue reading Six degrees of separation
Easy and fulfilling
Those are 2 words I'd use to describe the things we often end up doing in our free time. We look at what requires the least effort and go with it. Then, once it's over, we don't feel great because we know we'd have been better off doing something else. In an ideal world things … Continue reading Easy and fulfilling
Making the leap
If there's a gap between your life and the life you want, something has to change. Life can change or you can change. One of my major underlying themes for 2022 was change. Not my usual small scale gentle change. It was the large scale, transformative change. I'm starting to understand that there are benefits … Continue reading Making the leap
Allow yourself to evolve
Starting projects can be exciting and stressful. Working on projects can be challenging and wonderful. Ending projects can be really difficult but also a great relief. How do you let go of something that has become one of your greatest achievements, something you've dedicated time, effort and money to? The answer is, you just do … Continue reading Allow yourself to evolve
When good things end
The popular quote 'all good things must come to an end' can feel like a dark cloud looming over a summers day. But good things ending isn't always a bad thing and it shouldn't nullify how great it was at the time. You have to find a way to close out the chapter with gratitude … Continue reading When good things end
Open to something progressive
When ending one thing and starting another, how do you want it to feel? On one hand the comparison between then and now might feel unhelpful. But on the other hand, the comparison allows you to view things clearly. Instead of just moving onto the next thing, it helps to reflect on how similar it … Continue reading Open to something progressive
Can we off-set poor ethics?
Can a brand compensate for cheap, poor quality clothing made in unethical working conditions by using recycled polyester, having plastic free packaging or promising to reduce their carbon emissions in the next 20 years? Or how about the owner of a company known for treating employees poorly donating millions to charities or organisations that care … Continue reading Can we off-set poor ethics?
