It's a gradual thing. One day you have a solid morning routine and the next you're running down the street with half your shirt undone hoping you have don't miss the bus and that you have everything you need. But it's not as simple as that, the loss of a habit takes time. It starts … Continue reading Losing a good habit
Dancing with fear
I could probably write a book on things I've learnt from Seth Godin. Seth taught me that maybe this fear is something I can work with instead of work for. As in, I can do everything I want to do and still have fear, instead letting the fear dictate what I do (which always ends … Continue reading Dancing with fear
That is so funny (but it wasn’t five years ago)
The art of learning to laugh, at yourself. Imagine you're at a comedy show and the comedian is making a joke about someone in the crowd, you'd probably laugh along with everyone else (granted it was funny). But what if the joke was on you, would you squirm or would you laugh. So often many … Continue reading That is so funny (but it wasn’t five years ago)
Making a breakthrough
I've said it once and I'll say it again, talking helps. When used correctly it's an excellent tool for self exploration where you can walk away from conversations and gain insight into aspects of yourself you hadn't yet uncovered. The beauty of it is that you don't have to even need talking about the thing. … Continue reading Making a breakthrough
The right time to quit
Perhaps there is no right time. It's easy to quit in the early stages but gets harder over time. After 3 years once you've invested time effort and energy quitting, even if it's for the best feels like giving up. And so, it's hard to know the right time to quit. If you've been working … Continue reading The right time to quit

Maybe you want to read more, wake up earlier, be more productive, write a book, start a podcast it could be anything. But let's take be more productive. How do you … Continue reading Habits of your future self
When life comes together
How does it feel when you realise you're living your dreams. I'd consider myself to be a bit of a dreamer. I daydream, I can be idealistic and I love stories. I daydream/visualise about my future on a regular basis sometimes intentionally and sometimes on accident. I often find that months or years later that … Continue reading When life comes together
Maybe you can do something about it
For some people the idea that they can solve the problems and inconveniences in their life is not something they've considered. When an inconvenience arises and you take the 'do nothing approach', it might not go away. It might remain or just grow and grow to the point where it's unbearable. Imagine you get a … Continue reading Maybe you can do something about it
Why sometimes you should do what you’re told
Have you ever had someone tell you what to do or what you need to work on and instantly put resistance to it, even when it's something you planned to do or know you need to work on? I have and I can take a wild guess that some of you have too. I recently … Continue reading Why sometimes you should do what you’re told
It’s a two way thing
When someone doesn't want what you're offering. In a post called generous projection, I wrote about how when people try to help, they might just be projecting. I wrote it with a focus on the receiver but what about when you're the one trying to help. We often say things like I'm here if you wanna … Continue reading It’s a two way thing
