In a recent discussion online, I got thinking about how when it comes to information or resources we pay for things that we can get for free. But what I've come to realise is that for me it's not about getting the information, it's about doing something with it. When you pay money for something … Continue reading Paying for free stuff
Try something new
I'm a blogger/writer and even though I consider that to be creative, I do it so often that it doesn't always feel that way. That is the reason that I see great significance in experimenting with my writing. Outside of my 2 blogs I write poetry, occasionally journal and have a notebook dedicated to writing … Continue reading Try something new
Even if it all falls apart
I hold the belief that even if it all falls apart, everything will always be okay. Which means that I often don't give things as much effort as I could or should because I'm aware that everything will be okay, no matter the outcome. When we take advantage of our circumstances life has this way … Continue reading Even if it all falls apart
Taking the first step
We often know exactly what needs to be done but for various reasons find ways to try and get around doing it. But eventually we find ourselves back where we started knowing that all we need to do is take the first step. It might feel like the most terrifying the world. You might end … Continue reading Taking the first step
Consistency, commitment and a lack of heart
There's a line from an oasis song that goes 'you can't get a life if your hearts not in it'' It's funny how a moody 90s band can just totally get you. I've been thinking about how sometimes it's easy to create things from a place of heart and feeling but other days not so … Continue reading Consistency, commitment and a lack of heart
Spending time
Imagine if you took a break from Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, TV and Facebook. How much more time would you have each week? And if you used that time to work on something you truly care about or something that will benefit you like learning a new skill, learning a new language, studying, writing your book … Continue reading Spending time
Old favourites
We all have them. Cosy socks, worn out joggers and a stripy fleece (or maybe that's just me). I find that most people go back to old favourites be it an outfit combination, shoes, a book, movie, tv show, hairstyle, nail colour, a person or a place. We do it because as people we are … Continue reading Old favourites
Where I go
I feel like anyone that blogs daily has this mental space that they go to when they're writing. For me I tap into my inner monologue. It's always running and so I simply stop and pay attention to it for long enough to write a hundred words or so. For the most part it's easy … Continue reading Where I go
Does equal contribution matter?
When it comes to working on a project or task as a group, is it more important that each member contributes equally or that everyone plays to their strengths. Initially I thought that it was necessary for everyone to contribute equally but then I got thinking more about the individual. I think the solution is … Continue reading Does equal contribution matter?
Settlers and explorers
Some people choose to settle because they want a life of comfort, stability and familiarity. Or maybe it's that they've figured out what they want from life or what they want to pursue. Some people choose to explore because they have trust in the part of them that is curious to experience more in life … Continue reading Settlers and explorers
