But you've been saying that for the past few weeks now. Tomorrow often seems more convenient or maybe you just hope you'll be more in the mood to get it done. That's how hours or days turn into weeks, we hold this belief that we should wait until we're in the mood but you may … Continue reading I’ll do it tomorrow
Is a 9-5 enough?
In an age where we can create our own platforms and put our voices out there I often ask myself if I should be doing more. Granted I have 2 blogs alongside working full-time and studying part-time but writing on my blog is something that is so safe and familiar to me that I wonder … Continue reading Is a 9-5 enough?
Do nothing
Maybe what you need is to go back to simplicity to sitting down on the sofa with a cosy fleece jacket on and your favourite music playing as you do nothing. In this day and age it's almost become uncomfortable to do nothing which is why so often when we take a break from our … Continue reading Do nothing
Do you remember 4 years ago?
I recently bumped into someone that I hadn't seen in 4 years. Sure we follow each other on social media but we don't interact with each other much. So what was so amazing is that things fell right into place as though no time had passed, in the best possible way. This person even brought … Continue reading Do you remember 4 years ago?
Bouncebackability
Turns out this is a real word, not one that I made up! It's pretty self-explanatory: a person’s ability to bounce back from a challenging situation For example, you attend an interview and don't get the job. Do you wallow and internalise it?

I was recently talking 'minds stuff' with someone and I used my favourite analogy of going through the filing cabinets of your mind. It's like we … Continue reading Your personal filing system
Girl off-track
It happens to the best of us and sometimes it's what we need. Falling off-track serves as a necessary reminder of what we've learnt or how far we've come. Noticing that your habits and practices have dissolved and been replaced by your former unhelpful ways is just a sign to get yourself back on track. … Continue reading Girl off-track
A different way
When you get into the routine of doing things a certain way, it might not even occur to you that there is a different or better way of doing things. After all you have your way and it works, it's comfortable and familiar. So, what does it take for someone who is set in their ways … Continue reading A different way
Getting started
Sometimes I get so overwhelmed by all the things that I could be doing that I just don’t’t know where to start. And so I do nothing and then get frustrated at the time I’ve wasted. It’s not what I would call laziness because I’m often fine once I get started. Instead, it’s this feeling of ‘Where do … Continue reading Getting started
Giving up
Sometimes when things look difficult the first thing you want to do is give up. After all there's no way you can do it. You're not smart enough, you'll fail or someone else can do it better than you. But sometimes it's more than that. Maybe the truth is that this difficult thing will force … Continue reading Giving up
