If you could plan a day in your dream life what would it include and how much does it differ from how you currently live. Use it as a journal prompt or just something to day dream about. I've been thinking a lot about my dream life recently and there are a few things that … Continue reading Dream life and self-belief
When things don’t go to plan
It's impossible to be prepared for every possible life circumstance that can arise. We don't plan for people being unwell, long'term unemployment, falling into a depression, someone stealing your bag etc. But the more I experience different aspects of life I'm learning to be okay with things that happen. I remember years ago writing the … Continue reading When things don’t go to plan
Come as you are and empowerment
I’m no Nirvana fan, I just like the quote and I also learnt that it is not a quote from the bible although the book does reference that sort of vibe. Anyway, I was thinking about how I feel about this blog and why I love writing it so much even more than my other … Continue reading Come as you are and empowerment
Molly my-way
I once new someone who's infamous line was 'But why?'. It made for a difficult relationship when you were questioned every time you said no. It would go something like can you (insert favour here)? I'd reply no, then be hit with but why, I'd say I don't want to and be hit with but … Continue reading Molly my-way
Aspects of self
Growing up in watched a lot of TV and became really interested in characters, how we define ourselves and labels. I think that is where my interest in people, the human experience and eventually social science came from. I grew up trying to figure out who I was and what labels fit me. I was … Continue reading Aspects of self

I've had days where I'm too consumed in other life stuff to really give my all to the post I share that day. If this was anything else I'd have probably … Continue reading No breaks allowed
Less Seth, More me
I first came across Seths blog around 5 years ago and I remember thinking that I'd never be able to daily blog. It amazed me that he was able to not only have something to post daily but something good. I'd read his posts and be inspired or find myself reflecting on aspects of my … Continue reading Less Seth, More me
In search of purpose
I've never been a career person. But I've always thought I had a purpose, some thing I was meant to do. I have no idea what that was meant to be. I don't have any particular talents outside of daydreaming, keeping a journal and being an ideas person although they are things I've been doing … Continue reading In search of purpose
Raising the stakes and sharpening up
It's easy to get slack and fall off of all your useful practices. Often we don't even notice until days or weeks have gone by and then you think to yourself, I can't remember the last time I meditated. Once you fall off it can be hard to get back on track. You might even … Continue reading Raising the stakes and sharpening up
Don’t give up yet
When you're tired the last thing you want to do is keep going but there's a certain kind of magic that occurs when you push on just that little bit more. When giving up/giving in is an option but you don't choose it you open yourself up to possibility of expanding yourself beyond what you … Continue reading Don’t give up yet
