There is a popular saying goes something like 'insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results'. But what's worth understanding is that sometimes you need to do the same thing over and over again. Take meditation for example, it's very rare that you get it the first time. It could take ten times, … Continue reading Knowing when to pivot
Big problems and small solutions
Sometimes we assume that the solution to a problem has to be complicated. We overlook the little things forgetting how big an impact can be caused by something small. And so we go in search of something complicated but to no avail. Then the problem continues and maybe even grows which causes us to become … Continue reading Big problems and small solutions
There’s no need for survival mode
A while back I came to the realisation that unless your basic needs like food, air and shelter etc. are at risk then any mistake you make or growth point you encounter is not 'the end of the world'.

In need of a push
I think it's fair to say that sometimes we'd rather be comfortable and complain than push ourselves.

A common example of where this occurs is the … Continue reading In need of a push

Made up systems
The way your world operates would be quite different if you lived in another period or in another country. You'd be living a life made up of slightly or even totally different systems to the ones you currently know. That's something that may have crossed your mind multiple times. But, do you ever take it … Continue reading Made up systems

The power of taking space
It might feel easier to hold on but maybe what you really need to do is let go. Taking space is a powerful thing.

What do you want in relationships?
It's so interesting that often in different types of relationships we hold back instead from just being ourselves and allowing things to work out the way they're meant to be. You make a conscious effort to be less of yourself instead of just modelling what you want from your relationships. This choice leaves you feeling … Continue reading What do you want in relationships?
