...in anger (this has nothing to do with Oasis but I do love that song!). You can spend your whole life working on improving aspects of your life. Imagine you've always struggled with your career and finding something that you like that pays enough that you can live a life you're happy with you. Imagine … Continue reading Don’t look back
Unexpected circumstances
Whether you're stressed, organised or relaxed as you go through life, unexpected circumstances will arise. It isn't necessarily anything good or bad but rather something you haven't planned for, something that you did not anticipate. Often these things knock us for 6 and we find ourselves stuck or setback. I think that comes from the … Continue reading Unexpected circumstances
Exposed
How do you feel when you try something that doesn't work? One of the things that limits people from trying new things or just being themselves is not the thing itself but the feeling that comes afterwards. That feeling of being exposed. Of all eyes on you and nothing to show for yourself. The thought … Continue reading Exposed
Self-sabotage
How could I do that to myself? The idea that we intentionally ruin things for ourselves is fascinating but also odd because despite causing the mess we often end up surprised, sad or angry that it happened. Over-coming self-sabotaging behaviours can serve as a growth point where you have the opportunity to unlearn unhelpful beliefs. … Continue reading Self-sabotage
Comfortable or helpful
You can't always have both. So it turns out that the thing that brings you the most comfort might also be incredibly unhelpful to your personal development. It could even be the main thing holding you back from living your dream life, a life of bliss. But you get so caught up in the comfort … Continue reading Comfortable or helpful
When thank you isn’t enough
Sometimes people have no idea of the role they've played in our lives but maybe that's how it was meant to be. I hold the belief that you meet people for specific reasons. Often people come into our lives to serve as reminders of things that we've forgotten. And when you eventually remember you are … Continue reading When thank you isn’t enough
How cogs perform
The end of the year is the time when performance reviews happen. I had mine recently and it ended with me having a pretty major mind shift. The conversation about my performance wasn't bad in fact it was just good enough but that was the problem. I guess I could say I've had a cog-ish … Continue reading How cogs perform
Making a mountain out of a molehill
It might not be such a bad idea. When it comes to creating content, you have so many options: blog posts, Instagram feed, Insta-stories, IGTV, YouTube, podcasts, tweets etc. I've been thinking about how instead of just creating one thing, you can share one piece of content across different platforms. That's a great way to … Continue reading Making a mountain out of a molehill
Black Friday: A false sense of urgency
Buy it now, before it's too late! So yesterday was black Friday and I think for the first time ever I noticed how full on it actually is. There are so many things to possibly buy and so many deals and discounts to give into. As I scrolled through sites looking for potential purchases I … Continue reading Black Friday: A false sense of urgency
Work and play
They're both important. We live in a society where it's not uncommon to find people almost competing about who works the hardest. Working a 9to5. Doing overtime. Working a 9to5 then a passion project 5to9. Staying in the office till late. Being self employed and working 7 days a week. Coming into the office at … Continue reading Work and play
