Finding the right perspective

If something didn't work out the way you wanted and you feel bad about it and you can't seem to shake the feeling, what can you do to help yourself? I often find myself in a place of limbo trying to find balance between the more practical side of me and the part of me … Continue reading Finding the right perspective →

How to resolve a misunderstanding?

When it comes to resolving misunderstandings things can easily go wrong. But there are some things that can be done to try and get the best possible outcome. The person that misunderstood needs to be able to openly admit that they perceived things wrong. The person on the receiving end needs to accept that the … Continue reading How to resolve a misunderstanding? →

Learning difficult lessons

When you're going through the deep depths of working through it, some lessons are easier than others. Some lessons you accept and embrace but other lessons are a lot more challenging so you resist.You avoid doing the work the way you know that you should. And so the issue remains. There's a well known quote … Continue reading Learning difficult lessons →

Anxious

In a recent post I wrote about embracing awkward. Shortly after I realised that what I was referring to was anxiety, specifically social anxiety. I then got thinking about what being socially anxious looks like. I think when a person becomes aware of their own behaviour, they can end up amplifying it. You're sitting there … Continue reading Anxious →

It isn’t worth pretending

When people have an expectation of who they think or want you to be, they have a difficult time I'm accepting when you become something else. It could be a permanent thing or perhaps you are just going through a phase but either way who you become is your choice. I think we all need … Continue reading It isn’t worth pretending →

The feeling of fitting in

When we're focused on how we appear to others, we can end up doing things that we don't actually enjoy. We become so focused on perception that we don't even consider the importance of prioritising ourselves. It's worth acknowledging that sometimes we have a need to feel accepted. When your self esteem is low it's … Continue reading The feeling of fitting in →

Willing to walk away

When it comes to asking for what you want, if you don't get it, what do you do next? Are you willing to walk away? I think that sometimes problems arise when we aren't willing to be firm. We say we want something, don't get it and then just continue on as normal. But I … Continue reading Willing to walk away →

Change the way you respond

If something happens and your feelings get hurt or you don't like the way that someone has treated you, it's important to do something about it. It's easy to get into the habit of sheepishly speaking up then cowering and retreating when the other person shuts you down. When this happens, the other person learns … Continue reading Change the way you respond →

Unhelpful habits

Most of us have at least one habit that we know is unhelpful, in fact perhaps you can clearly see how at times it hinders your life. However, you choose to do nothing about it. You've accepted the habit as part of who you are instead of it being something that you're open to changing … Continue reading Unhelpful habits →

Accepting where you’re at

Where you are right now might not be where you wish you were. But it's important to accept it. You may have a detailed dream life that feels a million miles from you're current life. And so you focus on the future to distract yourself from your current circumstances. Perhaps there are feelings of embarrassment, … Continue reading Accepting where you’re at →

What I love about writing on thedailygemm is that I can look back and remember the inspiration behind certain posts. Sometimes writing is just a way for me to work through a difficult situation, instead of getting caught up in the moment, I put the focus on finding a solution or looking at things from a different perspective. Haven't been writing on this blog lately. Instead I've been going to a weekly writing class and working on articles for something new. I love it when my most popular posts are also some of my personal favourites. September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 I that I'm able to write things that will be helpful to read months or even years later. Top posts from May last year. When I write from personal experience and it resonates, I always think, this is for us. It's for me being able to express myself and something that you can relate to.
