Complaints can be categorised into 2 groups, things you can change and things you can't change. If you are able to sort the issue that feel the need to complain about, it's probably not worth the effort to complain. Instead take action, do something about it. Lets say that you're cold. You could fix this … Continue reading Complaint without action

Tackling the issue
If you know what the issue is, do something about it. You might be nervous or feel like you don't have the confidence but the issue will only persist if you don't take action. And don't be half-hearted, tackle it with full gusto. Have the conversations that need to be had and do the things … Continue reading Tackling the issue
Don’t wait for magic

Instead of waiting for some kind of magic to turn you into someone that gets things done straight away, make it … Continue reading Don’t wait for magic
Going with the tide
Sometimes change begins not with action but with a feeling. Perhaps you find yourself doing something you've done for years, something that you usually enjoy but this time it feels different.

Or maybe you go online and do some research hoping to find a story that resonates from someone that … Continue reading Time to jump
If I was you…
It's easy to pass judgements on other peoples choices. 'If I was you I'd have...' 'Maybe if you ..... then this wouldn't have happened' But your judgement is rarely being sought out so maybe think about ways to be helpful instead. Sometimes when a person is riled up, frustrated and they take action it's not … Continue reading If I was you…

So often we find ourselves overwhelmed by our ever-growing to-do lists that we end up thinking more planning, more thinking and more organising is the way forward.

Forgotten dreams
What happened to those dreams off yours, those dreams you had to make, see and do? When did you forget about the plans you made and what exactly are you doing now? Everybody has a dream. Whether it's something you once worked towards and gave up on or merely that thing you think about as … Continue reading Forgotten dreams
The dreamers curse
As a disclaimer I'd like to say that I've avoided writing this post because I don't believe it's healthy or helpful to identify with being cursed. However, the title does have a nice ring to it so I couldn't resist. The dreamers curse is simply only having the ability to fulfill one half of the … Continue reading The dreamers curse
