Old ways
It might seem that right now there is little that you can do but revert to your old ways. If you've learnt self observation then perhaps you're used to your patterns of behaviour. Perhaps you can clearly map out and identify your old ways. And if you can do that then you can also choose … Continue reading Old ways
At your best
At you're best you are joyful, kind, considerate, a good listener, focused, playful and caring. But sometimes you're also inconsiderate, moody, a bad listener, you have your head in the clouds (as in you're distracted and not present), you're rigid and harsh.

But the thing is how you coped … Continue reading Habits of your childhood self
What do you know about you?

Something I’ve always focused on is behaviour. When you find yourself doing and saying things or … Continue reading What do you know about you?

Who's to blame? Why is it happening? And most importantly, how do you break the cycle? I'm going to have … Continue reading Same old, same old
