Worth sticking up for

How many times have you held your tongue or put the needs of others before your own? Often the idea of being selfless is something that is praised but the reality is that it's often just self-sacrifice. When the person that puts others first is around people that put themselves first, they end up losing. … Continue reading Worth sticking up for →

Joy and tragedy

It's can be easy to end up feeling guilty for being in a state of of joy when you know that people in other countries have had their lives turned upside down. How do we balance joy and tragedy?

Order status update

I recently placed an online order from a beauty retailer and one from a fashion retailer. Both orders were delayed and the companies handled things totally differently. One company handled it by providing regular email updates on the status of my order, to apologise for their delay and assure me that I'd receive my parcel … Continue reading Order status update →

What matters most?

Sometimes the choice you have to make is between taking care of yourself and meeting other peoples expectations. Nobody wants to be considered a let down which is why often people end up putting themselves aside and focusing more on other people. But you shouldn't treat yourself as though you don't matter, you matter just … Continue reading What matters most? →

Unideal situations

I recently had an unanticipated situation occur, in fact I'd describe it as unideal. At first I found myself focusing on the situation, all that had occurred and how it had led me to feel. But the more I got thinking about it, the more I found myself zooming out and thinking about this situation … Continue reading Unideal situations →

Start showing up

It's important to show up for the things that you care about and for the things that matter. It doesn't need to be for praise and attention, simply do it for yourself. This can be applied to so many things. Maybe you're passionate about the environment, you might even have lots of good ideas or … Continue reading Start showing up →

A writers growth

Looking through drafts is a great way to observe your growth as a writer. Many time you come across things your current self would never write and so you press delete. Other times you come across good ideas that are poorly written out and you then have the option to just delete them and start … Continue reading A writers growth →

Least time, most value

If you could only listen to 3 artists for the rest of your life, who would they be? I was thinking about this recently and I found myself surprised that the artists I'd choose are the ones I listen to the least. There was once a time that I listened to them the most but … Continue reading Least time, most value →

The wrong perception

How you view yourself impacts how you act. How you act, influences how you are perceived. If you don't think much of yourself, it'll show up in your posture the way you speak and the kinds of things that you say. And in turn you may be perceived as quiet, shy, uninterested, someone who doesn't … Continue reading The wrong perception →

On learning to voice your needs

I just googled not being able to voice your needs and there were about 1,220,000,000 results. Being able to voice your needs is an important part of life. If you can't say what you need, you probably won't get it. If you've ever been that person you might have been lucky enough to find someone … Continue reading On learning to voice your needs →

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.
