A lot of people regularly find themselves overwhelmed. The possibilites in every area of life are growing more and more each day. There was a point in time where what you ate was limited to what you could kill and what you could grow at that time of year.

Emotional labour
When it comes to the work that you do, do you work hard? Not as in work that requires physical labour but another kind of hard work, the sort that requires you to give something of yourself. I guess it's what is known as emotional labour. So often, we refrain from exerting emotional labour because … Continue reading Emotional labour
What to do when it’s not working
If what you're doing isn't working, try something else. It really is that simple yet we often end up making things more complicated than they need to be. We moan and complain about the way things are and daydream about the way we wish things could be. But we forget that actually things can change … Continue reading What to do when it’s not working
Learned behaviour
I'm really into self-observation and learning about why we are the way we are. I find behaviour to be quite fascinating.

A writer is intentional about the words they use based on what feelings they want to evoke or how they want to portray the subject. And sometimes that act of choosing words … Continue reading Choosing words wisely
Simple pleasures
When what you can do becomes limited you start finding pleasure in the smaller things. It's not necessarily that these things meant nothing to you before but when you get caught up in the flurry of life it can be easy to over look the little things. However, sometimes the case is that you're so … Continue reading Simple pleasures
Worth the hassle
Before deciding whether or not to do something it's worth asking yourself if it is worth the hassle. Sometimes, we jump in head first because we think we should do something or we feel like we're supposed to do it. Instead, I think it's much more helpful to assess if it's something that even needs … Continue reading Worth the hassle
Exploring something new
From a young age it is likely that you were taught to figure out what you wanted to do with your life. That in turn dictated the choices you made and paths you chose for many years that followed.
