Re-learning compromise

If you're used to always being the one to bend to the needs of another, you might reach a point where you decide to change. Perhaps after an epiphany about the importance of balance. When it comes to some change, the advice is to go slow and take it bit by bit. However, when it … Continue reading Re-learning compromise →

What do you really want to do?

I think sometimes the fear we have of making the wrong choice is really just a sign that our mind is not clear. On the flipside, when you're mind is not clouded over with stuff you're able to be more spontaneous and quick thinking with your choices. More often than we realise we know exactly … Continue reading What do you really want to do? →

Letting things pile up

Little problems can suddenly become big problems. It is so important to address things in the moment instead of brushing them off, waiting or saying nothing. When you do this you'll find that days, weeks or even months later you're bringing stuff up that were (according to the other person) not an issue when they … Continue reading Letting things pile up →

Random passing thought

Sometimes all it takes is to tune into a random passing thought. Perhaps there is something that has been on your mind for a while or maybe it's something that you'd totally forgotten about. Either way, you'll get a thought that serves as a call to action that gives you an idea of what to … Continue reading Random passing thought →

Declutter your life

The easiest way to transform a space is to take everything out, make a plan for how you want things to look and then bring things back in accordingly. By doing things this way you'll be very intentional about what you bring in as you want the room to look as good as possible. On … Continue reading Declutter your life →

The problem with letting things slide

If you get someone used to treating you a certain way or acting in a particular way towards you, the person will come to expect you to allow it. Sometimes you allow things that you aren't okay with because you don't want to rock the boat, hurt the persons feelings or you've told yourself that … Continue reading The problem with letting things slide →

Minimising uncertainty

One of the triggers for anxiety is uncertainty. It's fair to say that uncertainty is a part of life. However, there are plenty of times in life where you can seek clarity to help fill in the gaps. This can be done by asking more questions. Questions like: When would you like me to complete … Continue reading Minimising uncertainty →

The power of taking space

It might feel easier to hold on but maybe what you really need to do is let go. Taking space is a powerful thing. When you spend time away from something you have developed an attachment to it gives you room to find clarity and to come back to yourself. So often you may find … Continue reading The power of taking space →

Pace, pace, Lead

Something I read in a book about NLP. Sometimes I'm a little hesitant to embrace every aspect of NLP because using methods to influence people in your favour is potentially unethical or at least comes across as manipulative. But other times I find that NLP can provide a useful guide on how to word things … Continue reading Pace, pace, Lead →

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.
