The idea of exploring is one I don't think is valued enough. I don't mean travelling and exploring new countries or cities, I mean exploring self. Being able to know your own limits whilst also being able to put yourself out there and experience new things. It's so easy to stay within the remit of … Continue reading Saying yes to exploration

The perfect time to begin
It's a new day, a new month, a new year and a new decade. If you've been waiting for the perfect time to begin, that time is now. Start the blog, writing the book, writing songs, writing poetry, take that class, visit that new city, initiate plans with that person you met recently, start that … Continue reading The perfect time to begin
Comfortable or helpful
You can't always have both. So it turns out that the thing that brings you the most comfort might also be incredibly unhelpful to your personal development. It could even be the main thing holding you back from living your dream life, a life of bliss. But you get so caught up in the comfort … Continue reading Comfortable or helpful
Embracing a care-less mentality
Mid-week musings on not embracing anxiety. If you find yourself caught in the analysis paralysis of indecision it might be worth making a conscious effort to care-less. Instead of allowing the thoughts to go on and on until breaking point, give yourself a deadline. 3 minutes, 3 hours or 3 days before you have to … Continue reading Embracing a care-less mentality
Going outside your comfort zone
You can always go back. One of the things that I don't think is often considered is that when you leave your comfort zone you can always go back if things don't work out. For example if you make music and usually just keep it to yourself, try putting it out there for people to … Continue reading Going outside your comfort zone
Looking back from a place of lack
It's more than just comfort and familiarity but it's both of those things too. When you move on from something and you haven't reached the place you moved on to, it's totally normal to look back at what you left or let go of. And when you're in a place of limbo, perhaps feeling a … Continue reading Looking back from a place of lack
The waiting game
Not all games are worth playing, not unless you have to. If you could choose certainty over uncertainty, would you? Would you still choose certainty if it required courage and perhaps a little discomfort (which is totally normal when something is new). If the answer is no then that means that your fear overrides the … Continue reading The waiting game
Getting to know you
How exactly does one discover themselves? Through exploration, experimentation and being open to the unknown. If you live your life in the box of what you know, you may think that you know yourself. But actually, there is so much more of you to explore outside of that box. As much as there is 'the … Continue reading Getting to know you
An alternative to seeking reassurance
It was either Seth Godin or Simon Sinek that once said that you shouldn’t seek reassurance because it’s something you can never have enough of. I don’t think I fully understood the statement until I observed it in others and in myself. Reassurance creates a temporary fence of stability that lets you know things are … Continue reading An alternative to seeking reassurance
Self-discovery
Don't spend so much time trying to figure yourself out and. Pondering and ruminating on where you fit in and the kind of person that you are. Give yourself some credit and remember that you aren't so simple that you fit into a neat box or that you're easy to label. You're complex and ever-evolving. … Continue reading Self-discovery
