Letting go of old favourites

Around 6 years ago I came across a podcast and that I really enjoyed. However, shortly after I discovered it, it ended. I enjoyed the podcast so much that I followed the hosts on their next individual ventures. But overtime my interest in their work began to decline. It no longer felt suited to where … Continue reading Letting go of old favourites →

A wonderful regression

A few days ago I created a Feedly account so that I could start following blogs again. It felt like a wonderful regression back to the days where blogging was the big thing and I would spend my weekday evenings but mainly Sunday mornings reading through new blog posts from all the sites I followed … Continue reading A wonderful regression →

5 things to do instead of blogging

For the past year or so I've been thinking about other ways that I can create and share it with people outside of blogging. As someone that has been blogging for over a decade across various sites, I often think about the alternatives. What would would I do if I didn't blog? The internet gives … Continue reading 5 things to do instead of blogging →

Understanding content

I recently watched a video and found myself in the comments to see how my opinion of the content compared with others. The general gist was that it wasn't informative which I agreed with. But then I realised that I was misunderstanding the content. The purpose was not to inform but to entertain. It was … Continue reading Understanding content →

Why I’ve decided not to quit

I've previously written a post titled Short term creative projects. It was about things not needing to last, about having temporary projects and producing work in seasons. Those thoughts came from me wanting to make changes with how I choose to create moving forward. I've always struggled to keep a long-term vision. I find myself … Continue reading Why I’ve decided not to quit →

The first 10 subscribers

Over the past few months I've found myself really interested in newsletters. Many of the blogs I used to regularly read are now sites I check out every once in a while or have just forgotten about altogether. People don't blog (or read blogs) like they used to and the sort of blog content that … Continue reading The first 10 subscribers →

Social media can have you invested in the lives of strangers, influence you to waste money on things you don't really want and serve as an … Continue reading 7 types of people to unfollow on Instagram →

When free is better than cheap

Most people that sell things that are 'expensive' also give things away for free. Maybe you do some sort of one on one coaching but you also do a free weekly podcast or YouTube video. Doing so allows you to make a living from what you do whilst also ensuring that those that can't afford … Continue reading When free is better than cheap →

  • My most popular blog posts of 2022
Reading back through these posts I'm reminded of the situations that inspired me to write them. I love that my most popular post from February 2022 was my valentines day post. Hoping to be back posting a little bit more this year, starting with a roundup of my most popular posts from each month of 2022. I was first introduced to Neuro-Linguistic Programming around 6 years ago when I had a conversation with a life coach. I'd never even heard of a life coach prior to this but I remember her speaking about NLP and I was really intrigued. A little while after I bought this book. It opened me up to different ways of thinking, some of which felt quite radical at the time but are very normal to me now. After almost 3 years of daily blogging, here are a few things that I found helpful. Some thoughts I had after a week of struggling to write. For me, looking back on old poems is like looking through a photo album. I write poems about life but also the people that have impacted me in some way. Years later, I can look back and remember those moments which I think is pretty special. The poems I have are from the past 8 years and so some of the people I've written about are no longer in my life but I love that I'm able to capture the memories in words. So this is something quite relevant in my life at the moment. We often confuse what we're thinking about with what's important which is only sometimes true. You might find yourself consumed with thoughts of a time you felt embarrassed and end up thinking that it really matters. If you're not sure whether something is important, ask yourself whether it matters in the grand scheme of life and death. More often than not, the answer is no. We often put so much pressure on ourselves to be simple and live simple lives (in terms of having everything go to plan). The truth is people are complex and so is life but that isn't a bad thing.
