Most popular blog post

I had this idea that each time I write and click publish, it needed to be really good. In doing so i forgot that this blog is a writing practise and the point of practise isn't to be perfect every time but to put in the work little to by little to eventually get better … Continue reading Most popular blog post →

How to tell if it’s working?

When you're working on yourself, it can be easy to overlook the progress you're making. Sometimes it can feel as if nothing has changed. It's not until you find yourself in a challenging situation and you are able to manage it so differently compared to in the past, that you realise the work you have … Continue reading How to tell if it’s working? →

Open to exploring

Who you are does not have to be so rigid that you force yourself to be defined by ticking several boxes and sticking to them. You can be one thing today and another thing next week. So often we go through life trying to find ourselves and figure out who we are so that we … Continue reading Open to exploring →

That’s not like you

We grow up carrying around certain beliefs, ideas and perspectives. We have things that we tell ourselves we wouldn't do. It could be anything from playing sports to wearing false nails, hiring a cleaner to watching stand up comedy. These aspects help shape the kind of people we end up becoming. However, sometimes we reach … Continue reading That’s not like you →

Delays and daydreams

I believe that it is possible to attain the things you want in you life, the kind of things that you daydream about. I believe this because it's happened in my own life. However, what I often find is that there's a delay but the delay isn't necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes we need to … Continue reading Delays and daydreams →

Rewriting the memory

When we have negative experiences associated with certain events we tend to avoid those experiences moving forward. I think that's a totally normal reaction because of course you don't want to keep having bad experiences. However, what can end up happening is that you limit yourself in the future. You avoid things that will help … Continue reading Rewriting the memory →

Feelings of freedom

As we go through life we develop ideas of what freedom would look like or feel like for ourselves. It may come from how you were brought up, the career aspirations you have or maybe just how you feel in particular moments. If the idea of feeling liberated matters to you then it's worth while … Continue reading Feelings of freedom →

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 →

Don’t try, just be

I think it could be said that one of the biggest things that holds us back is that we try to hard to be a specific type of way or create a certain kind of thing. Often our efforts go into emulating what we have already seen done and the way that we think or … Continue reading Don’t try, just be →

Start valuing your voice

The way that you show up in the world is likely to be imapcted by your confidence and self esteem. Perhaps you play small and avoid doing things that will draw any attention even though you have ideas and opinions to share. But the reason you don't share your ideas is because you don't value … Continue reading Start valuing your voice →

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.
