Sometimes we tell ourselves we want to change and that we want things to be different. Then, we resist every opportunity that comes our way. We turn down the chance to meet people with shared interests when we say we want to make new connections. We eat chocolate cake for breakfast when we say we … Continue reading Resisting change

Old ways
It might seem that right now there is little that you can do but revert to your old ways. If you've learnt self observation then perhaps you're used to your patterns of behaviour. Perhaps you can clearly map out and identify your old ways. And if you can do that then you can also choose … Continue reading Old ways
Disagreements aren’t a bad thing
It seems sometimes that we shy away from being in conversation or an environment with people that we disagree with. I've previously written that I think it's worth unfollowing people on social media that you disagree with. The reason for this is that on social media it's rare that people with differing opinions have a … Continue reading Disagreements aren’t a bad thing
A different kind of perfect
Think of something in your life that is not quite where you want it to be. Close your eyes and visualise waht it would be like if it was perfect. Most of us have things in our lives that we wish were at least a little bit different to how they are right now. We … Continue reading A different kind of perfect
Everything could be different
So often, we get deeply and strongly attached. We hope that things will remain as they are. We fear that change might bring in what we don't want and clear out what we do want. But, I like to believe that as wonderful and perfect as things might be right now, everything could be different … Continue reading Everything could be different

You'd be living a life made up of slightly or even totally different systems to the ones you currently know. That's something that may have crossed your mind multiple times. But, do you ever take it … Continue reading Made up systems

They're rarely interested in understanding other people or sharing what they know instead they want to dominate and they want to be right. You may find yourself often getting drawn in but by then it's too late, you've gotten … Continue reading Getting drawn in
Why I stopped listening to my favourite podcasts?
Over the past couple of months I have become more and more aware of all the thoughts and opinions of others that I consume each day. If you also use social media and regularly consume content such as podcasts or YouTube videos then chances are, you've felt it too. I had began to find that … Continue reading Why I stopped listening to my favourite podcasts?
Back to the old
At the beginning of this year I made some changes to this site. I wanted to make it more visually appealing, I wanted to make it better. And so I looked for inspiration, jotted down some ideas then got to work. The end result was something very far from what I'd stuck with for the … Continue reading Back to the old
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
