Easy conversations only

When we avoid having conversations that we consider to be hard, difficult or challenging we are also saying that we're only committed to easy conversations. You then find yourself in situations where you're avoiding saying what you really think or how you really feel because you want to keep things easy. However, this just leads … Continue reading Easy conversations only →

Easy and fulfilling

Those are 2 words I'd use to describe the things we often end up doing in our free time. We look at what requires the least effort and go with it. Then, once it's over, we don't feel great because we know we'd have been better off doing something else. In an ideal world things … Continue reading Easy and fulfilling →

Making assumptions

Assuming the worst is easy to do but rarely beneficial. Sometimes, most often when you're too inside your own head, you can end up assuming the worst. This then leads to action (or over-reaction) about something that wasn't even true in the first place. You're more than likely to end up regretting it, wishing you'd … Continue reading Making assumptions →

Unwanted offerings

Just becuase someone is offering something , doesnt mean you need to take it. It can happen one of two ways The first is someone extends an offering, you say no thank and continue to decline even if they keep pushing. The second option is you accept the offering because you don't want the other … Continue reading Unwanted offerings →

Backing down is easy

If you're in a situation that you anticipate could be challenging, you may feel like the best thing to do is back down. That way you no longer have to deal with things or worry about the outcome being far from ideal. But backing down can also mean that you aren't willing to stand up … Continue reading Backing down is easy →

Talk is easy

...the hard part is following through. When you end up being focused on the short term things like how liberated we'll feel when you say it or how the other person will think of you when they hear your words, you distract yourself from the long term. It's the long term that matters most, things … Continue reading Talk is easy →

Expectations of others

I think that quite often we expect that those with more money, more opportunities and more freedom then we have should be doing more simply because they have more. I think that's fine up to a point but it's also important to consider that each individual has their own desires. You could have access to … Continue reading Expectations of others →

How creatives find their flow

It's much easier than you might think. The creative flow or state of being inspired is often held in high regard. It's put on a pedestal as this magical thing. People often like to ask creatives about their process in order to understand how they are able to do what they do. But the thing … Continue reading How creatives find their flow →

Cheap, easy and accessible

Every once in a while I am reminded of the power of taking a walk in nature. It is calming, refreshing, relaxing and simple. If you haven't done it for a while, I'd recommend it. You'll often find that some of the most helpful things are the cheapest, easiest and most accessible. But instead we … Continue reading Cheap, easy and accessible →

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 →

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.
