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.

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
