It's so interesting that often in different types of relationships we hold back instead from just being ourselves and allowing things to work out the way they're meant to be. You make a conscious effort to be less of yourself instead of just modelling what you want from your relationships. This choice leaves you feeling … Continue reading What do you want in relationships?

Bad habits
There could be habits you have that you have carried with you thorough your life for so long that you aren't even aware the impact they have on your life. Perhaps, you assume that those habits are 'just the way you are' rather than them being something you could change. Sticking with what you know … Continue reading Bad habits
Getting drawn in
Some people enjoy arguing. They love it, it fuels them and they will seek it out. 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
Finding a solution to the problem
When it comes to solving problems, there is a big difference between finding a solution and finding a solution to the problem. When we're simply just finding a solution we tend to come up with things that are short-term, quick to do and don't really address the issue. Lets take the example of being upset … Continue reading Finding a solution to the problem
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

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
Knowing why
When it comes to future plans we often forget the reason behind the paths we choose. We know what we want, when we want it and what it will take but we forget the reason why we want it. A common example is career paths. A person may want to become a nurse in the … Continue reading Knowing why
There is no right answer
I think this phrase rings true for a lot of what is going on in the world right now. It's easy to say that if you were in the shoes of another you would make better choices. But the truth is you don't really know because you aren't in that position. Furthermore, often when people … Continue reading There is no right answer
