So often we cling to the familiarity of what we know. We cling so hard that we're unable to see any other option as viable. Even when what we know is no longer working, we resist change because that means we have to learn a new way of doing things and maybe change our perspective. … Continue reading Defending what you know

Uncharted territory
It's easy to stick with what you know especially when it works. But sometimes it's good to try something new, explore uncharted territory. Not just because what you're used to isn't working but because there's is so much out there. Trying new things help broaden your perspective. Plus, how can you talk about how great … Continue reading Uncharted territory
Who you think you are
For many people if they give it some thought they'll find that a large proportion of their character is based on who they think they are. Often those opinions are made at a young age without any real judgement. Yet you carry them with you into adulthood without even checking to see if your mind … Continue reading Who you think you are
Saying yes to exploration
The idea of exploring is one I don't think is valued enough. I don't mean travelling and exploring new countries or cities, I mean exploring self. Being able to know your own limits whilst also being able to put yourself out there and experience new things. It's so easy to stay within the remit of … Continue reading Saying yes to exploration
Giving the people what they want
A few days ago, I wrote a post that did well numbers wise and I knew it would. It was the kind of thing that people like to read whilst also being useful. I don't advocate for writing for people as you'll never find your own voice or style that way. But in my previous … Continue reading Giving the people what they want

Getting to know you
How exactly does one discover themselves? Through exploration, experimentation and being open to the unknown. If you live your life in the box of what you know, you may think that you know yourself. But actually, there is so much more of you to explore outside of that box. As much as there is 'the … Continue reading Getting to know you
Making a breakthrough
I've said it once and I'll say it again, talking helps. When used correctly it's an excellent tool for self exploration where you can walk away from conversations and gain insight into aspects of yourself you hadn't yet uncovered. The beauty of it is that you don't have to even need talking about the thing. … Continue reading Making a breakthrough
What happens when we remove worry from the equation of self?
Just as ‘you’re not you when you’re hungry’ is the same way you’re not you when you’re worried. A person that worries chronically may end up having sleep problems, self-harming and developing fidget habits like pulling at their hair. Those kinds of behaviours often end up overshadowing a persons core self and then others fall … Continue reading What happens when we remove worry from the equation of self?
