Creating a container for change

I first heard about this idea from Maryam Hasnaa in a class she taught. When a person dedicates themselves to a particular path, it more often than not requires significant change. An example of this could be taking space from friends that like to have nights out often. You need space from this because in … Continue reading Creating a container for change →

Something always has to give

Life is about balance. It's unlikely that you'll ever be able to pay equal attention to all things constantly. Instead you give more attention to different areas of your life when necessary. And that means that at certain points, some things will have to take a back seat. Perhaps when you're focusing more on work, … Continue reading Something always has to give →

But remember that life is often like the quote, good things come to those who wait. It's not about making time for struggle or enduring something … Continue reading Holding out for the good bit →

What matters most?

When it comes to what is important sometimes we confuse external pressures or expectations with what really matters to us personally. In doing so we end up focusing on and prioritising the wrong things. These external things could come from work, family or friends and they overwhelm us because we aren't clear about what we're … Continue reading What matters most? →

The misalignment of us

Most people that you choose to have in your life are chosen because your lives or you as people align in some way. It could be a similar taste in music, studying (or have studied) the same subjects, enjoying the same leisure activities, similar mindsets and worldviews or maybe you share the same aspirations. Whatever … Continue reading The misalignment of us →

What makes you happy?

How often do you take the time to stop and think about what makes you happy? I don't mean in relation to acheiveing goals, I mean just in life overall. Most of the time we over-estimate what brings us real joy, thinking that we need something grand or something that is difficult to obtain. In … Continue reading What makes you happy? →

Taking advantage of kindness

So lets say you're someone who has a habit of running late. And this has happened quite a few times with Friend A who is always super understanding about it. Perhaps the first time you were late you were super apologetic and felt bad but you were also glad your friend was understanding and didn't … Continue reading Taking advantage of kindness →

Choice and change

When you're comfortable with the way things are it can be difficult to make the choice to change. Most people have dreams of the kind of life that they want yet they allow their feelings of comfort to stand in the way. The inner monologue will say something like 'Why move to a new city, … Continue reading Choice and change →

What will you run to?

This time inside is no doubt forcing you to step away from somethings you'd rather run towards. But there's probably a few things you have space from right now that you don't want back in your life. It could be a job, people you spend time with or the places you used to go. Being … Continue reading What will you run to? →

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.
