Saying what you need

As much as you might know what you need and even want, doesn't mean anyone else does. But sometimes we forget that and we end up feeling frustrated. We end up then wondering why the other person won't say or do certain things. We take it personally and we get upset. However, more often than … Continue reading Saying what you need →

Responding and reacting

The way you would react when you're angry, upset, frustrated or annoyed is not the same way you'd respond when you're calm and relaxed. Of course this is fairly obvious, yet how many times have you allowed your feelings to get the better of you instead of simply taking some time. What ends up happening … Continue reading Responding and reacting →

It might be easy but it’s not helping

Right now is a difficult time for a lot of people. One of the easiest things you can do is read every article, keep up with live news updates online or on TV, scroll social media and panic.

It’s a two way thing

When someone doesn't want what you're offering. In a post called generous projection, I wrote about how when people try to help, they might just be projecting. I wrote it with a focus on the receiver but what about when you're the one trying to help. We often say things like I'm here if you wanna … Continue reading It’s a two way thing →

The push-back

Because every action has an equal and opposite reaction. I've been using the term push-back for a while. I use it to refer to how we react to negative/un-ideal circumstances.

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.
