Turning things around

If things aren't going well, do you know how to make them better? The ability to turn things around is a great skill, I'd even go so far as to call it life-saving. But, if your life constantly needs to be turned around and made better, then perhaps you need to focus on what's causing … Continue reading Turning things around →

What happens when we speak up?

This year I learnt lots of important lessons about speaking up. When we speak up we're being our authentic selves instead of hiding who we are. When we speak up we give people that care about us the opportunity to support us. When we speak up it's how we express that we value and care … Continue reading What happens when we speak up? →

Encouraging compliments

Over a decade ago when I was in secondary school I had to do a spoken piece for one of my classes that I would be graded on. Luckily it was only in front of the teacher but I was still incredibly nervous. I wanted to be good at it and for it to go … Continue reading Encouraging compliments →

It’s okay to get it wrong

When you first get comfortable with speaking up for yourself, you might take it to the extremes. In that moment you might be unknowingly responding on behalf of all the other times you didn't speak up so it could look like an over reaction. And perhaps in hindsight, you'd have done things differently. But, it's … Continue reading It’s okay to get it wrong →

Learning to be yourself

It's a little bit like playing dress up. You try things out, see what works and feels most like you. You keep those things that feel best and put the rest aside. People can end up going decades without knowing what it's like to be themselves because their sense of self and what it means … Continue reading Learning to be yourself →

The wrong time to apologise

When you're in a situation where someone doesn't like what you said or how you feel, your instinct may be to apologise. This probably feels like the easiest way to resolve the issue and you might even tell yourself that next time you'll be more careful about what you say around this person to avoid … Continue reading The wrong time to apologise →

Changing my routine

Around 7 years ago I read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg and I loved it. It was during a period of deep learning after I became committed to understanding more about myself. A key point in the book was the concept of the habit loop. It was the idea that habits are made … Continue reading Changing my routine →

Exploring something new and avoiding regression

Sometimes when things change we spend time hoping and wishing for the the way things once were. But then when things return to the old way, it doesn't quite feel the way we thought it would. That's because you've changed and become accustomed to the new way and now the old way no longer fits. … Continue reading Exploring something new and avoiding regression →

Why things might not be working out

Sometimes when we try something and it doesn't work out, we belive that we need to try harder. But sometimes things aren't working out because they aren't for us. And the lack of progress is a sign to let it go and do something else. However, when you're focused on everyone else who things have … Continue reading Why things might not be working out →

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.
