I think one of the main reasons that old habits are hard to break is because we're used to them. When you've been doing something for a long time whether it's beneficial to your life or not, it can be difficult to just let it go. Even if you know it's not good for you, … Continue reading Hard to break

A chance of regression
When you're on a particular journey moving from an old way to something new, there is always a chance of regression.

Making time for good habits
I think most people have a list of at least a few things that they can do to improve their days. Some examples could be exercise, being out in nature, mediation, yoga, drinking water, herbal tea, solo dance party, listening to music, journaling or going for a walk. None of those things necessarily take a … Continue reading Making time for good habits
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.

At your best
At you're best you are joyful, kind, considerate, a good listener, focused, playful and caring.

It's so easy to attach the idea of who you are to you … Continue reading At your best

That could mean promoting your work on a Tik Tok account instead … Continue reading The best place to share your work
Procrastination and relying on stress
Anyone who regularly procrastinates will tell you that they want to do the thing but they just keep putting it off. Often when we procrastinate we justify it to ourselves by prioriting things with low urgency that still give us that good feeling of that comes from getting things done. We tell ourselves we'll start … Continue reading Procrastination and relying on stress
Caught in the act
Noticing your unhelpful habits as soon as they start to emerge is a skill worth learning. Instead of getting carried away and indulging in behaviour you're likely to regret, stop. Realise what you're doing, realise why and make the conscious choice not too continue. Before you get to that point you might find that you … Continue reading Caught in the act
