Who's to blame? Why is it happening? And most importantly, how do you break the cycle? I'm going to have … Continue reading Same old, same old

I work better when I’m busy
Often when we’re busy we’re overwhelmed and stressed. We find ourselves only hoping and wishing for things to slow down. We tell ourselves when I’m not so busy I’ll have more time for x, y and z. And we believe it too. But I often find that the busier I am the better I am … Continue reading I work better when I’m busy
Old favourites
We all have them. Cosy socks, worn out joggers and a stripy fleece (or maybe that's just me). I find that most people go back to old favourites be it an outfit combination, shoes, a book, movie, tv show, hairstyle, nail colour, a person or a place. We do it because as people we are … Continue reading Old favourites
Girl off-track
It happens to the best of us and sometimes it's what we need. Falling off-track serves as a necessary reminder of what we've learnt or how far we've come. Noticing that your habits and practices have dissolved and been replaced by your former unhelpful ways is just a sign to get yourself back on track. … Continue reading Girl off-track
A writers confidence
My writing habit was born from journaling which explains why I write with such confidence. I'm used to writing about my thoughts on life and things I've experienced, in fact I'm incredibly comfortable doing it. Granted a blog is more open than a journal but the practice is the same. It's been more than a … Continue reading A writers confidence
Raising the stakes and sharpening up
It's easy to get slack and fall off of all your useful practices. Often we don't even notice until days or weeks have gone by and then you think to yourself, I can't remember the last time I meditated. Once you fall off it can be hard to get back on track. You might even … Continue reading Raising the stakes and sharpening up

Sometimes we forget that a call to change may come as an accident, it'll come to you when you least expect it. Perhaps you forget to do something you normally do, or you suddenly you find yourself in a situation that you could have avoided if only you [INSERT THING HERE]. Sometimes we need a … Continue reading An accidental call for change
Easier done than said
Over the past month or so I've been thinking about how much time I spend on social media in comparison to how much I get out of it. The end result was logging out of twitter and a week or so later I deleted the app from my phone. The only time I use it … Continue reading Easier done than said
Telling stories and being heard
Growing up I had quite a few occasions where when I would try to speak up about something it was either dismissed or I could clearly tell that the other person wasn't listening. Through that I learnt to talk less and be more closed off. Recently, I realised that I had carried this childhood experience … Continue reading Telling stories and being heard
A daily practice
It always surprises me how at the same time as being inconsistent and undisciplined with some things, I manage to be the opposite in other areas. Writing, gratitude and drinking water are all daily practices that I manage to keep with a fair amount of ease. After a terrible nights sleep when I wake up … Continue reading A daily practice
