Enjoy your life

It could be considered strange that we know that life is finite yet we choose to focus so much on the things that bring us the least joy.

Just be happy

Perhaps it would be considered childish or silly but what if you could just enjoy life, right now. Is it possible that you can be joyful without … Continue reading Just be happy →

How do you feel?

How often do you honestly say how you feel when you don't feel particularly good? It's fairly easy to talk about how happy you are, how much you're looking forward to something or how great you feel.

Putting pressure on the outcome

In periods of uncertainty we often put an excessive amount of pressure on a particular outcome.

How it feels when it finally happens

When you've spent weeks, months or year working towards something it might feel strange when it finally happens. The thing is often when we want something as much as we think about getting it, we don't truly consider how it will actually feel.

  • Worth looking back on
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.
