Around 5 years ago or whenever it was that bullet journals became all the range, habit trackers were an incredibly popular thing to have. You'd create a list of habits that you wanted to keep track of for the month and then put a cross in the box when you did it and left it … Continue reading Habit Trackers and finding motivation

Just be happy
You convince yourself that you have to work hard, overcome struggle and become something else in order to 'make it'. Then once you make it you'll 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
Daily blogging vs Journalling
I recently found myself journalling. It's something I did consistently for almost a decade. I stopped keeping a regular journal because it no longer served the purpose in my life that it did when I first started. These days I journal maybe once or twice a month. Sometimes just to let out frustration or get … Continue reading Daily blogging vs Journalling
Vulnerable creativity
A big part of creativity is being vulnerable. When the work you're producing is not at the level you're content with it may be because of one of 2 reasons. The first is that you're working in a medium that you're so used to that you need to dig deeper in order to produce something … Continue reading Vulnerable creativity
I, you and we
I'm a personal journal/diary writer. It's my trade of 10+ years and from doing that writing in first person using 'I' is something that comes naturally to me. But when writing in a space for other people to read I've started to realise that unless I'm writing for you to get to know me then … Continue reading I, you and we
Making notes, things to remember
I recently found a scrap of paper with a few sentences scrawled on it. I’d forgotten about this particular moment but as I read my words it all came flooding back. I’d written down some thoughts about a conversation I had with someone over lunch. It was from around 4 years ago which reminded me … Continue reading Making notes, things to remember
Even if it all falls apart
I hold the belief that even if it all falls apart, everything will always be okay. Which means that I often don't give things as much effort as I could or should because I'm aware that everything will be okay, no matter the outcome. When we take advantage of our circumstances life has this way … Continue reading Even if it all falls apart
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
From beginning to end (plus my favourite albums)
Music has played a significant part in my life from a young age. 90s and early 00s music brings back memories of childhood, growing up and my sisters. But it's only in the past couple of years that I've started listening to albums from beginning to end. Nothing compares to falling in love with an … Continue reading From beginning to end (plus my favourite albums)
Always a dreamer
I think I've always been a bit of a daydreamer but also someone who can spend long amounts of time in their own thoughts and their own company. I did that so freely as a child and it's only really as I got older that it felt like it became an issue. I fell into … Continue reading Always a dreamer
