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 →

This is why you end up frustrated with how the person responds, you didn't get the answer … Continue reading If you have to ask… →

Alone time

Something really interesting happens when you start spending time alone. You learn a lot about yourself. You learn what you like to do, how you like to spend your time, what brings you joy, what fulfills you and so much more outside of your relationships with other people. So often we learn about ourselves in … Continue reading Alone time →

Starting and finishing

Sometimes one is much easier than the other. There is always always excitement in the beginning, in that process of bringing an idea to life. But then as things start to develop your interest wanes and finishing becomes an uphill battle. There is none of that ease and excitement that you had in the beginning, … Continue reading Starting and finishing →

Fear and change

When it comes to change, big change in particular you might not ever feel ready. However, that doesn't mean you should simply stick with what you know. The reason you don't feel ready is because change means unfamiliar territory, something we often shy away from. We scare ourselves with 101 'what ifs' instead of believing … Continue reading Fear and change →

So much more than the room you’re sitting in

When you're a kid, not learning in a lesson or not being interetsed in the subject or topic being taught can happen when you don't like the person teaching you. At a young age some people totally rule out subjects like Math, Science, History or Art simple because of who the information is coming from. … Continue reading So much more than the room you’re sitting in →

Why learning something new is a great idea

Last year there were lots of discussions, tweets and conversations about how we're in a pandemic, you don't need to do xyz it's totally okay if all you did was survive. The thing is, of course you don't need to do anything new or different with your time. That statement has always been true. But … Continue reading Why learning something new is a great idea →

Seeking information

We now have access to more information than we'll ever use and can ever truly comprehend. You might have grown up where the only way to learn about something was if you went to the library, watched a documentary on TV or even asked someone you know. If you want to learn about something nowadays, … Continue reading Seeking information →

Learned behaviour

I'm really into self-observation and learning about why we are the way we are. I find behaviour to be quite fascinating. I've learnt that often how we act is down to the people we surround ourselves with and the people we allow ourselves to be influenced by rather than just something ingrained within. It might … Continue reading Learned behaviour →

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.
