The power of letting go

When it comes to making things happen, we sometimes underestimate the power of letting things go. We have to make room in our lives for the things we want instead of holding on to the things we no longer need for the sake of nostalgia or fear of change. Sometimes, we feel like letting go … Continue reading The power of letting go →

It gets easier

Letting go can be scary, terrifying in fact. But, once you start doing it and especially if you start with something big, it gets a lot easier. This happens because you realise that you're completely fine without the thing you thought you needed. However, when you're caught up in the moment going back and forth … Continue reading It gets easier →

The power of taking space

It might feel easier to hold on but maybe what you really need to do is let go. Taking space is a powerful thing. When you spend time away from something you have developed an attachment to it gives you room to find clarity and to come back to yourself. So often you may find … Continue reading The power of taking space →

Moving forward

A major contributing factor to moving forward in life is being able to let things go. It could be physical possessions, people or memories and experiences. An easy example is if you tried something and it didn't work out. If you can't let go of the thing that didn't work you may find that it … Continue reading Moving forward →

Life changing habits: Let go of expectations

This used to be one of my worst habits. I'd do this thing where I'd place a lot of expectations on people that left no room for humanness and left me feeling disappointed. Once I realised that I did this I started making a conscious effort to stop. I've learnt how to catch myself in … Continue reading Life changing habits: Let go of expectations →

  • My most popular blog posts of 2022
Reading back through these posts I'm reminded of the situations that inspired me to write them. I love that my most popular post from February 2022 was my valentines day post. Hoping to be back posting a little bit more this year, starting with a roundup of my most popular posts from each month of 2022. I was first introduced to Neuro-Linguistic Programming around 6 years ago when I had a conversation with a life coach. I'd never even heard of a life coach prior to this but I remember her speaking about NLP and I was really intrigued. A little while after I bought this book. It opened me up to different ways of thinking, some of which felt quite radical at the time but are very normal to me now. After almost 3 years of daily blogging, here are a few things that I found helpful. Some thoughts I had after a week of struggling to write. For me, looking back on old poems is like looking through a photo album. I write poems about life but also the people that have impacted me in some way. Years later, I can look back and remember those moments which I think is pretty special. The poems I have are from the past 8 years and so some of the people I've written about are no longer in my life but I love that I'm able to capture the memories in words. So this is something quite relevant in my life at the moment. We often confuse what we're thinking about with what's important which is only sometimes true. You might find yourself consumed with thoughts of a time you felt embarrassed and end up thinking that it really matters. If you're not sure whether something is important, ask yourself whether it matters in the grand scheme of life and death. More often than not, the answer is no. We often put so much pressure on ourselves to be simple and live simple lives (in terms of having everything go to plan). The truth is people are complex and so is life but that isn't a bad thing.
