In the past I've written about being open to the possibilities of life. It starts with a mindset that is then followed by actions. The idea is that life is not so stiff and rigid like we can often end up being. There are infinite pathways, options and choices. And when you embrace that and … Continue reading It starts with a mindset

Open to new ideas
We often make grand plans for the kinds of life we want to live. Then we carry them with us and work towards them. These plans influence who we connect with, what we do in our spare time, how we spend our money and maybe even how we present ourselves to the world. But, sometimes … Continue reading Open to new ideas
Opening up
The idea of opening up is often used to refer to situations where perhaps you're going through something. You're advised to open up to allow people to do things like support, help and care for you. But I like to apply the idea of opening up to those that are closed off, in general. Perhaps … Continue reading Opening up
Open to change
Sometimes in life you can be so set on knowing yourself and figuring out who you are that you don't leave room for flexibility. I think it's important to find the balance between knowing yourself, whilst still remaining open to new things. You don't want to end up being rigid. However, the reason we close … Continue reading Open to change
Open to exploring
Who you are does not have to be so rigid that you force yourself to be defined by ticking several boxes and sticking to them. You can be one thing today and another thing next week. So often we go through life trying to find ourselves and figure out who we are so that we … Continue reading Open to exploring
Say it now
If something is bothering you, don't ignore it. Say it now. Of course there may be times when you need to process and check in with yourself to ensure you're not making a mountain out of a molehill but that won't always be necessary. Often, the reason we ignore things and don't speak up in … Continue reading Say it now
Becoming the real you
We can be so quick to find ourselves and figure ourselves out that we end up taking on traits, roles and habits to help us feel less lost. We then close ourselves off to experimentation and new ideas, it's too risky. In turn this leads to you becoming a person that isn't really you, it's … Continue reading Becoming the real you
What do you want in relationships?
It's so interesting that often in different types of relationships we hold back instead from just being ourselves and allowing things to work out the way they're meant to be. You make a conscious effort to be less of yourself instead of just modelling what you want from your relationships. This choice leaves you feeling … Continue reading What do you want in relationships?
The way things are
When you're so used to following the rules and simply doing things the way they're 'meant to be' done, it can be almost impossible to find your own flow. The way things are is a great starting point but if weeks, months or years later you find that things aren't working for you, then why … Continue reading The way things are
Room for flexibility
When you know what you want it's easy to end up being closed off to all else. After all, you don't want to get swept up in something that will veer you off path. But as much as it's important to know what you want, it's also important to allow some room for flexibility. Often … Continue reading Room for flexibility
