That thing you’re avoiding

How is it we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed and consumed small simple tasks? Something that could take 10 minutes becomes challenging and scary. So, you put it off and tell yourself that you'll do it later, that you'll do it when you feel less afraid or less overwhelmed. Meanwhile the feelings won't go away … Continue reading That thing you’re avoiding →

Why you’re not inspired to write

Often when it comes to periods where I'm less inspired to write, the problem has nothing to do with writing.

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.
