When you're going difficult feelings (or feelings that feel difficult), it's vital to know what you need in order ton help yourself. As a teenager, I had no clue and so would just end up overwhelmed with days spent mulling over moments that weren't important in the grand scheme.

NLP changed me

When I first discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), it felt pretty radical. I was going through a difficult time and it helped to have something new to learn about that could in turn help me. I bought a book, read it and it changed my life. It wasn't so different that it felt weird or hard … Continue reading NLP changed me →

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed?

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? But more specifically, what do you do to support yourself when you feel overwhelmed? The answers might be exactly the same or perhaps you can't find an answer to the second question. Maybe when you're overwhelmed you go into an unconscious downward spiral. You might not know … Continue reading What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? →

Liking someone vs liking what they do

I think most of us have at least a few people that we find inspiring. Based on this we end up thinking that we like a person when in reality we just like what they do. Listening to the songs a person sings or watching the tvs and movies that they star in is not … Continue reading Liking someone vs liking what they do →

You and everybody else

When you're going through something uncomfortable, difficult or challenging it can be easy to forget that other people are experinecing something similar. Millions if not billions of people have gotten nervous before a job interview, been heartbroken or struggled with anxiety. It's not specific to you or personal to you, it just happens to be … Continue reading You and everybody else →

Free cocktails

There's a cocktail bar that offers you a free cocktail in exchange for a few personal details when you sign up to the mailing list. Your name, email and date of birth. I think it's interesting that we're willing to trade this information for a drink. That drink might cost around $13 which is of … Continue reading Free cocktails →

How to get better at receiving feedback?

Getting feedback can be terrifying. Even if you have confidence in what you do the last thing you want is for someone else to come along and tell you that actually what you're doing isn't as good as you think it is. I think feedback is difficult to take in because we act as if … Continue reading How to get better at receiving feedback? →

The consumer doesn’t care

The viewer or the consumer does not have to care about what went on behind the scenes. They are there for the art not the person and I think that in some cases that's the way it should be. In other cases, like on social media, the consumer is often there for the person just … Continue reading The consumer doesn’t care →

Good in the long run

There will always be things that you need to do but don't necessarily enjoy. Often it's these kinds of things that are good in the long run but in the moment, in the short run you'd rather not bother. If it's in a work environment you'll most likely get it done because you have have … Continue reading Good in the long run →

Creating a safe space

When it comes to opening up, do you know what you need in order to feel safe? A starting point is to ask yourself 'Will what I am about to say be handled with care?' I've learnt that people often hold their challenges dear. Even if it's not deeply affecting them now they still require … Continue reading Creating a safe space →

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.
