Worth the effort

I recently tried something different and it didn't go to plan. For a short moment I felt annoyed that I'd wasted my efforts but then I caught myself. Was it not worth the effort to try? Instead of getting carried away with an unhelpful story, I could choose to look at things differently. So, I … Continue reading Worth the effort →

Commitment to the writing practise

My favourite thing about this blog is that I'm driven by my commitment to writing more than anything else. If I write something that gets 1 view, I'm just glad that I committed to writing something another day. If I write something that gets 102 views, I'm glad that a bigger number of people got … Continue reading Commitment to the writing practise →

Talking when it’s easy

It's easy to talk about the weather, your favourite TV show, what you had for dinner and what you got up to at the weekend. But often when it comes to topics like mental health, fears and struggles suddenly talking becomes difficult. Part of why it's so difficult is because we don't do it enough. … Continue reading Talking when it’s easy →

Daily blogging for the reader

I think it's fair to say that more often than not, a daily blog is for the writer. The reason behind this is almost nobody reads a daily blog every single day. There are occasional readers and regular readers but it's rare to find someone who doesn't miss a post. Posting so often allows me … Continue reading Daily blogging for the reader →

Learning to open up

One of the biggest reasons to open up is that it helps you realise that you aren't alone. So often we live our lives as if we are the only one who has faced a difficulty, felt lonely, been rejected, felt lost or was unhappy with the way they looked. We end up holding it … Continue reading Learning to open up →

  • Worth looking back on
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.
