One of the easiest ways to identify if you have an issue with perfectionism in some way, shape or form is to look at how you react to when you make mistakes (or what feels like a mistake). How easily are you able to move on from the moment? How do you feel about or … Continue reading The fear of getting things wrong

You cannot not communicate
I've recently been pondering on thoughts about communication that I'll share as some journalling prompts: Who do you communicate best with and why? What stops you communicating when you don't feel good? Do you find it easier to communicate over the phone, in person or through written words? There's an NLP presupposition that goes you … Continue reading You cannot not communicate
An alternative you

Maybe you think you'd be pretty much the same and maybe you'd be a totally different person?

Why things might not be working out
Sometimes when we try something and it doesn't work out, we belive that we need to try harder. But sometimes things aren't working out because they aren't for us. And the lack of progress is a sign to let it go and do something else. However, when you're focused on everyone else who things have … Continue reading Why things might not be working out

And for those that are prone to anxiety that gap gets filled with pessimistic possibilities. Often once the feeling of anxiety has started to grow, asking questions feels too difficult … Continue reading Asking questions and eliminating uncertainty

You might find yourself with half a dozen great ideas and the thought of bringing each one to life is equally exciting. It can be difficult figuring out the best way to solve … Continue reading Picking the right project to pursue
How to avoid getting caught up in your feelings?
Around a month or so ago, an idea came to me that I found really useful. The idea was that situations that emotionally charge us are a reminder to focus on ourselves. Instead of getting caught up in the moment, feeling bad or worrying, take some time to check in with yourself. Perhaps you were … Continue reading How to avoid getting caught up in your feelings?
A mindful offload
If you're someone that likes to vent and offload I think it's important to be mindful. Think about things such as: How many times have I vented to this person about the same issue? Has anything changed or am I just repeating the same thing over and over again? Do I want help solving this … Continue reading A mindful offload
Willing to walk away
When it comes to asking for what you want, if you don't get it, what do you do next? Are you willing to walk away? I think that sometimes problems arise when we aren't willing to be firm. We say we want something, don't get it and then just continue on as normal. But I … Continue reading Willing to walk away
