Maintaining harmony

Don't be so caught up in maintaining harmony that you spend your life putting your needs aside to please and appease other people.

Optimists, Pessimists and Dreamers

I think that there are 2 kinds of dreamers. One is the optimist and the other is the pessimist. The optimist sees being a dreamer as a form of visualisation. That time spent with their head in the clouds is really just them being open to the possibilities of life and finding something that they … Continue reading Optimists, Pessimists and Dreamers →

It’s okay to get it wrong

When you first get comfortable with speaking up for yourself, you might take it to the extremes. In that moment you might be unknowingly responding on behalf of all the other times you didn't speak up so it could look like an over reaction. And perhaps in hindsight, you'd have done things differently. But, it's … Continue reading It’s okay to get it 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 →

When good things end

The popular quote 'all good things must come to an end' can feel like a dark cloud looming over a summers day. But good things ending isn't always a bad thing and it shouldn't nullify how great it was at the time. You have to find a way to close out the chapter with gratitude … Continue reading When good things end →

Learning difficult lessons

When you're going through the deep depths of working through it, some lessons are easier than others. Some lessons you accept and embrace but other lessons are a lot more challenging so you resist.You avoid doing the work the way you know that you should. And so the issue remains. There's a well known quote … Continue reading Learning difficult lessons →

All good things must come to an end

When you know that something is coming to an end it can be easy to lose momentum and to lose interest. It can feel pointless to muster vigour and enthusiasm when you know that in a few weeks everything will be over. But all good things must come to an end, it's something we've all … Continue reading All good things must come to an end →

Setting boundaries badly

I think a big reason why we sometimes avoid setting boundaries is because we think don't know how to do it. However, it turns out the setting boundaries is like everything else, getting good takes practice. And so like Zig Ziglar said 'anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you can learn to do … Continue reading Setting boundaries badly →

I wrote this for you

You know the feeling you get when you read something that resonates. You feel seen, you feel heard and you feel connected, often to a complete stranger. But this person was able to form something that encapsulates a feeling or a moment from your life. It can often serve as a reminder that we're not … Continue reading I wrote this for you →

Understanding numbers

When I was 16 or 17 years old sat in sociology class i remember my tutor saying 'There are lies, damn lies and statistics'. I felt like I understood it at the time but my understanding has definitely grown over time with experience. The thing with numbers is we associate them with mathematics, facts and … Continue reading Understanding numbers →

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.
