If something didn't work out the way you wanted and you feel bad about it and you can't seem to shake the feeling, what can you do to help yourself? I often find myself in a place of limbo trying to find balance between the more practical side of me and the part of me … Continue reading Finding the right perspective

Useless opinions
Sometimes we focus so much on how we are perceived that we don't give ourselves permission to just be. Everything you do, every aspect of your life is scrutinised through the lens of the others as you do your best to please and appease them. It could be the way that you dress, your hair, … Continue reading Useless opinions
When feeling low becomes the norm
I read something today that struck a chord with me. People were making judgements on how a person dealt with a something difficult that they felt unable to overcome. I write about overcoming challenges and finding solutions to difficult problems all the time. But it is so important to acknowledge that some challenges are much … Continue reading When feeling low becomes the norm
You can’t control the outcome
In a recent interaction, the response made me realise that despite carefully picking my words, there was a misunderstanding. I felt like I had over explained, dotted all the i's and crossed all the t's but somehow the other person didn't understand what I was trying to say. It had me stumped. In hindsight, it … Continue reading You can’t control the outcome
The fear of getting things wrong
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
A wonderful regression
A few days ago I created a Feedly account so that I could start following blogs again. It felt like a wonderful regression back to the days where blogging was the big thing and I would spend my weekday evenings but mainly Sunday mornings reading through new blog posts from all the sites I followed … Continue reading A wonderful regression
How to tell if it’s working?
When you start implementing things like therapy, meditation, journaling, EFT, personal growth, personal development, reading self help books or whatever else it might be, you'll get to a point where you're asking yourself if it's working and maybe if it ever will work. You might find yourself questioning whether dedicating, time, energy and money to … Continue reading How to tell if it’s working?
A good thing worth ending
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. The end of something that didn't reach it's full potential is like a kind of heartbreak. A thing with potential is the sort of thing you can convince yourself to stick at for much longer than is reasonable. You do this because you … Continue reading A good thing worth ending
The feeling not the thing
Whilst thinking about the idea of missing out on certain aspects of life, an interesting thought came to me. What if it's the feeling we missed out on, not the thing itself. Think about how 2 people can do something totally different but it brings up the same feeling. Or about how you can do … Continue reading The feeling not the thing
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
