Letting things pile up
Little problems can suddenly become big problems. It is so important to address things in the moment instead of brushing them off, waiting or saying nothing. When you do this you'll find that days, weeks or even months later you're bringing stuff up that were (according to the other person) not an issue when they … Continue reading Letting things pile up
Getting what you want
As much as you may say you want certain things, you might not want them as much as you think you do. For example, wanting a dog but not wanting the extra responsibility required.

But you shouldn't treat yourself as though you don't matter, you matter just … Continue reading What matters most?
Saying yes to what you want
The idea of saying yes to what you want is pretty simple yet somehow we often end up doing the opposite. We end up saying yes to things that we don't want.
