It's one thing to know it happens but to accept it is a whole other story. You might find that you've become so comfortable with the way things are that the thought of them being any different is just too much to bear. But change is part of life and no matter how much you … Continue reading Accepting change

How to get better at receiving feedback?
Getting feedback can be terrifying. Even if you have confidence in what you do the last thing you want is for someone else to come along and tell you that actually what you're doing isn't as good as you think it is. I think feedback is difficult to take in because we act as if … Continue reading How to get better at receiving feedback?
In need of a push
I think it's fair to say that sometimes we'd rather be comfortable and complain than push ourselves. It's not a bad thing to be able to admit it, infact I think it's good to be able to pick up on these habits if you have them. A common example of where this occurs is the … Continue reading In need of a push
Sticking with what you know
The familiarity of what you know might be the thing that keeps you from exploring other ideas or options. Let's take the example of food. Imagine you go to a restaurant and order the duck. Now imagine the duck is incredibly delicious and so each time you go back, you order the same thing. You … Continue reading Sticking with what you know

What do you want in relationships?
It's so interesting that often in different types of relationships we hold back instead from just being ourselves and allowing things to work out the way they're meant to be. You make a conscious effort to be less of yourself instead of just modelling what you want from your relationships. This choice leaves you feeling … Continue reading What do you want in relationships?
Bad habits
There could be habits you have that you have carried with you thorough your life for so long that you aren't even aware the impact they have on your life. Perhaps, you assume that those habits are 'just the way you are' rather than them being something you could change. Sticking with what you know … Continue reading Bad habits
Accepting less
Why do people accept less than they truly desire? I think it comes from a lack of belief that you can attain the things that you want. Instead of being clear and saying no, you say yes because you don't believe there is any other choice. I think the fact that deep inside you know … Continue reading Accepting less
The way things are
When you're so used to following the rules and simply doing things the way they're 'meant to be' done, it can be almost impossible to find your own flow. The way things are is a great starting point but if weeks, months or years later you find that things aren't working for you, then why … Continue reading The way things are
