Doing what helps

It's strange how sometimes you can find yourself resisting the very thing that you know will help. Maybe, it's because it feels like too much effort or maybe you've forgotten how much it might benefit you. It could be something as simple as going for a walk when you're feeling down. Perhaps, the thought of … Continue reading Doing what helps →

Perfection, perception and possibility

I once wrote that perfection is a falsehood. I stand by that statement. Perfection doesn't really exist becuase of 2 things: perception and possibility. What may seem perfect to one person will be viewed differently by another. Perceptions of others might end up changing your own view of your work. But perfection will never be … Continue reading Perfection, perception and possibility →

Overcoming a lack of confidence

So often we rely on being confident before we do something without knowing how we'll get there or how it will feel.

It's difficult to get that when you're in the situation which is why it is necessary to remove yourself. At first you … Continue reading Reasons to take space →

Not being good enough

I used to be the kind of person that would internalise everything. For example, if I didn't get the job I applied for it was because I wasn't good enough and not that they had 7 excellent candidates and only one role to fill so not everyone could be a winner. I could give countless … Continue reading Not being good enough →
