It is really easy to give advice in hindsight or just from an outsiders perspective. However, when you are in the midst of a personal challenge it can be difficult to know how to help yourself in the moment. It's something that takes time and practice. I've had plenty of times when I've felt stuck. … Continue reading 5 things to do for when you feel stuck

The last hurdle
Sometimes you can spend the whole year learning, growing and developing. It's gotten to the point where you've now changed. You no longer do the unhelpful things you used to do. It may have been saying you're okay with things that bother you, going out because you feel like you should and not because you … Continue reading The last hurdle
Making the most of the festive season
Merry Christmas dear reader. I hope you're having a wonderful day. The festive season is often the time of year that we remember to be grateful, spend time with people we love, disconnect from social media and slow down. Maybe you could carry these things with you into the new year and beyond.
Anxious
In a recent post I wrote about embracing awkward. Shortly after I realised that what I was referring to was anxiety, specifically social anxiety. I then got thinking about what being socially anxious looks like. I think when a person becomes aware of their own behaviour, they can end up amplifying it. You're sitting there … Continue reading Anxious
Reasons to unsubscribe from an email list
I recently unsubscribed from an email list. Afterwards, I got thinking about why I did it for that particular brand and why I'd do it in general. We all already get way too many emails and so an additional 5 a week from a company you bought hair products from once and don't plan to … Continue reading Reasons to unsubscribe from an email list
What happens when things don’t go as planned?
I think that many people would like to think that they are open to change. Whether or not this is true can be easily tested. See how they react to things not going how they wanted. It turns out many of us are actually only open to change within the parameters of getting some version … Continue reading What happens when things don’t go as planned?
Sending emails to your mailing list
When sending emails do it from a place of generosity. How will this benefit the receiver? As much as you may want to generate sales, bombarding a customer with emails is a poor tactic. It doesn't make a person want to read the emails let alone make a purchase but it might lead to them … Continue reading Sending emails to your mailing list
Playing catch up
When you've fallen behind, it can be difficult to catch up. You find yourself having to work double or triple time to get back to where you want (or need) to be. You might even find yourself questioning whether it's even worth it. Maybe instead of potentially over-working yourself, you should simply go at your … Continue reading Playing catch up
It might not be procrastination
Sometimes what we call procrastination is actually just making the choice not to do something. Just because you have a task to complete, doesn't mean you need to do it right away, maybe you don't feel like it. We often create this sense of urgency as though nothing can or should be done any later … Continue reading It might not be procrastination
Something to prove
Sometimes the only reason we choose to stick at something is because we have something to prove to ourselves. From the outside it might seem as though we're wasting time and money because the success isn't coming. From the inside we're just not willing to give up yet because we believe that somehow we can … Continue reading Something to prove
