Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are all so heavily integrated into our daily lives that to be without them (even just for a few hours) is difficult. Suddenly, you're having to figure out what to do with your time instead of spending it scrolling. Conversations that have been going for days or even weeks have now … Continue reading None of it matters as much you think it does

Put yourself first
People that are considerate of others, to the point of putting others before themselves often end up feeling let down. This occurs when they base their expectations of how others should be on themselves. But not everyone is as considerate as you might be. Not everyone thinks about how other people may be impacted. Sometimes … Continue reading Put yourself first
A change of heart
How you feel about something one day, might be totally different to how you feel a few months from now. It could be about food, a tv show or a hobby. Maybe you grew up reading a lot of fiction and you were the sort of person who felt like non-fiction wasn't for you. You … Continue reading A change of heart
Willing to walk away
When it comes to asking for what you want, if you don't get it, what do you do next? Are you willing to walk away? I think that sometimes problems arise when we aren't willing to be firm. We say we want something, don't get it and then just continue on as normal. But I … Continue reading Willing to walk away
Security over happiness
There's a choice to be made that sometimes ends up being a sacrifice. It's possible to have security and happiness but people often make choices that prioritise one over the other. They do this for reasons such as fear, a lack of self belief or because they have people relying on them. It becomes difficult … Continue reading Security over happiness
How to write 1001 blog posts
All you have to do is focus on each single post, one by one, day by day and suddenly you'll hit 100, 250, 500, 1000 and then 1001. If you miss a day or 2, you need to be willing to make it up to avoid falling behind so far that you're unable to catch … Continue reading How to write 1001 blog posts
If you think you might forget
Write it down. Sometimes when preparing to have particular types of conversations we spend a lot of time gathering information and planning what we want to say. We do this because we want to be prepared and we want things to run smoothly. Also, many of us have probably had situations where we got flustered … Continue reading If you think you might forget
Setting boundaries badly
I think a big reason why we sometimes avoid setting boundaries is because we think don't know how to do it. However, it turns out the setting boundaries is like everything else, getting good takes practice. And so like Zig Ziglar said 'anything worth doing is worth doing poorly until you can learn to do … Continue reading Setting boundaries badly
Disagreements aren’t a bad thing
It seems sometimes that we shy away from being in conversation or an environment with people that we disagree with. I've previously written that I think it's worth unfollowing people on social media that you disagree with. The reason for this is that on social media it's rare that people with differing opinions have a … Continue reading Disagreements aren’t a bad thing
Paying attention
It's important to pay attention to when things change. Doing this avoids being in a situation where you're pushing on towards something you may no longer be interested in. And the more you keep going the further you'll find yourself from where you'd probably rather be. Sometimes the way it goes is that we simply … Continue reading Paying attention
