Holding out for the good bit

If you're not willing to be patient you might find yourself missing out. So often we want everything now and the idea of having to wait makes us anxious. But remember that life is often like the quote, good things come to those who wait. It's not about making time for struggle or enduring something … Continue reading Holding out for the good bit →

Actions and feelings

Often we hesiste to take action because we're waiting on a feeling. For example, you hesitate to lead, speak up or contribute because you're waiting on confidence. And so, you wait and put things off hoping that in time the confidence will come. But the confidence may never come. You don't become more confident by … Continue reading Actions and feelings →

Say it now

If something is bothering you, don't ignore it. Say it now. Of course there may be times when you need to process and check in with yourself to ensure you're not making a mountain out of a molehill but that won't always be necessary. Often, the reason we ignore things and don't speak up in … Continue reading Say it now →

Willing to let things go

It is so important to be willing to let things go. Often in order to make room for the new we have to rid our lives of all that does not serve us. But even when we know what we need to do, we end up hesitating and putting off what needs to be done. … Continue reading Willing to let things go →

Don’t wait for magic

When people procrastinate they often tell themselves they are waiting until they are ready or waiting for a feeling that will push them to begin. But the truth is you just have to start.

There is no right answer

I think this phrase rings true for a lot of what is going on in the world right now. It's easy to say that if you were in the shoes of another you would make better choices. But the truth is you don't really know because you aren't in that position. Furthermore, often when people … Continue reading There is no right answer →

Waiting for a cue

Sometimes when there's something you want to say the easiest way to bring it up is to wait for a 'cue'. My dictionary defines a cue as 'An action or event that is a signal for somebody to do something'. In this case the thing to do is bring up a topic that is difficult … Continue reading Waiting for a cue →

Slowly but surely

Sometimes good things take time. But if you're not willing to wait you'll end up missing out. The lesson to learn is that you have to believe it can happen before it happens, instead of getting impatient. Trust that the thing you want is possible and slowly but surely it'll happen. Granted it can be … Continue reading Slowly but surely →

It's a new day, a new month, a new year and a new decade. If you've been waiting for the perfect time to begin, that time is now. Start the blog, writing the book, writing songs, writing poetry, take that class, visit that new city, initiate plans with that person you met recently, start that … Continue reading The perfect time to begin →

Don’t wait until you’re ready

Because you'll never be ready. When it comes to fear the mistake we often make is trying to wait for it to go away. It probably won't. But there you are saying no and putting things off because you think that by doing nothing the feeling will go away. Instead how about try leaning into that … Continue reading Don’t wait until you’re ready →

What I love about writing on thedailygemm is that I can look back and remember the inspiration behind certain posts. Sometimes writing is just a way for me to work through a difficult situation, instead of getting caught up in the moment, I put the focus on finding a solution or looking at things from a different perspective. Haven't been writing on this blog lately. Instead I've been going to a weekly writing class and working on articles for something new. I love it when my most popular posts are also some of my personal favourites. September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 I that I'm able to write things that will be helpful to read months or even years later. Top posts from May last year. When I write from personal experience and it resonates, I always think, this is for us. It's for me being able to express myself and something that you can relate to.
