Asking for what you want

I think that sometimes we're afraid to ask for what we want because we're afraid that we won't get it. And so, it seems easier to stay where we are and to stick with what we have right now than to seek more. If you don't believe that you can have it then what's the … Continue reading Asking for what you want →

Saying yes to what you want

The idea of saying yes to what you want is pretty simple yet somehow we often end up doing the opposite. We end up saying yes to things that we don't want. We have this idea in our mind of what we want, what we'll say yes to and what we're willing to accept. Then, … Continue reading Saying yes to what you want →

Yes or no questions

All decisions about whether or not you should do something come down to yes or no questions. Should I move to another city? Should I cut my hair short? Should I ask him out to dinner? The questions on their own are simple but when we add in context, feelings and fears we make it … Continue reading Yes or no questions →

A reason to say no

Sometimes you might find yourself saying yes to much more than you can handle. It's often for one of 2 reasons. The first reason is because you want to push yourself, test your limits and see what you're capable of. The other reason is for other people, you want to help and be seen as … Continue reading A reason to say no →

Small-scale spontaneity

So often we run from spontaneity because it doesn't allow us to have as much control as we'd like. We tell ourselves that it's the wrong decision or that we need to give it more thought or maybe just say no instead of yes.

I’d prefer the opposite

I'm posing the question of why we sometimes end up saying yes instead of no, or no instead of yes. It's related to fear, the root of a whole lotta life hassles. You say yes to something you don't want to do because you're a people pleaser, you don't want to disappoint the person and … Continue reading I’d prefer the opposite →

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.
