  • The wrong time to apologise
  • A challenge worth accepting
I was first introduced to Neuro-Linguistic Programming around 6 years ago when I had a conversation with a life coach. I'd never even heard of a life coach prior to this but I remember her speaking about NLP and I was really intrigued. A little while after I bought this book. It opened me up to different ways of thinking, some of which felt quite radical at the time but are very normal to me now. After almost 3 years of daily blogging, here are a few things that I found helpful. Some thoughts I had after a week of struggling to write. For me, looking back on old poems is like looking through a photo album. I write poems about life but also the people that have impacted me in some way. Years later, I can look back and remember those moments which I think is pretty special. The poems I have are from the past 8 years and so some of the people I've written about are no longer in my life but I love that I'm able to capture the memories in words. So this is something quite relevant in my life at the moment. We often confuse what we're thinking about with what's important which is only sometimes true. You might find yourself consumed with thoughts of a time you felt embarrassed and end up thinking that it really matters. If you're not sure whether something is important, ask yourself whether it matters in the grand scheme of life and death. More often than not, the answer is no. We often put so much pressure on ourselves to be simple and live simple lives (in terms of having everything go to plan). The truth is people are complex and so is life but that isn't a bad thing. Some thoughts on overcoming your fears. Recently I've found myself a little less consistent with some of my daily habits. Sometimes when you're stressed or busy it can seem as though you don't have time. But when I really think about it the issue isn't time, the issue is slowing down and remembering to be a little more conscious of how I spend my time. Swipe across for some of my thoughts on fear. I wrote this post over a year ago but it's a timeless piece that can be read at any time. You can find this piece and hundreds more on my website thedailygemm.com
