Set yourself free from needing people to understand you. If you’ve tried once and they don’t get it, allow them to be wrong. YOU don’t need to keep explaining yourself. You don’t need to convince them otherwise. You don’t need them to change their opinion. You just need to accept that sometimes people will be …
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how you can make a big difference for something you believe in without being a jerk. I like to think that I’m the sort of person who really stands up for what I believe in. But when the big issues come up in the media (and mostly social …
You’ve been officially “an adult” for a few years now. Your friends are starting to settle down in serious relationships and some are even having babies. You have this ideal picture that you’ll be a mum well before 30. So when he comes along and asks you out, of course you agree. He’s so masculine …
What are you putting off? What dreams and achievements and tasks do you just keep putting aside because everything else feels more important? Because everything else feels so damn hard, that you can’t even imagine pushing yourself that little bit harder? What if someone out there is waiting for you to do that thing? What …
I want to challenge you to find the truth in your thoughts. Oh, but all your thoughts are true, right? Nope. Your brain is one tricky little manipulator that makes you think your thoughts are true, but they’re not. In times of stress and anxiety (like now, with COVID-19), we tend to spiral. You hear …
I love wine. These days I don’t often drink too much in one go. It’s usually one glass in the evening, or occasionally I’ll have a second glass if I’m really letting my hair down! But even with such a moderate intake, I feel like it sometimes builds up in my system and I find …
It’s taken me a few weeks to process my thoughts on the crazy state of the world. Who would have thought that in our lifetime we would live through a pandemic that would restrict us to our homes, threaten our livelihoods, and take away our vulnerable loved ones? It’s like something from a sci-fi movie. …
I frikken LOVE staying in hotels. I don’t know what it is, but the excitement I feel when I’m heading to a hotel is ridiculous. I would gladly go on a holiday and not leave the hotel room. Well, except to let them refresh all the little bits and pieces and make my bed all …
For the last couple of years I’ve been setting myself a goal to write every day. All my life I’ve dreamed of being a writer, and one thing I know about a lot of professional writers is that they write every single day. They don’t just sit around and wait for inspiration to strike. They …
“You have to start taking responsibility,” my exasperated dad would cry to us kids when we were younger. We would roll our eyes and mutter “whatever” as we tried to skulk away from his complaints. Whether it was leaving our stuff lying around, avoiding our chores, or being general shit heads, “taking responsibility” seemed to …
