Slower and intentional living: I don’t want to be pushing for the rest of my life
I’ve spent most of my adulthood so far, ten years, worrying and stressing and panicking. I’m 28 and all I desire right now is not to be bettering myself. I know I’ve built content around this very idea over many years, but that doesn’t feel right to me anymore. Not right now, anyway. Because whether… Continue reading Slower and intentional living: I don’t want to be pushing for the rest of my life

How to master yourself and your life
The secret to mastering yourself and your life is two things: routine and consistency alongside adaptation and flexibility. You may be thinking that these are two contrasting things!

It’s an age that often means settling down and thinking about children. It… Continue reading Chapter 28 – birthday reflection
Maximise what you already do before you add more
Around my birthday, I often think about my goals and who I am and how to be my best self. However, I’ve also recently been overwhelmed and realised that I’m stressed out.
