It’s the time of year for goals and achievements and changing your life. Everyone is motivated because of the new year, therefore you’re surrounded by people setting and smashing goals. What do you do? You feel jealous. You feel anxious. What am I doing compared? Oh god, they have achieved X already, what have I… Continue reading Choosing not to participate

The Power of Asking Why
This isn’t a new concept for me or for you. I’m sure I’ve spoken about this on my blog or podcast before, but perhaps not in this depth. Why is a great question, right? I means it’s annoying when kids go “why? Why? Why?” to everything you say, but it’s actually a brilliant way of… Continue reading The Power of Asking Why
Extremes and Consistency
Hi all, I hope you're enjoying your start to 2022. For myself, it's been a mixture of tiring, challenging, and enjoyable! That's life; a mixture, a balance, a melting pot of all things interwoven together to be experienced. And this introduces the concept of today's post. Extremes and consistency. I was speaking to my partner… Continue reading Extremes and Consistency
A letter to my writing buddies
You’ll get there one day. I can’t tell you where “there” is but your version of it is coming, as long as you don’t give up, that is. Everything you write might seem wrong right now. That’s okay. Or maybe you’re not really writing; it’s just notes here and there. A jumble of chaos. That’s… Continue reading A letter to my writing buddies
Don’t be blinded by the negative
Why don’t we allow ourselves to be happy? Why do we steal from ourselves so often? I cried during yoga the other day because a thought came into my head and overwhelmed me: Good things are allowed to happen to me… Why did this bring me to tears? Why did this resonate so much? Because… Continue reading Don’t be blinded by the negative

List of 10 things that keep my mental health away from the edge
Today I wanted to share with you a list of things that work for me to keep my mental health from getting too bad. Now I purposely didn’t say that these make my mental health “good” or anything because doing these things doesn’t necessarily mean I will feel great. Or that I will never have… Continue reading List of 10 things that keep my mental health away from the edge
Is Passivity The Problem?
There is nothing wrong with anything, really (apart from illegal things and things that are evil or unjust or horrible, but you know what I mean). Eating junk food is fine in small doses. Watching TV reruns is fine, at times. Sex with a stranger; lying; skipping a workout; wearing joggers all week... I think… Continue reading Is Passivity The Problem?
Stolen Voices – poem
There must come a time When the silenced speak Voices break free from locked boxes Kept underneath a royal bed. The Little Mermaid lullaby lied Teaching girls to sell their voice For a promised Prince and Immortal soul. Funny - It was always the voice That made us eternal Yet cracked hands of crones Claw… Continue reading Stolen Voices – poem
“Self-help” books I’ve read and enjoyed
These books aren’t all categorised as self-help and I think I agree with Leena Norms on YouTube who said that the genre “self-help” is a little confusing anyway. It’s not really self-help, it’s getting advice and help from someone else! And then using it yourself, which is what we do with anything we read, right?… Continue reading “Self-help” books I’ve read and enjoyed
