I think the most successful people are those with routines that work for them. Routines are systems or habits for the things you need to do that are natural and scheduled so they become familiar and expected. This may seem boring to some, but routines work in our favour… Firstly, they take the decision-making out… Continue reading The Power of Routines

Chapter 28 – birthday reflection
This year feels important. 28 is an age that seems to mean so much to me and to society. It’s the age I will be graduating from university and so I am in a position to “use” my degree and progress post-university/study. 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. So the last thing I want to do is begin adding things into my life that I need to do or be or… Continue reading Maximise what you already do before you add more
What Causes Indecision?
One of the things I’ve been wrestling with lately is indecision. That’s it in a nutshell. Full of options and lacking the clarity or confidence to know which path to walk. Indecision leads to paralysis; decision fatigue and analysis paralysis from thinking too much and not taking action. It’s draining. It feels physically painful at… Continue reading What Causes Indecision?
Advice from a tattoo artist
In the summer of 2016, I decided to get a tattoo and dye my hair red on the same day. Bold moves! As I was getting my tattoo done, I spoke with the tattoo artist, as you do. I told him I was nervous about dyeing my hair. And he said something that has sat… Continue reading Advice from a tattoo artist
I want stories to tell
I realised today that I am not a writer. Yes, I write. Yes, I can write well at times. But I am not a writer. A writer, to me, sounds like someone who is an expert; or enjoys it; or is well-practiced in the wielding of words. Words are their tools. They’re a wordsmith. Maybe… Continue reading I want stories to tell
Biracial Hair Journey: the struggle is real
Is it just me, or do you feel like you hate your hair nearly every day? As a biracial woman (white and black Caribbean) I want to embrace my natural hair. To let my curls run free and wild. But I’m really struggling. They’re not… healthy? They’re not curly… enough? And I don’t know how… Continue reading Biracial Hair Journey: the struggle is real
How to Raise Your Vibe (confidence and joy)
We are halfway through 2022, ahhhhhh! At this time, I like to reflect on what worked and what didn't. To review my goals, make changes, and pat myself on the back when needed. I wanted a new focus for the second half of the year, especially as I'm really happy with the first half. I… Continue reading How to Raise Your Vibe (confidence and joy)
What I’ve learned about confidence
Am I a confident person? Yes and no. Things come along to tell me that yeah, actually, you are confident. But in the day-to-day, it doesn't really feel that way. And maybe that's just it. Confidence isn't some huge amazing thing that you either have or you don't. It ebbs and flows. There are moments… Continue reading What I’ve learned about confidence
Identity and Self-Awareness Questionnaire
I've recently been asking myself these questions, because I've not felt sure of myself. My confidence is waning. I haven't been sure of who I am and what I want. Also, I've only just emerged out into the world as an independent woman, so I'm still figuring it all out and being confident in saying… Continue reading Identity and Self-Awareness Questionnaire
