Anyone who has tried to learn how to do a handstand, headstand, elbow stand or any other complex move of this sort knows that it’s important to learn how to fall. How to fall safely. Therefore I wanted to share with you the idea of learning how to fall figuratively, aka, learning how to fail.… Continue reading Learning how to fall

Equilibrium, the journey and self-actualisation
I’ve been very reflective lately and I think that’s partly because it’s nearly autumn which is a reflective time of year and partly because university is over. I’m introspective by nature but a lot of thoughts have been going through my mind and as usual, I feel I want to share some of those thoughts… Continue reading Equilibrium, the journey and self-actualisation
Romanticising your life
Something I want to try for the change in seasons is romanticising my life a bit more. Autumn and winter are very aesthetically pleasing and vibey times of year, and so I thought this was a perfect time to practice this idea. I have watched some content about “romanticising your life” but I want to… Continue reading Romanticising your life
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! Well, it’s because you need different things and different times and the secret third ingredient to success which is self-awareness/conscious attention. I love simplifying things. Self-mastery is… Continue reading How to master yourself and your life
How to Get the Perfect Body
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about fitness, physical health and my body. On my 28th birthday this April, I spent the morning in the gym for the first time in around 4 years. I wanted to start this new year/age as I meant to go on: looking after my physical body. I had a… Continue reading How to Get the Perfect Body
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
Burn out and a spring reset
I am burnt out. This means feeling tired, fatigued, low mood, exhausted, ruminating, worrying, unfocused, unmotivated. My last year of university has been difficult and trying to progress in my work has added to the pressure. On top of that, I’ve been overthinking about my age and what it means for me. 28 is a… Continue reading Burn out and a spring reset
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?
Be specific with your words when defining what you want
Words hold a lot of meaning but a lot of that meaning is personal. Yes, there is a dictionary definition for most words but how we understand them can be influenced by culture, upbringing, change, the times we live in, and context. I thought about this today because I was saying to myself that I… Continue reading Be specific with your words when defining what you want
