As someone who works from home, motivation is something I’m always looking for. I’m quite lucky, because I am pretty self-motivated – I always manage to get my work done and can be quite productive on the regular. But I know that not everyone is the same and I still suffer from a lack of Read more

If you have been to this blog recently, you will know that I’m kind of on a journey to change my life. That sounds very grand and dramatic, but it’s something I’m constantly doing. I’m currently trying to work on my health, my routine and my finances. Some people may call what I’m currently working on Read more

You know that feeling when you open a new notebook, slip into a freshly cleaned bed or start a new novel? I’m kind of hooked on it. It seems like I’m always saying that ‘tomorrow will be better’ or that ‘this time for real I’m going to get my act together’. In all honesty, I’m not that Read more

Even though I love nothing more than learning from other people’s progress, I’m getting tired of only ever seeing the results. Sure, it’s great to see progress and hear people’s advice but it’s always coming from the easy bit – the bit after all of the hard work has happened. Seeing this constantly on social Read more

If you follow me on Instagram, then you will know that I have just come back from a 10-day holiday with my family. It was the first summer holiday I’ve had in a few years and the break was very much appreciated! You know by now that one of my favourite things to do is Read more

If you managed to spend some time with me this past month, then you’ll know that I was taking part in a writing challenge called My, Myself And I. Here is my first post about the whole thing in case you have no idea what I’m talking about. This was the first writing challenge I Read more

May 31: Hope Friends, we have made it to the end of May! I cannot quite believe how fast this month has gone and I’m so proud of myself for making it through this challenge. I think hope is a very fitting word for a finale. Hope is something that I never used to feel during some pretty sad Read more

May 4: Apologies Saying sorry is really hard, don’t you think? There’s been so many times in my life where I’ve scrimped on my apologies, despite the fact I really hate it when other people do that. Learning what to say and how to act when you’re wrong is really difficult and it’s something that Read more

May 28: Praise Isn’t it awkward getting praise sometimes? I know, like a lot of people, that I often struggle to accept praise – especially when it really matters. Praise is something that is actually pretty important to me though. It’s a thing that stems from childhood, getting feedback and comments on my behaviour or Read more

May 27: Circles As you’ll know by now, I like to talk about myself a lot. I like to talk about my journey of self discovery and self growth because that’s what seems to be going on with me most of the time. I mentioned in a recent post, but it often feels like I’m Read more

May 26: Jekyll + Hyde Living with my brain sometimes feels like constantly being in a room with Jekyll and Hyde. And I know I’m not the only one who feels this way. It kinda pains me to say it – being the big bookworm that I am – but I actually haven’t read the Read more
-
May 24: Letters I used to write a lot of physical letters when I was younger. For a while, I was pen-palling with a couple of friends who lived in other parts of the country. Our letters would usually be handwritten – although later on in the game I did get excited about all of Read more

May 23: Kindness Now I know how important kindness is, but I don’t think I’d ever consider it to be strength of mine. Kindness is something that is normally associated with women, but it’s something that we can all offer and experience. I know that I have experienced kindness so many times in my life Read more

May 21: Space I said in the very first post for this challenge that I love space. I think it is super fascinating and sometimes overwhelming – but in a good way. Like I said in that last post, I am not scientific in anyway and instead like space simply as it is. I don’t Read more
