I'm a collector of words, phrases, and quotes. Perhaps it comes from being a writer myself, or the fact I'm a bit of a bookworm, but whatever the reason may be I have various notebooks, apps, and other paraphernalia dedicated to scraps of sentences around me. One such place where I collect quote is in [...]
Before I go into this post, I just want to preface it by saying that I’m writing this in a low mood state. Writing is cathartic and I’m hoping by the end of this post I’ll feel lighter, but just to warn you, in case you too are in a dark place right now, that [...]
I've said this before, and no doubt I'll say it again, but it's hard to get what you want when you don't ask for it. You know by now that I'm exploring spirituality and getting into setting intentions, manifestation, and generally bettering myself through new means. A common thread within this field is asking for [...]
A lot of the posts I publish on this blog are written in 'high' moments - as in, the times when I am feeling good about myself, motivation about my ideas and plans, or perhaps after some form of success. While I do feel like I get good content out of these moments, I also [...]
As someone who runs this self-development blog, I'm acutely aware of the way that my content might make someone feel. I write about self-development and self-improvement so much because it is an area that I'm obsessed with. As I've mentioned before, most of the content I consume in my free time is within this field [...]
I am quite an opinionated person. This was something that I prided myself on when I was younger, as I thought it made me sound 'strong'. Really, it just made me sound like a dickhead. Now there's nothing wrong with expressing your opinions, obviously. But have you ever met someone who explicitly calls themselves 'opinionated' [...]
We live in a noisy world. No matter where we turn we're forced to deal with messages, news, advertisements, other people's opinions, judgements, and so on coming at us from every direction. We carry around these devices that are constantly making noise - both literal and metaphysical - and with every tone we take in [...]
If you're reading this post right now, then there's a good chance that - like me - you're into self-development and making changes to your life. While this is all well and good, there comes a point in all journeys and all stages of the journey where you begin to feel stuck. Perhaps you haven't [...]
As you know, I'm someone who is obsessed with self-improvement - it's the basis for this entire website after all! I've recently been having some revelations when it comes to my thoughts and behaviours, which has made things very interesting when it comes to the work I want to do on myself. I genuinely believe [...]
You know that iconic scene from Love Actually - one of the best films of all time, don't fight me on it - about Joni Mitchell? Emma Thompson's character is listening to Joni Mitchell while wrapping presents, and is explaining to her bastard of a husband (no, I'll never get over it) played by Alan [...]
