  • The current news has effected so many people in more ways than I think we can imagine. The murder of George Floyd is just one of the many examples we have seen over the past few years of police brutality and open racism. It is disgusting that this is not a one-off event and without Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • I’ve recently been exploring spirituality and intuition, and I have to say that I’m really happy to be on this journey right now. After spending time reading self-help books, listening to podcasts and following other people’s advice I’ve started to notice patterns within myself. The more I learn about myself, the more open I’m feeling Read more

  • 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 Read more

  • I haven’t wanted to write on this blog for a long time because I’ve disappointed myself. Like many others, I went into 2020 with goals and exciting plans for the year ahead – all of which have either disappeared or taken a backseat in the light of current events. One of these goals was my Read more

  • Happy New Year, readers! I hope you’ve had a fun and safe holiday season and are now ready to get into 2020. To kick things off for the new year, I thought I take things back to basics and talk about one of my favourite things – books. I try to read a lot as Read more

  • On this blog, I talk a lot of the plans I’m making for myself and the things I’m trying to change in my life. This is because these are the times when I feel most inspired. It’s also the times that I feel must be more interesting to other people. But recently, I’ve been having Read more

  • She’s back, overthinking and reflecting on her life once again! If you’ve been here before, then you know that overthinking it what I do best. But by recording and sharing what’s going on in my brain, sometimes we come to some decent conclusions. My latest thing is that I feel like I’m trying to go Read more

  • If you follow me on Instagram, then you will know that I’ve had quite a busy weekend. As someone who spends a lot of time at home, this weekend has been a bit wild because there have been a few celebrations going on. Although I don’t regret a second of it, I do think it’s Read more

  • 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

  • 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 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 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 28: Chaos We all know by now that I’m a worrier, a stress-head and a chronic overthinker. Although this does cause a lot of issues in my life, it has allowed me to develop some skills in the art of calming a chaos. As I always say on this blog, I’m still learning so Read more
