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 [...]
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 [...]
May 4: ApologiesSaying 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 has [...]
May 28: PraiseIsn'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 work. [...]
May 28: ChaosWe 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 my [...]
May 27: CirclesAs 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 just [...]
May 26: Jekyll + HydeLiving 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 book [...]
May 9: Umbrella What an appropriate day to write this post! It is so cold, grey and rainy here in the North East that if I venture outside I will certainly need an umbrella. I'm very unlucky with umbrellas - I've lost count of the number of brollies that have broken, bent inside out or [...]
May 6: Weight I don't think it will be a surprise to anyone that I am concerned about my weight. The fact that women are concerned about the way they look is something that we just accept as normal and, dare I say it, even expect. Think about how you, your friends or the media [...]
I've talked about self-care a lot on this blog because it genuinely is a topic that means so much to me. Only a few years ago we didn't even have a sufficient term for being kind to ourselves, which made talking about this topic pretty tricky. Thanks to other wonderful bloggers, influencers and social media [...]
