As I’m writing this post, I can’t remember specifically what inspired this thought, but I have a feeling it was either a TED Talk video or a podcast. Either way, what matters most is the lesson behind it – although I do believe in sharing your sources when you can! – so I’m going to… Read more

I wanted to call this post ‘Sunday Scheming’ because that day marks the end of a week for me, and that’s usually when I get randomly inspired to change my whole life. However, it’s currently a bank holiday in England which means this week is having a later start than usual for most, but I’ve… Read more

Well, long time no write friends! I’ve just had a look and the last time I published anything on this blog was the end of last year -and I don’t really want to count that as a ‘proper post’ because it was just a quick message. I’ve thought about coming back and writing basically none… Read more

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… Read more

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… Read more

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’… Read more

I spoke about coping mechanisms in my most recent post, where I was addressing one particular bad habit that I’ve developed over the years. While I don’t want to get too repetitive here, I’m not quite finished with this topic of conversation. I’ve been thinking a lot about coping mechanisms, habits, and the things we… Read more

This post is entirely inspired by this video by Mrs Midwest, so I gotta give credit where it’s due. The title might sound a little aggressive and like something a traditional father who is still concerned with toxic masculinity would say, but I don’t mean it that way. In the video I’ve just mentioned, Mrs… Read more

Despite what the name suggests, as a perfectionist I find that I spend most of time being concerned with whether I’m doing something right, rather than doing it perfectly. I look for advice for all sorts of things, which is why I’m so obsessed with self-help and self-development. I like to see how other people… Read more

It’s been a while since I’ve written anything for my blog, and that kind of ties in with the title today. We’re often called to make boundaries for the sake of our mental and emotional health, sometimes even our physcial too. Setting boundaires is a loaded statement for me, as it’s something that makes me… Read more

If you read my post last night, you would know that I’ve been struggling with trying to control and manage a few things in my life recently. The past few weeks have felt as though all of my efforts have gone to waste because I’m not seeing any kind of results. Well, ranting and raving… Read more

Now is the perfect opportunity to work on yourself and I’m currently going through a process of healing. While there is a lot of work that’s going on in the background, and so many things that I still need to learn, I thought I’d share a ritual that’s been working for me. This is a… Read more

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… Read more

How are you supposed to live without an open heart? This is a question I’ve seen loads when reading self-help and exploring things more spiritual, but I never really paid it much mind. I mean, ‘open your heart’ – what does that actually mean? In case you’re interested in astrology, I’m a Pisces sun and… Read more

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… 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
