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 [...]
I made several bold statements at the end of last year regarding the changes I wanted to make to my life, health, and habits. Before the beginning of this year - doesn't that seem like a long time ago?! - I decided that I wanted to go on a no buy for the following 12 [...]
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 [...]
Going with the flow is something I say a lot, but I find it very hard to do in practice. I'm someone who likes to have a plan, to have things figured out, before I try them because I get too overwhelmed otherwise. While this mindset can be useful in some areas, my eyes are [...]

We can be our own worst critics. No matter how hard you work and how big you dream, chances are the gremlins in the back of your mind are always pulling you down. They will tell you that you're not good enough, that you can't do that, and sometimes that you're just plain stupid. Now [...]

We carry around these devices that are constantly making noise - both literal and metaphysical - and with every tone we take in [...]
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 [...]
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 genuinely believe [...]
