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 [...]
It seems as though all of the posts I have made throughout this year are inspired by some kind of revelation I'm having about my life (read: crisis) With a lot of spare time on my hands and not a lot of outside stimulation, I've been overthinking and revaluating more than usual. If you read [...]
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' [...]
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 [...]
Good evening friends, I hope you are having a peaceful Sunday! I thought I'd try start a mini-series (once again) because I have a couple of things I wanted to talk about, and I thought this might be a nice conversation for us to have on a Sunday. I'm currently reading The Power of Now [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
You don't need me to tell you how weird 2020 has been so far, surely? For those of us in the UK, it seems that some kind of normalcy is desperately trying to come back to us since shops, pubs and restaurants have reopened. While this has not gone without it's faults, it was a [...]
