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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
