One of the best words of advice I have heard (which you most likely have too) is to speak to and treat yourself like a dear friend. Let’s say you make a mistake at work, you then start feeling down and ashamed. You start thinking, “why do I always mess things up?” You start spiralingContinue reading “Speak Kindly”

Going in Circles
I do find myself going round in circles in my head. I feel like I end up repeating patterns of negative thinking and behaviour as some of the same issues keep occurring. I’m not saying I can get rid of all issues altogether as issues arise in life, but if the same issues keep comingContinue reading “Going in Circles”
End of Week Reflection
Usually at the end of the year we like to reflect upon our achievements and failures in order to make new goals for the new year. This is what I often do at the end of the year so that I can aim for a positive start to the new year. Sometimes, we may alsoContinue reading “End of Week Reflection”
Time
Time seems to get away with us. We seem to think we are able to cram in as much as possible in the days that we have and before we know it that time has gone. Due to some much needed advice and help I realised how little time I was dedicating to relaxing andContinue reading “Time”
A Bad Day
Some days are just bad days. There are times when you can turn them around and make them good days, but, usually a bad day is just a bad day. Recently, for me, was what I consider to be a bad day. Nothing in particular made it bad which was the strange thing. I feelContinue reading “A Bad Day”
“New Year, New Me” Pressure
When it comes to the new year I do feel it’s a good excuse to start fresh, to reinvent. You can look back at the previous year to say “I’m going to make some changes”. This is all great and I find it motivational to have a new year and new goals, but, I findContinue reading ““New Year, New Me” Pressure”
Train your Thoughts
Sometimes when we think we are so wrapped up in believing everything that our mind is telling us that it’s hard to think any other way. It can be seen as a negative habit because, often, we can believe more of our negative thoughts rather than our positive ones. It is easy to do. IContinue reading “Train your Thoughts”
You need Negative Feelings
This probably sounds contradictory to talk about embracing negative feelings on a blog about positivity. I think it’s important to have negative feelings from time to time so that we can understand them and also learn from them. It is inevitable that you’re going to have negative feelings. It cannot be avoided. When I writeContinue reading “You need Negative Feelings”
Bounce Back
It can be hard to simply forget and feel fine about a situation. If we could all do that then life would be easy! I have often dwelled on situations because of how I reacted to them and that my ‘bounce back rate’ was pretty slow. When I talk about ‘bounce back rate’ I amContinue reading “Bounce Back”
Self Compassion
There’s nothing wrong with having some self compassion. It took me a long time to stop beating myself up for not being a certain way. As I have mentioned before; comparing is a waste of time. Self compassion takes practice. If I made mistakes at work I would feel down about it for a whileContinue reading “Self Compassion”
