Speak Kindly

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”

Self Care

Self care plays such an important role in our lives. I think we all know this.  I have been trying to care for myself more over the past year, but I didn’t quite realise what it truly meant. What is self care? I realised that self care to me was to really take time forContinue reading “Self Care”

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”

Motivation

Motivation can sometimes be hard to come by. I always find that I start the new year well and with a lot of motivation and enthusiasm; this tends to run out and then find it’s way back a little bit at some point. Last year, as previously mentioned, I learnt a lot about myself andContinue reading “Motivation”

End of Year Reflection

It has been one of the toughest years for me. I have felt very stong emotions that took over me and it was hard to stop it.

A New Journey

I feel like my current journey is possibly coming to an end. This can be very exciting and positive, but, it also comes with feelings of anxiety and sadness. This may sound rather confusing, but, like with a lot of things in life emotions can be a mixture. My discovery of this new journey enteringContinue reading “A New Journey”

February

I’m going to be posting about starting the new year in February. I think that despite talking about set backs being normal and okay I feel I have had one big set back recently that had a big impact on how I wanted to start my new year. I have read about people who haveContinue reading “February”

End of Year Reflection

I love looking at images of the night sky. I find it so calming and magical. This year, I feel, has been a year of immense growth. It has come with a lot of struggles and pain; more than I have felt in a long time. I felt so guilty replaying the intense emotions andContinue reading “End of Year Reflection”
