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”
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. I finally ackowledged that I needed help and I took the step of reaching out for support which has been truly life changing. There were so many obstaclesContinue reading “End of Year 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”

Self compassion takes practice. If I made mistakes at work I would feel down about it for a whileContinue reading “Self Compassion”
Why compare?

I’ve struggled with comparing to people I’m friends with, people I work with and people I don’t know on Instagram or on T.V. Just think how much effort that takes. You could use that time to work onContinue reading “Why compare?”
Be the best version of YOU
For a long time I had been trying to improve myself, constantly comparing to others. While it can be a good thing to look to others as an inspiration it is not healthy to compare (even if you come across somewhat ‘better ‘) I try to start off my day with a positive mindset. WithContinue reading “Be the best version of YOU”
