A comment I sometimes get from those who follow me online is how consistent I am with my content. It’s worth saying here that creating content, whether it’s a blog post, a newsletter or even an instagram story, can be.... a lot. Individually it may not seem like much, but pull all of the different … Continue reading How to stay consistent with your content
I can’t remember exactly when I started tracking my mood, but at a guess I would say about 3-4 years ago. It would have been when I first bought myself a Happiness Planner. This planner prompts you to track your mood and since then, regardless of what planner/journal I’m using (I’m currently using the Positive … Continue reading The benefits of mood tracking
It’s time to sprinkle a little creative writing into the blog with another monthly mindscape. These posts are sometimes my favourite ones to write. They give my mind free reign. I don’t need to think about takeaways, research or structure. I just find a photo on Instagram that makes me flush with excitement and let … Continue reading Monthly mindscape – spring
Well, this is a bit of an ominous title isn’t it? It’s an idea that’s been niggling at the back of my mind for a while now. It started when I listened to an episode of Sara Tasker’s podcast Hashtag Authentic where she interviewed Farrah Storr, editor of Cosmopolitan magazine and author of the book … Continue reading The discomfort of success
If you’re in the online business world, I’m sure you will have noticed that lots of people are becoming coaches. I knew, even when I launched my coaching services last year, that people might roll their eyes and think to themselves “not another coach.” And as it turns out, I was right! When I announced … Continue reading Why is everyone becoming a coach?
Recently at work a member of our team came across an article about how much someone spends on ‘wellness’ every month (it was £360) and it got me thinking about how much I spend on self-care and wellness. I’ve talked about my feelings towards the wellness industry before, and particularly how it’s so geared towards … Continue reading How much money I spend on self-care
In my last monthly mindscape post I commented that February would probably be ‘just as cold and dark as January, but feel a little more bearable’. Well, how wrong was I! We’re currently enjoying balmy temperatures of 17 degrees and beautiful sunshine-y days. Aside from the slight frown of concern about what this means for … Continue reading Monthly mindscape – Unfinished
Most of the time, I like to think I’m pretty good at recognising what makes me happy and joyful in life. I have certain activities that I know make me smile, but recently a sense of absolute pure joy crept up on me and caught me a little off-guard. In my day job I help … Continue reading Recognising (and following) joy
If you’re keen to take better care of yourself, but are finding it difficult, there may be a key ingredient missing. Motivation. Without this, it’s all too easy to let self-care tasks slip down the priorities list. I know for me, figuring out my motivation (and thinking broadly about it) was a game changer. It … Continue reading Finding your self-care motivator
When I talk about building self-belief, I often talk about building an ‘evidence bank’ and I realised recently that having a blog post dedicated to this (how to build one, when to use it etc.) could be super helpful. The idea of an evidence bank is to hold onto the positive things people say to … Continue reading How to build a self-belief evidence bank
