Small habits that lead to big changes

Change doesn’t happen all at once. It’s very rare that one action we take makes a lasting change in our life. Instead, change comes from the culmination of lots of small steps we take – often in the form of habits. Building habits that encourage growth is therefore key if we want to make a change.  When I say change here, I mean moving forward in creating the life you…

Dealing with uncertainty

Pretty much everyone on the planet is dealing with uncertainty right now. And while it’s for a pretty awful reason (the coronavirus pandemic) there is something comforting about the fact that we’re all in it together. I’ve seen a lot of ways humans are connecting with one another through their phone or laptop screens and it’s heartwarming. It doesn’t take away from the fear however. The fear of uncertainty. How…

Coping with change (an anxious girl’s guide)

A while ago I wrote about how new experiences shape our happiness and mentioned here that I struggle with change. Even though ultimately things pretty much always work out well, there’s this fear I have to battle with every time. Every time I’ve moved house, I’ve cried myself to sleep the first night.

How new experiences shape our happiness

If I had to pick a favourite film, it would probably be ‘Into the wild‘. The music, the writing and of course the incredible (and true) story of Christopher McCandless. One of my favourite quotes from this film is: “The core of man’s spirit comes from new experiences.” When I first watched the film and heard it, I felt like I’d been slapped in the face by some unknown spiritual…
