How to find your USP
When I look back at my personal and professional history, where my career is right now could not make more sense. It took some time and I flirted with several different career paths along the way, but I feel like I’ve found the right path for me and discovered my ‘USP’ (unique selling point). Although, when I really think about it - it isn’t a singular USP. It’s several different…
Listening to yourself: How to hear your intuition
Have you ever felt that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach, when something just feels… off. Whatever the situation is, whether it’s a job, a relationship or even a damn movie - it feels wrong and you know you need to get out of it. But then the thoughts start whirring - “What if I’m wrong?”, “How can I be sure?”, “I’m just going to give it a…
How to eat well (most of the time)
Did you notice that I didn’t call this post ‘how to eat healthy’? There’s a reason for that. No, I don’t have anything against the word healthy, but when it comes to food, I think “eating healthy” can be a surprisingly loaded term. What does it mean? Plant-based? Vegan? Clean? No carbs? All the carbs….? What one person considers ‘healthy’, another might consider lunacy. I propose instead that when it comes…
Creating a balanced exercise routine
There is a lot of information out there about exercise - a little too much in my opinion. I don’t know about you, but I find it pretty hard sifting through the masses of articles online talking about what the ‘right’ exercise routine is. So I stick to the three S’s. Sweat. Strengthen. Stretch. Like most things, when it comes to fitness, I think it should be all about balance.…
How to ease anxiety
Anxiety feels a bit like a buzzword these days. It seems like every Hollywood actor suffers from it and every other news article is about how stress/anxiety is affecting the nation. But, why is this? Is it just the media focussing on a buzzword? Or is it simply that people are more anxious? I think it’s the latter. I think fast living, social media and social pressures are making us…
How to start a yoga practice
I am not an exercise lover. Sure, I love the way it makes me feel after, but getting over that initial ‘urghhh I don’t wanna’ voice in my head is hard. If I could, I would laze in bed all day every day watching Grey’s Anatomy, reading magazines and eating all the chocolate. But apparently that is frowned upon… So instead, I do my best to exercise. Keeping a routine…
How to find happiness in every day
For my first ‘happiness’ post, I wanted to talk about what happiness means to me and how everyone can find joy in every day. I used to think happiness was this big ball of magic that was always on the horizon, always out of reach. I thought if I could just do X… or if Y happened… that would be it - I would be happy. It was an elusive creature I…
