How many agreements have you made with yourself and others this week? Whether it's work commitments, social catch-ups, family obligations or all the internal agreements we make with ourselves on a daily, weekly and mostly Monday morning basis (this week I am definitely going to start that project, finish that thing, eat more veggies, get that weird mole checked out, not buy anything else MORE +
Happy
Hello. I am the Happiness Fairy. I’ve sprinkled happy dust on you.
Now smile dammit, this shit is expensive.
Imposter Syndrome – Who Do You Think You’re Fooling?
Have you ever felt that ANY minute now they are bound to work it out? That you aren't really worthy or deserving. It must be some weird quirk of fate, dumb luck or a mistake on their part. That despite some vague signs of competence, it's clear you will soon be discovered for the blatant fraud you obviously are. Same. I've tried so many different things in my life that the gentle hum of MORE +
Can You REALLY Change? The Problem With New Year’s Resolutions.
If you're anything like me, your new year's narrative is probably already in full swing. Yup, 2021. We are REALLY doing this. We are going to stop drinking (well, at least during the week). We are going to lose 10 pounds (and fit back into those jeans that have been winking at us for the last 4 years). We are going to finally learn how to meditate, get on top of our finances, eat more damn MORE +
The Confusing Truth About Good Habits.
When it comes to propelling oneself forward in life, good habits are the holy grail. Whether it be regular exercise, drinking enough water, getting enough sleep or saying ‘No’ to the nicotine monster, once an action is repeated enough it becomes unconscious. Which means we no longer need to rely on our unreliable mate 'motivation'. We just do it - Easily! The confusing (and slightly MORE +
How to Stop Dating The Wrong People.
When it comes to love, what is the dream case scenario? I'm guessing it's a hot friend, who is in equal parts confidante, cheerleader, partner in crime and epic shag. A warm hearted, witty individual with an agreeable friendship group and a financial trajectory that is, quite frankly, impressive. Someone who smells nice, dresses well, shares most of our hobbies/interests, is a surprisingly good MORE +
How To Be A Better Friend – No.467
Don't Use Gossip as a Bonding Tool This one is H-A-R-D. Because honestly! Is there anything more juicy and tempting than the illicit thrill of spreading goss? The self-important puff of putting someone else down? The shared squeal of mutual bitchiness? And, yes - there is no doubt it is a proven formula to fast track a friendship. But, at what cost? What's the problem? Gossip, MORE +
The ‘What Day of the Week is it?’ Guide to Getting Your Mojo Back – Part 1.
After a few months of swimming in the 'What's the Point?' pool of inertia, I feel it might be time to towel-dry ourselves off, my friend. There is only so long a girl can go on (and still feel good about herself) whilst wearing sweat pants every day. And, sure, don't get me wrong - day drinking is fun! But, for those of you who are feeling a little puffy and unmotivated, I thought I would MORE +
Best Life? Bugger That – Try This Instead.
The problem with all this self-help nonsense is that they make it sound so EASY. But, it's not. If it was, we would all be meditating on the daily, have gratitude journals positively bursting with appreciation, be raring to work out and spending our days being simultaneously mindful and productive. But, not all of us are. So, this post is for those people who have tried, who can MORE +
5 Things You Should Stop Saying.
Don't panic - I am not going to take your expletives away from you (because f*ck knows, 2020 deserves them). But, I am going to suggest that there are some words you'd be better off deleting - for the sake of your relationships, your reputation and your right not to be treated like a doormat. Let's start with 'Sorry!' Don't get me wrong - the occasional heartfelt 'sorry' has its place. 'I'm MORE +
How to Make Your Life Easier
Getting paid to do what you love? Finding your soul mate? Saying 'No' to a second helping of roast potatoes? These things are hard. But, not everything has to be. Here are a few of my favourite ways to soften, streamline and improve the way we do the day-to-day. SUBTRACT - Learning what you don't need and subtracting it accordingly is (probably)the fastest way to make your life MORE +
