Things to inspire or to motivate
What was the last fun thing you did? For me, it was going to the Taylor Swift Reputation concert with Kayla and my friend Shan. I had bought the concert tickets a year prior. Having been to 4 of her other concerts (Fearless, Speak Now, Red & 1989), there was no doubt I wouldn’t go […]
525,600 minutes. That’s how many minutes there are in a year. (If you sang that, you are a person after my own heart). When it comes to time, we have all been given the same amount. There are 1440 minutes every day. When you take out sleeping, and the time you spend at work, there […]
I work in customer service, so I deal with people every day. There are days where I have some lovely customers and we have a good chat. Then there are days where customers are so rude, that you just wish that you could just shove it up their hoo-ha, but have to be nice to them anyway. […]
When I was 15/16, I had a falling out with a “friend”. Let’s call her Lucy. Lucy and I lived around the corner from each other. Really we were friends by proxy. I realise that now. Being Lucy’s friend was hard work. I essentially always felt left out and there were moments where I was […]

My parents always told me that I was free to do whatever I wanted, but I was not free of the consequences of my decisions. Now that I’m a parent I’ve said the same thing to my kids. Yet, I tell my kids that their decisions affect not only them but those around them. We have […]
Do you remember the first time you had to give a public speech in front of your class? You properly felt really uncomfortable, nervous, scared and properly quite unsure of yourself. There is no denying that that’s how I would have felt. These feelings are ok and totally normal. Now think back to when you […]
Have you ever had one of those days where you just feel so unmotivated you don’t want to do anything, not even adult? Yeah, I’m hearing you, I’ve had a few of those days. Then there are days where the motivation hits you like the first coffee for the day, and everything is full steam […]
Every year on January 1st, the majority of the population will set New Year’s Resolutions. By February 1st, many have failed or given up. It’s not for lack of trying. Most people aren’t taught how to set goals, and then action them. You can read about goal setting here. When I set a goal, I […]
