I Was My Own Worst Enemy

Have you ever really stopped to think about where you are at in life? Often people jump from meeting to meeting or moment to moment, without so much as a pause. There is always a distraction or something or someone that wants your attention. How often do we stop and consider what we really want, not just in this moment but in the future, the next 5 years, 10 years or 30 years. I can remember a time when just thinking about the next 3 months was a challenge,

Every Day Used to Be Hard

I know that life isn’t meant to be easy, but I really used to struggle every day. I’d struggle to get out of bed every morning or go to work in a job I didn’t enjoy. I was shy and found it hard to meet new people. I wanted to be dating, but that was just too much to handle.

Once in a blue moon I’d get the courage to go on a date,

Stuck In A Rut?

How many times has the New Year rolled around and you’ve got so excited about all the awesome new habits you’ll do for the next year? You’ll start learning a new language, take dance lessons, start eating healthy, get a personal trainer, begin that course you’ve been talking about, work your butt off and get a raise, travel overseas and save 10% of your paycheck whilst having the relationship of your dreams with the perfect guy or girl.

I Used To Feel Empty Inside

I was lucky I guess. I had an amazing family growing up. I had everything. Well, not everything I ever wanted, we weren’t super rich, but we weren’t poor either. I grew up in the country. I had a yard to play in, I had enough clothes to wear, I could go to the movies and out bowling. We had dinner on the table every night. I had parents who loved me, and I had an older brother to teach me.

Facing A New Start In Life?

What do you do when things don’t go as expected? How do you pick yourself up again and start over? Sometimes we start over because we choose to, but sometimes it can be because things didn’t work out the way we thought they would. Whether it’s a relationship that’s ended, a job, school or uni, moving cities, changing gyms, or friends moving away and we want to start finding new people to hang out with.

Have you ever felt like you’re heading in the right direction towards your goals in your career? Or maybe you’re on your way to reaching the next level in your health, or in your relationship? And then BAM, something happens that prevents you from reaching that next level. Sometimes you don’t notice it straight away. Time passes and you look back and realise you’ve gotten to a certain point and hit a plateau. And if you were honest with yourself,

Who Am I Really?

‘Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get’. A quote made famous by the movie Forrest Gump. It sounds exciting but do you find that the opposite can also be true? Do you find yourself stuck in the same routine of getting up, going to work, going home, eating dinner, going to bed and then doing that over and over again? Is it getting a bit old? Has it been old for a while?

I Was Feeling Lost

How would you like to be cool with expressing exactly what you want to express… when you want to? I remember when I thought that I couldn’t. When I thought that I wasn’t good enough…

Afraid, uncertain, no backbone. Scared of what people thought of me. Making decisions and choices based on what other people would think, rather than what I actually wanted in my life. I did what I thought was right to try and fit in,

I Didn’t Know What To Do With My Life

Have you ever felt as though something was missing in your life but you couldn’t put your finger on what the problem was? Yep, a feeling in your gut that something is off and not quite right. So, you try for a while; weeks, months or maybe even years to figure out what that thing is – that could be the answer to whatever it is that you’re feeling is missing. I’ve been in this place before.
