Habits, comfort zones, procrastination whatever you want to all it, all keeps us stuck. Stuck doing the same thing over and over again. I found this quote incredibly compelling: “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone” I want to put it out there that every step counts, even the tiniest of changes, because every step takes you closer to …
Hands up, who’s guilty of this? As I juggle my competing priorities this year – work, home, studies, I’m constantly fighting the urge to justify my procrastination. Every task I have to do is necessary in my overall scheme, but when I am truly honest, I know I’m often picking one task over the other because I am procrastinating. Some food …
I had written a post about the part Carrots and Sticks plays in motivation, and this post has languished in my drafts folder for almost a year. It was complete, at least, I thought it was, but it has never seen light of day because I felt that something wasn’t quite right but I couldn’t put my finger on it. …
Another year comes rolling to an end, and another round of New Year’s Resolutions start flying about. Given the failure rates of New Year Resolutions, it is surprising how people still persist in making them. These resolutions are generally motivated by the desire for a fresh start. The prospect of a New Year being the magic wand that erases all …

Even if I fail, at least I tried. Do you think this statement is ok, or even a positive one? I have grave issues with it. I really don’t like it because to me, it’s a sign of someone who is already preparing for failure. Do not try, just do. The result is either as expected, less than expected, or …
Most people think that fear is what stops them from moving forward. Fear of the unknown. I read an article recently (“How to make big, bold, wildly exciting things happen in your life“) that made me question this, and to consider that comfort is in fact far more damaging than fear. I’ve had some interesting and in-depth conversations with a …
Are you returning to work and thinking about childcare for your child? Are you a working mother who has had children in childcare for a little while? Either way, there is a good chance that you may be feeling guilty. Rest assured, you are not alone. As if mothers don’t have enough guilt as it is, the childcare issue adds …
I remember my kids going through the toddler stage and how frustrating the word “no” was as they practised it, and practised diligently they did – over and over again! As annoying it is, most of us accept that it is a critical stage in a child’s development and it’s part of the process of learning independence and setting boundaries. …
