‘Changes that seem small and unimportant at first, will compound into remarkable results if you’re willing to stick with them for years.’

To bring about real change, you’ve got to ask yourself a different question? You’ve got to start your question with a different word? How!

There is enough time to slow down and notice what’s around you. Who knows what you’ve been missing!

What if you took all that effort you are spending to change, and channeled it into loving and accepting yourself as you are?

Often when we fail to make a distinction between the feeling and the action, we are reacting, usually without thought.

One of my values in conversation is to leave the other person’s self esteem intact, to not speak in a way that requires healing.

And yet we struggle with things that don’t feel good or aren’t working. Perhaps we feel there is some honour in the struggle.

I wait. I wait until things look more like they really are.

I love that feeling, especially if I can be patient enough to wait for it.

I’ve been appreciating the power of the pause, taking a breather between something that triggers me and my response.

‘When you ask for a big life, you cannot keep fighting for a smaller one to stay.’

Your best friend knows when you’re going things that are harming you Your heart knows it too.

Go ahead, make that decision in favour of your own self care. Chances are no one will notice.

You could focus on what is going good in your life.

Take your time to make sure your focus is on running towards something better.

Much of the damage we do to ourselves revolves around stress and anxiety and much of that comes from the thoughts in our heads.

I want to lead a more balanced life by making room for something other than work, duty and obligation.

While all is well now and I’m lucky it wasn’t much worse, the thing that sticks with me the most is help I received from strangers.
