    Episode 11: Learning and Evolving

    It has been a while since my last episode... I am now 20 and as they say, with age comes great wisdom. Today I explore how we are always learning and evolving, what I have learned and changed since moving back to England from my time away in Belgium. I talk about my ever-changing habits, referencing The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg - a book that has really benefitted me and given great insight into how I view and apply habits in my life. I also mention social media and its role on the state of my mental health, explaining why taking regular breaks helps me to reset and become more grounded. Take time to listen to what you need, away from the standards and opinions of society and those around you. Reflect what you need most right now and how can you make that a priority?

    Episode 10: A Lack Of Permanence

    In today's episode I discuss the daunting reality that a lack of permanence is, that nothing in our life is permanent, other than ourselves. This is better than it sounds; it helps us within the hard times. It gives us the freedom to explore what we actually want, not what is expected of us. Look at what you have been through so far, look how far you've come. Whatever comes your way, whatever you go through, you are strong enough to come out the other side. With each new opportunity comes a new experience, with an experience - good or bad - you will end up learning from it. This is invaluable. With that, I urge you to try something new. If nothing else, it will be an experience... and you might just learn something.

    Episode 9: How to Prioritise

    Prioritising is an important aspect of life and can be a contributing factor into your success, learning to prioritise will benefit not only yourself and your future, but also the relationships you have with people. Your priorities are strongly linked to your intrinsic values, by starting with these you can find what you should be prioritising. Getting to know your values and priorities is also a great exercise for self-discovery, learning about what you should consider when making decisions, in turn makes them easier. Today I explore how to find your priorities by breaking it down into a process, an exercise I find extremely beneficial.

    Episode 8: Practice What You Preach

    If you have needed an excuse to take a break, here it is. We often get caught up in our lives, we forget to stop and have a rest, these periods of rest offer so much for you mentally, emotionally and physically. We need to start taking accountability with what we say, the same advice we give to someone else, we may be needing ourselves yet end up ignoring. This is your wake up call, listen to your body and what it needs - this is how you become your best self.

    Episode 7: How Self-Perception Influences You

    In today's episode I discuss how your self-perception influences your decisions and how society influences the way you view yourself. Both of these are really important and have a massive impact on our lives. By being aware of who we are, and our opinion on ourselves, we have a better opportunity to become who we want to be, who we are supposed to be. Be kind and spread love, not only to other people but also to yourself.

    Episode 6: Creating Systems to Combat Laziness

    Today I discuss the issues I have had with procrastination and laziness and how I overcame them (this is still a work in progress). I explore the systems I have created in order to achieve this, to become a better and more organised me. Hopefully this acts as a guide or inspiration to help you combat your issues with these things. This has been a long journey for me to get to this point, but I now feel in control of my life again and I get to do so much more because I have these systems to help me be organised and stay on track.

    Episode 4: The Power of Reflection

    In todays episode I discuss the power of reflection and how it can drastically improve your life. Self-reflection can be an amazing tool, it helps you become more self-aware, and shows your progression through multiple aspects of your life. This can also be a great motivator as you see how far you have come and recognise how far you can then go. So with that, what can you reflect on, in your own life?
