    Doing Nothing and Letting Go of the Guilt

    16 July 2023 /

    Doing Nothing and Letting Go of the Guilt photo by Priscilla Du Preez on Unsplash When it comes to minimalism most people assume it’s all about decluttering and living with little. But what if I told you that it’s also about doing little? In today’s world it seems as if everyone is busy and rushed. So many times when I’ve asked colleagues what their plans are for the weekend, it’s about fulfilling a jam-packed schedule. Even the ones who say they plan to relax tell me the next week that they’ve actually ‘been really busy’, and there’s a knowing smile, a ‘me too’, and ‘it never stops does it?’, from…

    How Minimalism Helped With My Disability

    1 April 2022 /

    If you looked at me, you wouldn’t see anything wrong. No wheelchairs, no walking sticks, no tubes; nothing to suggest I may struggle with a disability.  But the truth is, I am disabled.  I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also known as ME)  which causes unrelenting fatigue, cognitive issues, and sometimes pain which takes over every muscle in my body.  I’m also autistic which causes me sensory and processing issues.  When I was first diagnosed with these conditions, I was in my early twenties and a hoarder.  I landed jobs easily, but I struggled to keep them and life at home aways felt chaotic. I couldn’t just relax when I got…

    Beating Imposter Syndrome

    14 June 2021 /

    Photo by Fares Hamouche on Unsplash Sometimes, I don’t post for a period of time. I intend to, but I often find that weeks go by or a whole month before I get my writing head on and publish another article. And quite often I’ll tell myself ‘I haven’t had time’. ‘I don’t feel motivated’, ‘I’m too tired’. ‘You know, the usual excuses. The truth is I’ve been struggling with something so many others, especially creatives, suffer with at some point in their lives: imposter syndrome.  For those of you who may not have heard of it, it’s highly likely you have felt it at some period of your life, are feeling it…

    When the Mask Falls – Discovering the Truth About Myself Through Minimalism and Slow Living

    12 February 2021 /

    Some time has passed since my last post, but truthfully, I’ve been going through a few things, and I’ve also discovered something big about myself in the healing process.  I’ll start by briefly mentioning that I’m in the process of healing for postnatal OCD, obsessively checking on my baby daughter, having terrible intrusive thoughts, and horrendous night terrors that have woken me almost as much as the baby. To say I’ve been exhausted is an understatement.  My mind and body have been completely totalled. I was still going out for long daily walks but that itself wasn’t fixing anything. I couldn’t understand why I felt so completely overwhelmed even when…

    Starve Your Inner Critic and Claim Back Your Power

    16 March 2020 /

    Almost everybody has an inner critic, that snide, sniggering, scoffing voice at the back of your head that says you aren’t good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, strong enough, or deserving enough.  And let’s face it -with all the ways we have to compare ourselves to everyone around us nowadays, as well as intense marketing designed to reinforce beliefs that you’re lacking in some way unless you buy their product, is it any wonder that those internal insults become ever louder? “I’ll never be able to live like him/her” “My writing’s crap compared to this” “I’m not smart enough to go for the job I want” “I’ll never be disciplined…
