I’ve recently taken two whole weeks off, which for me was an example of radical acts of self-love. Before I came to that decision though, one day I was having rather bad thoughts and they kept coming back – images and worries of things happening to me outside of my control. So then I sat […]

When I don’t want to face something, however small or big, it starts building up in my body as a feeling or a sensation. Feeling of overwhelm, anxiety, being “behind” on my to-do list… that sort of thing. And I know I’m not alone. But when I actually catch myself feeling those states, I now […]

In an old tradition, when December comes, we prepare, reflect and wait for Christmas. I’m not one for religion, but in a spiritual sense it makes me completely excited, from-the-inside-out, to set some time aside at the end of the year to reflect, recharge, take stock of our learnings and inspire ourselves for what’s to […]

Language is SO important when it comes to how we perceive the world. I’m Polish, but for a decade now I’ve been using English as my first language. (Meaning I talk and think in English first.) So when recently I was reading a book in Polish, I saw a phrase I’ve FORGOTTEN exists and it […]

Are you procrastinating on working on your project right now? Is… dust on your shelves, sink full of dishes, list of phone calls you wanted to make, new episode of Madam Secretary, Netflix in general, Facebook and Instagram feeds, or anything else that you usually use to procrastinate, …preventing you from doing work when you’re […]

I say I don’t talk to myself like that. She says I do. I think ‘naaaah, I don’t actually call myself stupid… or fat… or crazy. I’m only joking now. I don’t usually…’ ‘Yes you do,’ she said. — Spotting my own patterns of how I talked to myself was like learning a foreign language. […]
