Recently I'm reminded of a virtual work event that was pretty insightful. It was essentially about using positive psychology in the workplace and focussing on people's strengths to take you from good to great. I suppose this is a reason why company culture can be so vital to employees. I know I would personally prefer [...]
I saw an Instagram post the other day that struck a chord with me. It was about anxiety, uncertainty of the unknown (during the tense US election days), and about mental health. It was also about knitting. Apparently I am months behind on the trend because lockdown has created a surge in knitting artists and [...]
I saw a post on LinkedIn about rejection. To summarise it read: If I'm not being rejected then I'm not pushing myself enough. I don't know how I feel about that to be honest. Because we can try our best and still get rejected. We could be the perfect potential partner or friend or employee and [...]
Yesterday was World Mental Health Day - an international day for global mental health education and awareness. Mental health, or emotional health or wellbeing, is just as important as physical health. And perhaps more so, considering the months we've been living through lately.

The episode discussed building resilience and how we can build our mental muscles. Which got me thinking: can it really be done? Perspective I suppose everything is about perspective. One quote that I thought [...]
I listened to a Listen Hunnay podcast episode of Jeannie Mai interviewing Karen Felice about Reiki, an alternative therapy. It's energy healing from Japan in the 1800s and uses hands or palms to move the flow of energy in the body, similar to acupuncture. I listened sceptically, but my main take away from the podcast [...]
Recently I listened to Jim Kwik's podcast number 178 on how to make better decisions. This theory is based on Edward De Bono's Six Thinking Hats and was really interesting to listen to. Essentially there are six different coloured hats, each with a different purpose, to help you make better decisions in almost every aspect of [...]
I listened to a very informative and inspirational podcast recently called Listen Hunnay with Jeannie Mai interviewing Jim Kwik. Kwik founded Kwik Learning and essentially shares really good advice on adult learning theory, as well as life. This is quite a long post, but was saying such great phrases and quotes I had to write [...]
