How to Finally Stop Being So Overwhelmed
You wake with a start as that panicky feeling takes hold. All of the things you need to do today, or That One Big Thing that is happening later overwhelm you into a state of paralysis. You’re not sure what job to do first, so you flail around trying to attack multiple things at once, or worse, do nothing.

The Subtle Art Of Saying No
Written By: H M Hines February 4, 2021 Most people, especially people who are part of a marginalized community, have a hard time saying no to others. This is especially so in situations of employment, but also extends to how we use our time outside of work. Whether the question is “Can you pick up an extra shift?” or “Can you chaperone the field trip?” we are stymied and often overcommit ourselves just for fear of confrontation. Sadly, this social conditioning is easily taken advantage of by authority figures, partners, parents, friends, etc. Society definitely gives “certain people” (we know who, let's be honest,) permission to take, while reinforcing that other people are to be taken from.

Becoming a better YOU.
As we get older, we tend to grow and evolve into the people we are meant to be. These changes can happen in various ways. While there are some people who are just stuck in their ways and are afraid of change and growth, most of us will take that step into becoming the best version of ourselves.

Free Tips and Advice - But Is There a Catch?
WHEN I created Budding Writers’ Corner, a community group on Facebook, and Creative Writing for Beginners, a blog, during the last quarter of 2020 to give tips and advice to aspiring creative writers, my family, friends and colleagues expressed curiosity. They hurled various questions at me, including the following:

Getting back into writing during a pandemic
I have had some serious brain fog recently when it comes to writing – like a severe mental block. I know what to do to get out of it, but as of yet, have not had the motivation to do anything about it. Well, I mean apart from now – which is the first step. I’m not going to say I’m an expert, or even particularly skilled at writing, but I am trying desperately to kick start my brain again, which has switched to zombie-mode in the middle of a pandemic.

Find Your Purpose
Everyone in life has a purpose, though finding that purpose can be hard. Even when we know what the purpose is, the road to achieving that purpose can be long, tough and overwhelming. So sometimes we opt for the easy life, getting a job working for someone else, ensure its enough to pay the bills, puts food on the table and maybe an annual family holiday. We don’t want to worry about the poor, human trafficking or person next door. We just want to live. But as humans we are made to be purposeful and if we’re anything less, it just won’t work right. But how do we find our purpose?

Is The Glass Half Empty Or Half Full?
DECISIONS, decisions, decisions: you and I make them every single day. From the moment the alarm clock shatters the morning silence, I ponder, albeit groggily, if I could afford to remain cocooned for a few more minutes in my bed instead of arising swiftly to seize the new day; to choosing what I would have for lunch, to signing the walking papers of my inept assistant, or whether it was time to tell my best friend that she has invested more than enough time and emotion in her unfaithful domestic partner.

New Years
Life is just a series of questions, challenges and hopefully, resolutions to those questions and challenges. New years resolutions are an odd way to either, stockpile more challenges (which, let's be honest, are not going to be completed), or, for the few who actually practice the art of motivation, (more realistically, those of us who possess a stupidly long list of things we need to complete so if we disguise them as 'New Years Resolutions', then maybe, we'll possibly, get off our asses and do them - once again, not likely), a way to tick off items on a categorised list like someone who's actually got their shit together. Fucken weirdos the 'motivated' lot. They're influencers, people we look up to, people with money to pay people to do that shit for them, or people who must appear like superior fuckwits just so they get paid from our cult-like viewing of their 'motivational' bullshit that we'll never be able to achieve because we have actual lives with actual New Years Resolutions that we'll never complete. Fuckwits.
