I find it difficult to remain positive. It takes effort and I wrote this blogpost and I enumerated the steps I actively take. #positive #work #writer #reading #blogpost https://lnkd.in/gjnm4fZS

Writing has always come relatively easily to me. But I talk to many clients who tell me they find it really hard to express themselves online. There’s a lot of pressure to behave in a particular way. Sometimes these pressures come from corporate expectations - you might have to use a certain brand voice that feels inauthentic to you. Or perhaps the pressures come from your peers outside of work. Or maybe they are simply internal pressures you’re putting on yourself because you think you have to do things this way to be successful. The one piece of advice I give to my daughter is to do what feels right for you and try not to get sidetracked by others who try to convince you that their way is the only way. Be yourself online because it’s exhausting trying to be someone else.

Think about one little thing that made you happy this weekend. Finding a shiny conker or having a cinnamon latte; fluffy socks; the cat curled up in your lap and purring; sitting in front of a log fire working your way through your autumn "must-watch" list? Breathe slowly, pick up your pen. And just write whatever comes into your head about that feeling. Forget about commas, full stops, making sense, and just free your mind to go with the flow. It's called freewriting – and it feels good. Want to know more? Check out our blog: https://lnkd.in/eNNhV8Qf #writing #pen #zebrapenuk #itfeelsgood #wellbeing

Every Monday morning we send out a writing tip from our 'sandbox'. The point of these tips isn't to tell you how best to write, but to give you ideas and inspiration to try so you can figure it out for your yourself. We believe in experimenting, trying new things and, as this week's tip suggests, shaking things up! https://lnkd.in/eaHajEQa? #writing #writingtips #writingadvice #writingcommunity

Creating my blog has been one of the greatest things I've done in my life. Writing openly about what you believe and what you learn consistently is not easy. But, there are numerous benefits. For one, it forces you to be self-aware. Because if you are not, you will look like a fool. Additionally, it encourages you to be curious. It'll send you down rabbit holes on random subjects so that you have something to write about. I love it, and I think you will too if you give it a shot! #writing #blog #personalblog #selfimprovement #lifehacks https://lnkd.in/gkSbT3w9
