Is personality fixed? (Or even real?)

I’ve had lots of conversations about personality over the years, especially ones where personality itself wasn’t being discussed specifically, but rather used as a jumping off point to understand a person or situation or what have you. And it wasn’t until recently that I had sort of an epiphany, from yet another conversation, this one being incredibly short. In fact, I’d almost rather class it as an off-handed comment than a conversation, yet it struck me anyway.

How useful is motivation?

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Thoughts that Bind! We talk so much on here about doing the work and achieving our goals (and so on), so today I thought we’d address an aspect of it that we haven’t really before: motivation.

Write a letter: to someone who hurt you

Hi everyone! We’ve got a pretty serious concept in our letter-writing today, which is a letter to someone who has hurt you. If you want to read about the basis for letter writing first, you can click here. And to look at the last letter we wrote, go here. But now, let’s dig in.

How to live your best life (the art of priorities)

How to follow your dreams after quarantine

If recent global events have taught us anything, it’s that life is short. Or at least, it can be. And that alone is enough to give us some perspective about what’s truly important. We realize that maybe our jobs are just income sources, that we really don’t make enough time for self-care or that we don’t prioritize our loves ones nearly enough. And dreams, I think, fall into this category as well.

How not to be a hypocrite

Today, we’re talking about hypocrites! I’ve covered hypocrites before in my post “God bless the hypocrites” which you can find here. We talked about how to handle criticism constructively, so that we can use it to our advantage. But after all that, you may still be wondering “how do I not end up a hypocrite?” And that’s what we’re diving into today, so put on your swimming goggles and let’s go.

What Christianity taught me

Inside all the cathedrals and stain glassed sanctuaries of the world, what can be gleaned?

Not being Christian myself, it may seem odd for me to make a post like this. And I agree, it is odd. That being said, I had a conversation with someone a little while back that gave me some perspective. Or rather, reinforced the perspective that I already had but framed it in a new way.

Write a letter (to your past self)

So recently, I wrote a post about writing letters. You can find it here, if you haven’t read it yet. But essentially, I covered the beautiful release that it can bring to you, as well as new perspectives on old events, and also that sending a letter can really make someone’s day, and help encourage them way beyond what you might imagine. I also vowed to bring some ideas for letter-writing to my dear readers, so that even those of you struggling for ideas will have access to this beautiful practice, at least to get the ball rolling. Without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, here is your first idea: write a letter to your past self.
