Tings And Things

As people that have recently endured a global pandemic we know that your proximity to certain people can be harmful to you in the long term. There is some behavior you need to avoid like the plague, this is your public service announcement.

You hear about FOMO a lot these days. We can all relate, whether we see the homies linking up together while we are at a family function. Your uni friends catching your favorite artist in concert, we can all relate to FOMO in one way or the other.  

You know this journey to self-discovery is incredible and life is funny because it takes a while for things to click but when they do finally click, the moments of realization are incredible. These are some of the things that have clicked for us recently. 

This might be a very interesting chat and we have wanted to have it for a while but we were working on the right way to approach all of this. Ideas are not unique and more than one person can decide to do something, you may start a podcast, get a blog going or start making music who knows. Do you feel threatened by your peers are starting in a space that you occupy? 

Life is full of distractions, and being able to separate yourself from these distractions is key to elevating yourself one step closer to your dreams. What kinds of things do you need to separate yourself from? Everyone has something that is holding them back from getting to that next level, no matter what level. e

Life is not a linear journey by any means. As listeners of the podcast, you know we have been very open about our struggles and how we have been dealing with things. From episode to episode this is something that we mention in passing from time to time. Tings and Things are definitely a community and we genuinely feel like you guys are family and want to be as open and transparent with you in this episode.

From time to time we like to come here and give you some cold hard truths and today feels like one of those days. Some of us shouldn’t be dating and how do you know that you should give this potential talking stage a skip? 

Do you remember that song when we were kids “Have patience, have patience, don’t be in such a hurry?” We don’t know why that didn’t translate to adulthood but it didn’t. Sometimes it is okay to be in second gear, and not go all out, all the time.

Your boys are well versed in this long-distance ting and it is becoming more of a reality for us in the world today. How do you navigate the distance between you and your loved one, and make sure you keep the flame burning. 

As people, we can be rather judgmental and somewhat critical of others. As people that do some stupid things, it is tough to bite your tongue when you see muppetry occurring out here. As you are biting your tongue, let’s unpack what should help to keep you there. 

So many people are afraid to start and you see people being shackled down by a multitude of things. We aim to encourage, empower and uplift you to know that you can do it, and it really is never too late.

We assume that title definitely caught your attention. There is a distinction between; being a nice accommodating person and flat-out people-pleasing. This can manifest itself in a number of different ways and it is inherently toxic, let’s unpack what this looks like and how to unpack it. 

Funny how life changes and evolves as we get older. So much of our formative years were spent on finding the right answer to questions that are irrelevant. As we get further along we have found out that life is about asking the right questions. 

Yes, if you are behaving in a very toxic manner, you might be sending out a vibe that draws in those on the same wavelength. But that’s not always true. You might not be a “toxic person” in general. You might just be doing something toxic, without realizing it. As experts in this field, we want to unpack how to be a better person and leave the toxic ways behind

Maintaining deep and long-lasting friendships is tough. What does being a true friend look like and how can you be the friend that people have always wanted to have?

Sometimes we feel like self-care is broken and to a certain extent, it is true. We constantly need to assess our self-care and ask if it is working for us. It is important to interrogate this to make sure that our self-care actually works for us. Let us unpack it.

 Fizzling does not take place between two people in a committed, loving relationship. It takes place between two people who are together under unclear terms.
