- Jun 4 · 14m Simple Not EasyJust because it is simple, doesn't mean it is easy and just because it's hard, doesn't mean it is not right. We place our own limits upon ourselves, fear blinds us and after years of repeating that something is impossible, it soon becomes it. Change the narrative, re-convince yourself of the possibilities.0 comments00 likes0
- May 28 · 16m Fix FixationHealing is not a constant fight to fix what is broken within us, healing is learning that we were never broken to begin with. Healing is acceptance, accepting what has been, what is and what will be. Healing is living in the present moment, not being distracted with fighting a lifelong war with ourselves. Sometimes it takes doing it wrong, to figure out how to do it right.0 comments00 likes0
- May 22 · 16m Fear Is A Guiding LightFear can be seen as something to remove or to avoid, but fear reveals to us the very things we must do to move closer to our purpose. Fear is there to keep us safe, but in modern society fear has gone into overdrive and become a force for enabling us to escape and run away from our destiny. What was once a tool to provide healthy consideration for personal safety has now spread to all areas of life. Fear may have prevented our ancestors from eating a poisonous berry, but it didn't stop them from eating.0 comments00 likes0
- May 14 · 13m Anxiety or Intuition?Anxiety or Intuition? How can you tell the difference? Often we can feel like our intuition is guiding us to somewhere and our anxiety is pulling us away, though it can be difficult to decipher which is which at times. A gut instinct telling you not to do something, or anxious doubts eroding your self-belief? If you pay attention you will notice that intuition arrives as a statement and anxiety arrives as a question.0 comments00 likes0
- May 7 · 13m Letting Go of ControlThe problem with comfort is that it pair with anxiety, as we know that the comfort will soon come to an end. When we make our whole life suited to comfort, we worry that when this time comes we won't be able to handle it. Those that are used to being in uncomfortable situation do not feel this worry, as they know that they situations are certain and they must deal with them as they arise. It gives nothing to fear a certainty.0 comments00 likes0
- Apr 23 · 10m Make Your DemandsCan you demand the universe to give you what you want? Who are you to be making demands? This is a limiting belief many of us suffer with, feeling like we are not worthy of the things we desire, but just by you being alive you have demanded from the universe that it is to be so. Though, you must be careful what you wish for...0 comments00 likes0
- Apr 16 · 14m Off The Beaten TrackThe common way, isn't necessarily the right way. We have to embrace our individualism and trust that we know what is best for ourselves. Too many times do people convince themselves not to take action because the fear what others will say, their judgments and their criticisms. Only when we truly understand that the path is wherever we decide to walk, can we truly be free.0 comments00 likes0
- Apr 9 · 14m Spiritual Shiny Object SyndromeWhen we begin our healing journey and attempt to let down the walls we have built around us, we can quickly become overwhelmed with feeling all the things we were previously suppressing. This can lead to sinking deeper and deeper into your own pain with no clear way out, but sometimes we have to sink to the bottom in order to push off and make it back to the surface.0 comments00 likes0
- Apr 2 · 15m Be Careful What You Ask ForDuring the course of my life, I have grown exceedingly more cautious with what I ask for from the universe. I have come to terms with the fact that actually, I might not always know what is best for me. The things that I am impatiently waiting for, if I had them now, maybe I would squander them. I am learning to trust the universe more and more, that what is right for me will come to me when the time is right, and what never comes was never meant for me anyway.0 comments02 likes2
- Mar 26 · 15m Gentle StrengthTrue strength is being true to you. Many people idealise strength as someone who projects that they are strong, the loudest among us are often considered strong while the quietest weak. It is quite the opposite in fact, anyone can scream and shout, be angry and hurtful to others, but it takes true strength to be gentle, calm and stoic. It takes true strength, to be you, unfiltered and unreserved, just you.0 comments00 likes0
- Mar 19 · 11m Avoid The Suffering, Avoid The GoalWhen we ask for something or set a goal, seldom do we look at the full picture. As the great Ronnie Coleman once said, "Everybody wants to be a bodybuilder, but nobody wants to lift these heavy ass weights." Many things are like this, people want the idolized end product but avoid the suffering that it takes in order to get it. IF you truly want something, understand the whole picture of what you want, then you can know that you want the suffering you are inflicting on yourself too.0 comments00 likes0
- Mar 12 · 12m The Thorn In Your SideDespite what we may think, time doesn't heal all wounds. In fact, sometimes time can make it much much worse. Trauma can have lasting effects on our development if we do not do the work that is necessary to heal them, the longer we leave it the worse the wound can get. Despite how painful it may be to sit in the discomfort of the trauma, it will be far more painful to let it affect you for the rest of your life.0 comments00 likes0
- Mar 5 · 12m Adjusting To The LightWhen we have been in the darkness for so long, when we finally see the light, it can be blinding. Sometimes rather than making immediate decisions based on how we feel in the moment, we need to allow the dust to settle in order for us to realise what is truly right for us.0 comments00 likes0
- Feb 26 · 12m Dopamine MachineArguably one of the most common addictions in today's society, and something almost everyone suffers with to some degree, the severity of dopamine addiction seems to be on the rise. Our attention spans are rapidly reducing and mental health issues are being reported at record numbers, to what extent is an over-abundance of dopamine to blame? I know in my own life, stepping back and reflecting on a near 24/7 stream of input and distraction, it is having a drastic impact on my mood, concentration, clarity and focus.0 comments00 likes0
- Feb 19 · 18m Different Battles Require Different TacticsMost people believe in the attributes others and themselves ascribe to them, strong, smart, reckless, creative, controlling etc. But truth be told, there are times for all these things, there is an appropriate time to need to take control and there are times for letting go. Being able to identify which archetypes to channel and what kind of energy something requires is an important skill, when something isn't working it may be time to change tactic.0 comments00 likes0
- Feb 6 · 10m A Solitary JourneyHealing is a solitary journey. That doesn't mean people, books and many other things can't aid that journey, but it does mean that only we can truly heal ourselves. The work belongs to us, the responsibility belongs to us and so does the accountability. Nobody has had your experience, not exactly, it may be similar, but not the same. While others may have insight and wisdom to share, only you can truly know what work needs to be done and what that work entails.0 comments00 likes0
- Jan 29 · 11m Enough is EnoughYou are enough, it doesn't matter how much money you have, how many cars you have or how attractive you think you are, you are enough. You are here, alive, a 1 in 400 trillion miracle walking around perceiving and experiencing reality. Nothing you ever do will make you more enough or less enough, because you are, always will be and have always been, enough.0 comments00 likes0
- Jan 22 · 13m Trust Is A Track RecordSelf-belief is a form of trust that develops from experience. When you set an intention and commit to doing something, the success or failure of this commitment will impact that trust and either result if consistent, will dominate that self-belief. If you are never sticking to what you say, how can you trust yourself? You track record inspires no confidence because you are never able to fulfill those contracts. The good news is, confidence is something that can be gained by anyone, but it requires building up that track record of trust and maintaining your commitments that you make to yourself.0 comments00 likes0
- Jan 15 · 16m Incremental ChangeWith New Years just gone, many of us will have goals, changes, ideas that we want to bring into fruition. We use the new years vigor to empower us to make grand changes and implement new motives but often times can overextend ourselves and burn out quickly. Instead, our goals and changes should be aimed at long term growth instead of a short term with high intensity. Incremental change in manageable chunks can help us to see real progress and make our goals sustainable and achievable.0 comments00 likes0
- Jan 8 · 13m Forgive YourselfNo matter the situation and how unfair it may be, the only part of things you can control is yourself. There are always ways we can hold ourselves accountable and address the internal trauma that is causing us pain, for us to move forward we must take ownership of our own responsibility and forgive ourselves for the mistakes we might have made. There is a quote I love, "If you think they are to blame, there is work to be done. If you think you are to blame, there is work to be done. If you think nobody is to blame, you are already there." It is not about blame, it is about healing and growth, in order to move forward we must address our own actions, responses and traumas and allow ourselves to move forward. Compassion is not just for others, we also need to extend it to ourselves.0 comments00 likes0
- Jan 1 · 9m Renascence of Self2023 is the year of truly stepping into myself. Embodying who I am and moving forward to the things that I want without holding myself back or being bounded by fear. 2022 harbored a lot of necessary yet painful growth and this year it is time to embrace that growth and use the lessons learned to truly start creating the life I want to live and tailoring my reality to how I want it to be. I hope you all have a wonderful year and all step into your truest, fullest and deepest selves.0 comments00 likes0
- Dec 18 · 13m The Path of Toxic PositivityAfter a difficult weekend, myself and reality finally came to a head. I had been ignoring everything that was going on in my life and marching forward instead of confronting the truth of my situation. I am unhappy, depressed and exhausted, and that is OK. What is not OK is ignoring this fact and letting it fester until it crippled me into submission leaving me exhausted and stripped apart. We cannot bottle things up forever, we can't keep pretending everything is OK when it is not. We must muster the strength to confront how we feel and allow ourselves to confront the problem head on in order to address it.0 comments00 likes0
- Dec 11 · 12m Live with an open heartIt's true, loving things hurts. Caring hurts. Whether it is deliberate, accidental or by means of the laws of nature, any time we open our heart there is going to be suffering that comes along with it. Does that mean it is the wrong thing to do? Absolutely not.0 comments00 likes0
