- 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- Words with myself 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- Words with myself 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- 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 comments0
- Words with myself Dec 4 · 10m Inconvenient GrowthSometimes we can fall into the trap of believing the lessons we get from healing can actually be standing in the way of our goals, because the lesson contradicts the intention of the goal. It can be incredibly difficult to let go of out expectations in life and fall into the void uncertain of what is on the other side. The catch-22 being, until you jump, you will never know and constantly live out this unsatisfied character detached from their purpose.0 comments0
- Momentum For The MomentMomentum can be a powerful force in our lives, both for good and for bad. Each positive step we take will lead to the next, same for each negative step. Confidence, strength, self-assurance, non of these a permanent characteristics despite many people trying to portray otherwise. We all have moments of weakness and moments of strength, sometimes we doubt ourselves and other times we celebrate our achievements. However, we can change the course of momentum in our lives for better or for worse, if you are down now you can take steps to be up, if you are up now down is only a few steps away.0 comments0
- War With The WorldMany people avoid making enemies, but to take any form of stand or doing anything of impact is going to cause you to make enemies. This leaves you with a decision to make, am I going to avoid taking a stand or staying true to my beliefs, or am I going to make enemies. The choice is yours to make, but for myself, I would rather be at war with the world than be at war with myself.0 comments0
- Feeling how i’m feelingWhen I feel a strong emotion, my default go-to is to analyze the who, what, why's of the situation and try to understand what is causing it. I have gotten so used to doing shadow work, it has almost become my instinct to delve into what I am feeling before I have even had a chance to truly feel it. Shadow work has become some form of defense mechanism as I know that understanding and processing trauma is the road to heal it, I am trying to shortcut the negative emotions before they even arise. I think in some way, I am cheating myself from actually processing the trauma. Rushing to get through it and not allowing myself to feel how I feel or process what I am feeling and instead rushing to try and logic my way out of it.0 comments0
- The Good LifeWe all have an idea of Good and Bad, what that means to us, and it is probably completely different for every single one of us. Good and bad are subjective, not only to each individual but also subjective to the moment for those individuals too. When we try to control our life into submission and create a life of good without bad, we end up causing ourselves far more suffering in the attempt to control than we would have with just allowing things to play out how they were meant to. When we allow ourselves to enter a flow state of non-attachment, we can truly experience life in the realest sense.0 comments0
- Where did I go?When we are growing up, we fall into the trap of building an identity. We create a mask or a series of masks and learn to keep ourselves sheltered. Over time, we keep checking our reflection and all we see is the mask so we forgot we ever put one on in the first place, believing the character we created is truly ourselves. Who are you really? What do you really want? When you answer these questions through the glasses of the mask/character, we get answers like "I want to be rich" or "I am a loser", answers that attach to the identity we created. We learned that people value rich people, so that is why we want to be rich or we learned that we are a loser because nobody wanted to be friends with us, we traded who we were for somebody that was more palatable for other people. It is time to stop playing the character and start living as authentically as we can bare.0 comments0
- Know it to be trueAs Henry Ford once said, "Whether you think you can or think your can't, you are right." He knew that the beliefs you hold will dictate your reality. Despite the fact that I disagree with modern mainstream spirituality suggesting that manifestation is this cure-all magic problem solver that will make all your wishes come true, I do know just how powerful manifestation can be. Many of us curse our power to manifest, mostly because we often find ourselves manifesting terrible things for ourselves due to our negative beliefs, it is time to change that.0 comments0
- Fear is the limitFear is the barrier to action, it can prevent us from doing and being all the things we want. Yet, fear can also be our biggest source of motivation and strength, it is all about what we do with our fear and how we process it. Instead of letting it control us, we can let it motivate us to be better prepared, more alert and more focused. The more we get used to dealing with the situations and things that frighten us, the less control that fear will be able to exert.0 comments0
- Learning who to trustLearning to trust yourself is a tricky business, how can I trust myself when I get things wrong so often? How can I trust myself when I don't have all the answers? Well, my trust lies with my ability to listen, learn and grow, my trust lies with my intuition and with the fact that things happen as they are meant to happen even if I don't see it at the time. So really, I trust myself to be the vessel rather than to be the water, I don't know where I am headed or what my destiny will look like, but I will ride the waves and do it with a firm belief that I am exactly where I am meant to be.0 comments0
