We can sometimes weigh ourselves down with goals that do not match our true intention or inherent value. This is perhaps because we seek to set our goals from what we absorb externally from the experiences of others. Your goals should always be a reflection of you; before we set our goals, we should first begin by searching our hearts. Too often we get caught up in wanting to achieve big t... -

We hold the power for change within our head and heart, and it is only through our own hard work that we can inspire action toward new experiences and our own personal growth. Adulthood is laden with responsibility- we cannot escape it. If we keep denouncing accountability for our actions, our life continues to slip through the gaps we did not seal with due care and attention. Acceptin... -

We stick like glue to our habits, beliefs and behaviours through a blind sighted fear or anxiousness of anything new or seemingly alien to us. And yet the comfortable way of being offers us little reward because without risking something of ourselves we cut back on the power of chance and opportunity in our lives. We give up when goals and aspirations get tough to work through; we worry so much about the possibi... -

Where we are right now is the strongest position to be in, because this is what defines where we go next and all that we do for the days, weeks, and months ahead. Whatever your year has brought to you can be sifted through a lens of wisdom and acceptance, in doing so you allow space for forward movement. The most important thing is to persevere, we never know what... -

We can break down the word ‘emotion’ into two parts, ‘energy’ and ‘motion’- emotion. Often our emotion is an energy that we do not utilize or channel with higher intelligence because our most powerful emotions are so raw, untamed and difficult to manage. So how can we contain our emotion- and should we? The truth is, we cannot contain it without damaging ourselves and diluting our innate need to express and ... -

Compromise has its place in the world, but not when it comes down to diluting your own standards and integrity in such a way that it is actually detrimental to your mental/emotional well being or sense of self worth. Sometimes it may be better to actually reach a stalemate rather than embitter yourself by settling for something that does not measure u... -

We strive for it, yet very often we don’t attain it and it plagues us immensely. Perfection is something that we have mentally created and it frequently plunges us into anxiety because it detaches us from our good qualities. We hurt ourselves with expectations and all that we place so highly on a pedestal in this misplaced paradigm. Rather than burden our mind and hearts with illusory ... -

If we think of them as just energies rather than fixed thoughts or emotions then we can work through them rather than being supressed by them. All thoughts and emotions are fluid. It’s healthy to feel afraid because it means that you are stepping toward something new that challenges your comfort and sense of familiarity. It is healthy to feel angry or sad, because those emotions (if channelled wisely) can be a great resourc... -

We can lose sight of that inherent fortitude because we live life largely from our mindspace because we largely overthink things. At one point or another, we all struggle with anxiety. The mental burdens we carry are often sculpted around tough times, change, and the difficulty of making transformations. We have all we need to surpass our challenges and grow much stronger th... -

By the same token, we will focus on our own shortcomings rather than shine the spotlight on our achievements. This is something that we can be mindful of and try to transform- we cannot control other's perceptions of us but we can positively shape our own. We lose ourselves in what is wrong or defined as a failing rather than how innately magnificent we are. Often our mind magnifies all our seemingly negat... -

Too often we allow our thoughts to overrun us, capturing us in suspicion and fear, which leads us in a downward spiral of negative thinking. Negative thought patterns directly affect what we see and feel in our lives. Once we become consciously aware of our mindset and how it governs our world, we can take steps to create a more progressive state of mind- one that helps us rather than hinders us. Our mind is a muscle; we need dif... -

We only suffer when we don’t take steps to immerse ourselves into it and allow ourselves to mend. We are afraid to feel pain because we fear its depth and its melancholic abyss. However, we should not fear our inner wounds; they are a consequence of full living and the bravery to take chances. If we make the effort, we can find a way to become st... -

It’s our human nature to sit the vision of happy on something outside of us, yet we can only find it within. Happiness is found in simplicity, where we strip back our own mental complexity of this esteemed vision that we find so hard to reach. If we can’t be happy and grateful for what we have right now, then why are we deserving of more? At some point the good things that we have now... -

We cannot ask for a new beginning while we still fervently hold onto everything that keeps us chained to the past, the outworn, or the non-essential. Of course, this is much easier said than done. This is why we struggle with the concept of letting go. We’re naturally habitual and routine-oriented in our endeavors; we work hard to settle into habits so that they become second nature to us. However, in ord... -

To maintain momentum, our motivation needs a foundation built on a determined will to succeed. Our motivation is the spark of energy that sets us toward a given goal, but it is our inner resiliency and commitment that keeps us fired up. We are largely governed by our emotions. The negative feelings we have when things aren’t going our way is what makes it so easy to lose focus. Our emotions inevitably fluctuate, so we need t...
