Words With Myself

Taking The Peace

Sometimes we can get fixed on obtaining comfort when what we truly are seeking, is peace.

Make Your Demands

Can 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...

Off The Beaten Track

The 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.

Spiritual Shiny Object Syndrome

When 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.

Be Careful What You Ask For

During 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.

Gentle Strength

True 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. 

Avoid The Suffering, Avoid The Goal

When 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.

The Thorn In Your Side

Despite 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.

Adjusting To The Light

When 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.

Dopamine Machine

Arguably 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.
