So Many Reasons to be Happy

We are so focused on things to worry about in life that we don’t tend to use much of our energy on what we have to be grateful for. On our reasons to be happy. For this reason, I want this blog to be 100% focused on all the reasons we have to be happy. Imagine a world where we focus on how grateful we are. Where we focus on how healthy we are, or we focus on the opportunities that we have laid out before us. It is a mystery to me, why the human race thrives on the negative when to really thrive, all we need to do is focus on the positive. Maybe just the act of paying attention to what we have to be happy about can allow us to be happier.

Secrets for How to Change Your Mindset

Is there some secret sauce when it comes to mindset? If there were a bottle labelled ‘how to change your mindset’ it would be flying off the shelves, don’t you think? I know not so long ago I would have bought it! And I would have paid a pretty penny for it too. But, I know now that our mindset doesn’t come in a bottle. It develops over time. It soaks up the impressions from our environment, the experiences we have gone through and the people we have encountered and it rolls it all up into this big blob of ‘conclusions’ about life. But, what if our mindsets a) don’t serve us and, b) are made up of more than a couple of lies!

Journaling: A Path to Self-Discovery

When you first set out on your self improvement journey it can feel like there is so much advice and tools to help you that you simply don’t know where to start. To me there is a clear winner and that is journaling. I believe in the incredible power of journaling to change our mindset, our point of view and our sense of self. That’s a big statement, I know, but I really believe it. I have used the power of journaling my thoughts since I was a teenager and it has the ability to help you get to the bottom of anything you may be going through in life.

Being Open to a Sense of Purpose

There’s a driving force within each and every one of us. No matter your interests, goals or aspirations in this life. A drive to be the best that we can be. It could be to start a charity that supports your community. It could be to make it to the Olympics or to sail around the world. Or, it could be to sell the best lemon meringue pie your town has ever seen! It is a calling within us that drives us to ‘more’. Ambition has nothing to do with it. It is our own personal sense of purpose. And if you think you don’t have it, I urge you to think on it some more because, trust me you do!

Do You Need To Master Your Emotions?

We’re an emotional species. It’s part of being human. So, why do we feel that we need to control our emotions? Why do we think mastering our emotions makes us ‘better’ somehow?

I’d like to look at mastering your emotions from a different perspective in this blog because I believe we need to befriend our emotions, and NOT try to control them. We need to reconnect with our humanity, and learn to master our emotions through lovingly accepting them instead.

Forget Fitting In: Try Being Authentic Instead

Can I ask you, why do we so badly want to fit in? What is the drive, deep within us that pushes us to be anything but ourselves in order to be acceptable to, and accepted by, others? How is it possible that we choose the acceptance of our peers over our own? It seems ridiculous. And yet, we are overwhelmingly more likely to go against our own nature in order to please our friends, family and even colleagues! What is the appeal, and the pull of fitting in that is so magnetic?

Your Outlook on Life Effects your Entire Experience

A couple of weeks ago I had what I would call an ‘unlucky day’. I bruised my ankle, bumped my arm, had a bug fly into my ear and then ended the day scraping the palm of my hand open as I gracefully fell towards a closed door. Lol. I could have been fuming after all of that. I could have raised my fists and cursed at the skies. But I laughed it off because I don’t believe that kind of outlook on life can benefit me or set me up for a good day. Or, a good life.

Deciding to Show up for Yourself

There is a lot of focus on showing up for everyone else in our lives. But what does it look like to show up for yourself? Does this mean neglecting your duties or responsibilities to the people in your life or can we find a healthy balance so that we don’t get left behind? I’d like to think that we absolutely can show up for ourselves without dropping the ball on other areas of our lives. In fact, I’m going to insist that we show up better for others when we show up for ourselves first!

Truth Bomb: Your Dreams Might be Hurting more than your Reality

I feel like this was a bit of an ‘ah-ha’ moment or realization for me. A moment of clarity. Driving to pick my kids up from school I found myself thinking, ‘are my dreams hurting me more than my present reality?’. This thought, this truth bomb from the heavens, really took the wind out of my sails. This is major! This means my entire life experience is being pointed in the wrong direction, even with all the best intentions!
