I Think It’s Time To Stop Apologizing

You’d think we were born apologizing, it’s such a big part of our make-up. But, we weren’t. We were born with no apology. No excuses for why we are who we are. Apologies didn’t even feature in our frame of reference. Why would we, magnificent creation that we are, apologise? We were blissful in the knowledge that we are exactly who and what we were made to be. Note: I didn’t say we were perfect, I said we accepted ourselves as we are.

Don’t Let Limiting Beliefs Stop You

I played it small in my 20s and my 30s and halfway through my 40s and then I realised I wasn’t prepared to do that to myself anymore. I realised I had been preaching for my own limitations for too long and it was time to get over it and move on to the life I had not only dreamed of, but the life I had been worthy of all along. It was time to stop preaching for my limitations and step into my worthiness, and the life that was waiting for me on the other side of fear.

5 Reasons to Accept What Is

Every day around the world millions of people wake up and think to themselves is this it? Is this all we get? And, before I say another word, I think it’s important that we realize that we all feel this way. We are not alone. We find ourselves, in a way, ‘stuck’ with these lives that we live. Not knowing which way to go, why we are here or what the point is. It’s all a bit of a shock to the system and it can take us a lifetime to come to terms with it. To be able to live happily we need to learn to accept what is. Better still, learn to love what is instead of asking ourselves is this as good as it gets. We need to make it as good as it can get instead.

Knowing We All Make Mistakes Doesn’t Make It Easier

Expectation can feel like a choke hold on our lives. And even though we all make mistakes, and we know this, somehow we leave little room for errors in our own lives. It’s gotten so bad that we relish when someone else makes a mistake. Looking for the opportunity to take pity on them in some magnanimous gesture. And all the while its insecurity showing up as it always does to rain on someone else’s parade for a change instead of ours. But that doesn’t make it better, it just makes it feel better.

An Attitude of Gratitude Can Change Your Life

It’s quite a big statement, that an attitude of gratitude can change your life, don’t you think? I want us to start taking gratitude seriously. It’s time to stop seeing it as a token of appreciation and start seeing it as a powerful mindset for change. We look at the world around us and life feels heavy on our shoulders. We worry for things that have not yet happened, fear for what ‘may’ come to pass. Why do we focus on all the things that make knots in our stomachs? Why do we stew in our own fears? What if we looked at life from a different, more positive, perspective? What if we saw all the blessings and the good in our lives? If we live our lives with an attitude of gratitude, don’t you think it would change our perspectives for the better?

Finding Comfort in the Highs and Lows

We all know that life comes with highs and lows, but how often do we actually think about the reasons for why that is? How often do we see the value in both the highs and lows? I would like to look at how we can take all the different experiences of our lives and see the value in them. Maybe even find some comfort in them. Instead of always believing that value comes from the highs, let’s look at where we can find value in the lows as well. Better yet, let’s look at where we can find balance between the two.

Daily Self-Care Practices That Can Change Your Life

(Guest Post by Julie Morris)

They say how you spend your day is how you spend your life. And it’s true! The actions you take every day combine to create the person you are, the things you prioritize, and the values you uphold. When you eat healthily and exercise every day, you become someone who values health. When you set healthy boundaries in your relationships and take the time, with daily self-care, to acknowledge your own needs, you become a person who has the utmost self-respect.

Ever Wondered How To Protect Your Energy?

When I was growing up, I wasn’t even aware of my ‘energy’. It just wasn’t a thing. People are way more aware of the energy that they are picking up and giving off now days.

What it is, how to give it a boost and how to protect it when necessary.

Can We Find the Silver Lining when Feeling Hopeless?

First, let me start by reminding you that every single person on this planet, no matter how positive, feels hopeless sometimes. It’s perfectly normal. We don’t have the answers to many of life’s questions and we don’t know what tomorrow may bring. It’s completely understandable that we feel this way sometimes. This doesn’t sound like a great way to start an uplifting blog post, but perspective is a powerful thing! Knowing you’re not the only one feeling these emotions is also a powerful thing. So, please remember that you are not alone.

What Does It Mean To Be Free?

Abundance is the latest buzz word, and I mean I get it! We all long for abundance in life. But, what is it about living a life of abundance? I believe it stems from a longing to be free. But, why do we so badly want to be free? And, what does it mean to be free? Is it the same for everyone? Maybe, for the purposes of this blog, we should ask a more specific question: what is a free spirit? Let’s look a little more closely at the two.
