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.

If Love Is The Answer Why Isn’t It Easier?

If love really is the answer let’s look at why that might be, and why it isn’t always so easy. I mean, beyond the niceties and the sentiment, the ooh’s and ahh’s of love, what makes it ‘the answer’?

We all want to be loved, but do we realize the significance of giving, or being love ourselves? I believe that love is the answer, but that we need to tune in to what that really means and what role we have to play in the sharing of it. If we want living from a place of love to be easier we have to understand our own role in it.

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. This is great, except for those times when you don’t know how to protect your energy. So, this blog is going to be all about energy! 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.

15 Eye Opening Self Awareness Quotes

Isn’t it ironic that the subject of self-awareness seems to only enter your frame of reference once you have opened the door to it? It’s a chicken before the egg situation. How can you become self aware without self-awareness? There’s little point asking someone who isn’t self aware what it means to be self aware, lol! In other words, the mere fact of you asking ‘Am I self aware’ means you are in the least ‘becoming’ self aware. You get where I’m going with this. Let’s look into it a bit more. I’ve included some inspiring self awareness quotes, ones that will help me get the message across that self awareness signifies a shift in perception. In short, I want to look at why we need self awareness, and why it matters so much for our personal growth.

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.

Self Talk: A Thank You Letter To Myself

We all go through our internal struggles. Our self-doubt. Questioning everything that we do. Whether we are good enough, pretty enough, brave enough. We are in a constant state of ‘talking ourselves down from a ledge’. Trying, from a place of concern for our own best interest, to keep ourselves ‘safe’. But, we are using the wrong approach altogether. We are using fear tactics instead of positive self talk. It’s become easier to find examples of negative self talk than positive self talk examples. For this reason it is so important that we ask ourselves the question ‘What is Self Talk?’. And, am I using it to empower myself?

Time is Precious: Making the Most of Each Moment

To bring home the point that time is precious, let’s start with this simple exercise. Count the days you’ve been blessed with so far in this life. I have lived 17,183 days on this earth so far, as of today. That’s 47 years and change, for anyone who’s wondering. I’ve been thinking about those 17, 183 days, wondering what I’ve done with them. Have they been productive? Have I lived them to their fullest, from a place of love? Did I recognize that time is precious, or did I live a bit too much of it in a wasteful kind of way?
