    Freedom and Growth During This Time

    May 26, 2022 / No Comments

    Today, I want to address freedom and growth. If there is one place you should be free, it is in your own mind. You might have limitations in terms of what your body is capable of doing and what you’re allowed to do, but your mind should be free to roam wherever you want it to. This is not the reality in which most of us live. Instead, your thoughts are dictated by your circumstances, and those circumstances are largely out of your control – or at least it feels that way. That’s why you often find yourself feeling dissatisfied and constantly wanting to push forward, rather than stopping to…

    Limiting Beliefs and Self Confidence

    May 2, 2022 / No Comments

    It’s just a fact that holding onto limiting beliefs negatively impacts your self-confidence and your self-esteem. It’s helpful to look at the following list of limiting beliefs and then work toward replacing them with empowering ones. Treat yourself kindly and learn to reframe the things you say to yourself. How you speak to yourself has a huge effect, either negative or positive, on your future! Always be mindful of limiting beliefs and self-confidence. Here’s one example: “I’ll never be able to learn this because I’m not smart enough” is better as “It may take some extra time, but I’ll find a way to learn the things I need to learn…

    Digital Detox

    April 15, 2022 / No Comments

    Over the past few years, the term ‘digital detox’ has become increasingly popular as people discover the benefits of turning off their electronic devices and just living life with a bit of quiet for a day or two. Doing a digital detox once a week is a fantastic way to restore your mental health and calm your soul. It’s true we live in a digital age, and millions of people are glued to their mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc. The other day I was noticing in the grocery store how many people were talking on their cell phones while pushing their carts through the aisles. I also noticed how they…

    March 15, 2022 / No Comments

    What Exactly is Anxiety? Let’s just admit it; most of us experience anxiety from time to time. It’s expressed through tension, uncertainty, and sometimes through fear. When it hits us, these worries can affect our sleep, our appetite and our ability to concentrate. Let’s talk a bit about it and about how to lose your anxiety. The reality is that anxiety and fear are important for your survival because they act to protect your body against stress or danger. They trigger the release of hormones like adrenalin. As a result of that adrenalin release, you breathe more quickly which increases your energy. There are other physical changes which are produced…

    Discover Your Purpose

    January 31, 2022 / No Comments

    To discover your purpose and calling in life is a thought-driven process. To discover your purpose, it’s important to simplify things and dig down to get to your authentic self. The key to doing that is to ask yourself questions that help you discover or re-discover who you really are. We often wear masks when we’re out in the world, and we never get in touch with who we really are. The mask we wear may be all we know… and we act and think as we believe we should. By digging deep and asking yourself the questions that matter, you’ll discover what it is you truly want in life.…
