I hope today brings you healing

I usually start Mondays feeling extraordinarily hopeful and excited, writing about getting motivated and finding what you love with each one of my posts. However, today’s post is not about that. It’s been a while since I’ve talked about my struggles and things that may not go as well as I want them to. I’ve…

Positive thoughts bring change

For someone that has always called herself a “realist” in order to not admit I was a pessimist, I struggled for a long time to have a positive mindset. I didn’t see the point in hoping for good things when they hadn’t worked out in the past. I always preferred to expect the worst and…

It’s okay to…

Over the last few months, I have learned some precious lessons that I guess if I hadn’t quit teaching, maybe I wouldn’t have learned at all. I was always focused on looking okay and smiling even if I didn’t feel like it. It’s something they drill into you on the job. It doesn’t matter if…

It’s the little things

When you’re going through a tough time there are some things that make you genuinely feel better. They may not solve a problem or offer a lifetime of comfort but for just a little bit of time, they make you feel better. Once a crisis has been averted and things are beginning to settle down…

You don’t have to heal according to other people’s expectations

Healing is a different process for everybody. Some people process events faster and others take a lot longer to come to terms with a new reality and both of these things are okay. I dislike hearing people say “but you have to move on already”, or “that was a long time ago, you’ve got to…

Remember you once dreamed of being where you are now

It sometimes comes as second nature to keep on visualizing the future we want and forgetting about where we are now. The temptation of putting an emphasis on what we want to happen robs us of the moments that are happening in the present. I have fallen victim to this habit in the past because…

It’s time!

There comes a time when you must decide to put your energy towards yourself, investing in your well-being and your future. I like to think there is no better time to start than today. If you’ve spent a lot of time caught up in meeting everybody else’s needs, catering to everyone else’s agenda or even…

Things to start in the New Year

I would like to start by wishing everyone a Happy New Year before I dive into the first post of 2023🥳🥳🥳. I hope you had a great time with friends and family and were able to reflect on everything you’ve achieved in 2022. As humans, we have a tendency to plan ahead a lot when…

Thank you 2022 (A Retrospective on this year)

2022…what a year! I feel like if I were, to sum up, this year in one word it would be: unreal This time last year, I was recovering from work-related stress and writing about how much I wanted to find a new path and leave a job that made me extremely unhappy, in 2022. I…

Use your energy to create and grow

As someone that worries like it’s a full-time job, I know how difficult it is to let go of that anxiety about the world, your life and your future. I’ve had a few weeks now spent worrying that my business isn’t doing very well, thinking I must be failing at something and that’s why things…

Shift your energy towards what you can control (#Monday Motivation)

It is human nature to worry endlessly about the things we cannot change. We sometimes give ourselves a hard time for words we should’ve said, actions we should’ve done, or thoughts we should’ve had in the past, making ourselves miserable for the present things we can’t control. We do it in the hope of never…

Show yourself how much you can depend on who you’ve become

As we approach the end of the year, I can’t help but reflect constantly on the person I’ve become in the past twelve months and I hope you can take a minute of your day to do the same for yourself as we slowly reach the end of 2022. This year has been about growth,…
