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…

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…

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…

Approach your goals gently (#Monday Motivation)

As much as I wanted to get this blog post out last week, I couldn’t😓. I was out of the country for over a week and I just couldn’t spare a minute to breathe much less write. But I am BACK and this post is the perfect one to write after a bit of a…

Dip your Mondays in glitter and sparkle all day

Mondays don’t need to have such a negative air about them. We, as a society, have made Mondays hated and joyless because they take away our weekend and the opportunity of having more time off. In my case, Mondays have started to affect my Sundays as well, making me worried and stressed about what is…

Start believing in your dreams

There is a big focus on the journey towards success in everyone’s lives. Questions like, what am I going to do? or how am I going to do this? are always present and always leave us with a feeling of “It’s never gonna happen” because we put so much pressure on ourselves but also because…

Monday motivation

As the Monday blues come upon many of us, I just wanted to share this list of things we should perhaps carry in our minds more often. It’s okay to have a bad day Not all days will be filled with happiness and enjoyment. Some will try us and push us to our limits, but…

I am stronger than I was yesterday

With every hurdle and every step on the latter we get closer to the person we want to become. We get stronger with each day and we get to build our armor ready for battle. We grow from pain and despair, and that pain contributes to our strength. Imagine yesterday, when perhaps like me you…

Happy Friday!

As we near the end of this week I want us to look back and absorb all the emotions felt during the week, all the moments of hardship but also those of joy. Take it all in and allow some space for your body to tell you what it needs. Allow your mind to focus…

Trust the process

A process of change can get hard and claustrophobic when you’re not sure of where things are going and how they’re going to develop in your favour or if they’re ever going to do so. You’re supposed to trust the wait and yet you feel like you’re wasting time that you should be using to…

Keep going until you make it!

Amongst a lot of negative thoughts running around in my head right now, I choose to focus on this quote today and think of the day when I can say ‘I made it’. My life-long dream has become to leave my current situation behind and start a new chapter of my life somewhere else. To…
