It's the same principle that successful people and entrepreneurs live by - learning from and being in a high vibrational environment keeps you focused. If you surround your Self with people who have automatic negative thought patterns, are not aligned with their words and actions, do not value or respect themselves, then this i

Most of us want a delicious, conscious, unconditional Love. To me, it's more important to figure out our own wants and needs, who we are as individuals and as Soul beings, instead of living by familial and societial expectations and rules. There's been a couple of times, where if I had been untrue to my Self and living according to these expectations and conditions, I may have settled for less than I deserve. I’ve learnt that reprogramming my belief systems and conditional s

I used to feel guilty about everything… and I mean everything, and most of the time unnecessarily. Feeling that way so often was having an impact on my mental and emotional health and I needed to make a change. Playing with Guilt My friend, Guilt would swing by all the time… Being late for work one morning, not being able to answer the phone to my mum when I was in a work meeting, not being able to meet friends because I already had plans, not reading enough, reading too much

Photo by Kamaji Ogino on Pexels Growing up in a working-class family, we were raised to eat everything on our plates. Wasting food was not an option.

Being present It’s important to be present in whatever it is that you’re doing, or try to be at least. I’ve consciously noticed on several occasions when I am thinking about ten gazillion other things whilst talking to someone about something else. The good thing is that I’ve noticed it. So I’ve raised my level of awareness – bonus! This allows me to bring myself back to the present moment. Make time for your Self I actively try to ensure I have time for myself, whether that’

Some people exercise 3-5 times a week, eat lean meats, or no meats, never drink or smoke, or do drink and smoke and perhaps it does all balance out in the end. Who knows? Our needs are different It’s important to have the right balance for you. And only you can assess what works or not by becoming aware of your choices, how they make you feel and the impact

The modern lifestyle Today, we’re constantly on the go… school run, sleeping on the way in, working all day, eating on the go, work, sleeping on the commute home, dinner, kids, bath time, bed time stories, cleaning, television or movie, bed and ground hog day. If this isn't your scenario, then surely it looks something like this version... exercise, get ready, juice on the go, read on commute (wait no commute anymore - straight to laptop), work, make dinner
