This Monday morning I want to plant the seed of joy and calm. I want to see if I set deliberate intentions, I can shift the way that I perceive and experience my days. It’s hard when you have a brain that wants to run ahead and open mental tabs on all the things that…

I find myself being afraid of the good things being real. I find myself falling into mental traps that I’ve worked so hard to overcome, but there is always new scenarios that trigger them. This is a lifelong journey, there’s no point in punishing yourself for not being able to let go of the things…

We can’t control the future, we can’t always guarantee that what we put in, we will be able to get out. There are stronger forces at play here, but they’re not there to punish you or to hurt you. Life is not your opponent trying to win the game by knocking you out. Life is…

Being here, requires you to let it all go and that can be really difficult to achieve, especially if you’re pressuring yourself…

One of the most thought provoking and powerful sayings I’ve heard is “God is always answering our prayers, it’s just sometimes the answer is No”. It really helps you pause and realise that we don’t always get what we want. Yes this can feel unfair and upsetting, but it is the way of life. If…
