Before I go into this post, I just want to preface it by saying that I’m writing this in a low mood state. Writing is cathartic and I’m hoping by the end of this post I’ll feel lighter, but just to warn you, in case you too are in a dark place right now, that [...]
I've said this before, and no doubt I'll say it again, but it's hard to get what you want when you don't ask for it. You know by now that I'm exploring spirituality and getting into setting intentions, manifestation, and generally bettering myself through new means. A common thread within this field is asking for [...]
A lot of the posts I publish on this blog are written in 'high' moments - as in, the times when I am feeling good about myself, motivation about my ideas and plans, or perhaps after some form of success. While I do feel like I get good content out of these moments, I also [...]
As someone who runs this self-development blog, I'm acutely aware of the way that my content might make someone feel. I write about self-development and self-improvement so much because it is an area that I'm obsessed with.

I spoke about coping mechanisms in my most recent post, where I was addressing one particular bad habit that I've developed over the years.

I made several bold statements at the end of last year regarding the changes I wanted to make to my life, health, and habits. Before the beginning of this year - doesn't that seem like a long time ago?! - I decided that I wanted to go on a no buy for the following 12 [...]
If you read my post last night, you would know that I've been struggling with trying to control and manage a few things in my life recently. The past few weeks have felt as though all of my efforts have gone to waste because I'm not seeing any kind of results. Well, ranting and raving [...]
Going with the flow is something I say a lot, but I find it very hard to do in practice. I'm someone who likes to have a plan, to have things figured out, before I try them because I get too overwhelmed otherwise. While this mindset can be useful in some areas, my eyes are [...]
Now is the perfect opportunity to work on yourself and I'm currently going through a process of healing. While there is a lot of work that's going on in the background, and so many things that I still need to learn, I thought I'd share a ritual that's been working for me. This is a [...]
We can be our own worst critics. No matter how hard you work and how big you dream, chances are the gremlins in the back of your mind are always pulling you down. They will tell you that you're not good enough, that you can't do that, and sometimes that you're just plain stupid. Now [...]
