We all go through ups and downs but why is it that some people decide to take the ‘downs’ as an opportunity to grow and develop? No one wants to feel unhappy so I’m on a mission to help others improve their well-being through personal development and internal growth.
Meditation can help with developing an awareness of the storm within so we can better understand the ‘self-talk’ running in the background. By going into the storm, it can help us feel more ‘at ease’ with being alone with ourselves, and start to notice the ‘self-talk’ program our mind plays.
When we’re under stress, it’s easy to forget to help out our gut and immune system so they can function to the best of their ability under pressure. By looking after these two important parts of the body, the brain will also function better. This helps us to then make better decisions, and navigate stressful situations better.
Change is hard, and it can often hurt, physically, mentally and emotionally. But often what hurts more, and is a much longer process, is doing nothing and accepting it. We tend to believe that changing is too hard when in fact, a swift and more brutal approach, is more likely to be less painful in the long run.
We can support those around us in different ways. Support comes in different forms. We have to do what we can in our own unique situation because we are all different and just trying to do the best we can. Start with your family, your community, and then beyond.
The reality is, life can suck sometimes and when a giant spanner is thrown in the mix, it can be challenging to bounce back into the game of life. When this happens, we can either end up being a spectator on the sideline, or a player in the game.
