​Some questions can only be answered by the future you.
 
Questions like…
 
👉 “Will it be worth it?”
 
👉 “Am I making the right decision?” or
 
👉 “Is this where I’m supposed to go next?”
 
… can only be answered in the future.

Instead of finding evidence for why you can’t do something, look for evidence for why you can. If there’s a desire in you that sparks joy, aliveness, and excitement, it is your job to move towards it and pursue it.

You don’t need a selfless reason to do something that makes you feel good.“ Just because I want to” is reason enough. Do it for you!

​Thinking about doing something is not the same as doing it.
 
The only way to become good at something is to simply do it. Not just think and dream about doing it, but actually do it, because there is no substitute for the experience.

We believe that if we accept the conditions and experiences we don't like, it means we approve of them, and that once we approve of them, we are doomed to being slaves of those conditions.

It is easy to focus on what other people are doing or not doing, how they are being wrong, and what they should change to accommodate our discomfort.
 
It’s much harder to be anchored in integrity and practice the very things we expect from others.

Before your habitual thoughts, states, and behaviors take over, pause for a moment to reflect on:

• How you want to feel

• What you want to focus on

• What you want to prioritize

We are not meant to live in states of overwhelm, anxiety, and lethargy.

We are meant to grow, learn, and evolve through our challenges, not be defeated by them.

Stop dwelling in what didn’t happen yesterday.
​Today you have the opportunity to try again, to be better, and to do better.

Audio books can be a hit or miss for me, but this one is beautiful narrated and captivating to listen, not to mention it’s filled with wisdom and insights. Here are a few of my favorite quotes:
It’s better to follow the universe than those around you.

Do you struggle to make a decision or do you tend to ask everyone else for their opinion first?

​Or maybe you feel like you know what you want but when you hear a different opinion you start questioning yourself?

It’s so tempting to believe someone has all the answers for you. But this is not the case. We have a natural tendency to avoid discomfort and want to skip through the hard stuff (no judgment, I prefer things to be easy too!).

Even if it feels like an experience you had in the past, you haven't lived this moment yet. Let yourself fully experience it without seeing it through the eyes of the past. 

Progress is when you realize you’re in a place that so many past versions of you longed to be in. It happens as a result of a work no one can do for you but yourself and there's no way around it but through. 

​Balance doesn't mean we equally give attention to every aspect of our life. It is about knowing what matters to us, and what our needs, values, and priorities are. The below suggestions are based on my personal 'rules' so feel free to take what resonates and adapt them in a way that makes sense to you. Redefining balance is not about forcing yourself to mimic someone else's way of living, but creating your own so it is sustainable with your lifestyle.

​As soon as we start believing we know everything about ourselves, we stop learning.
 
Self-inquiry, curiosity, open-mindedness are some of the most powerful tools for healing and growth, because they challenge our assumptions and rigid beliefs we hold about ourselves - often beliefs that are misguiding us.

Our imagination is so much more powerful than our reality. By imagining something that's not real, we create real feelings in the present moment. Let's say you imagine a future outcome not going your way, or if you think about an uncomfortable memory that took place at some point, you will start to evoke feelings as if that event is happening in the present moment.

When it comes to tips on confidence, you've probably heard of the good old advice to "fake till you make it." 

​A subtle way in which we give our power away is by imagining that others are thinking about us and judging us, and then making decisions based on these imagined judgments.
