thoughts from me to you
Self-regulation
Maybe people think that they require discipline in order to thrive. They think that if they weren't harsh and strict with themselves, they would fall off the wagon and live in squalor, eating take out and never exercising, forgetting to call loved ones or go to...
Soul or ego?
Are you seeing the soul, or the ego?Whenever we feel judged by someone, it's either a mirror for us, or fear coming up for them. I realised today that sometimes I'm interacting with a person's ego, rather than their soul.Whenever an interaction doesn't feel good for...
Being supported
A little reframe, if you notice you are stuck in feelings or fears of lack or scarcity:"I am always supported."This phrase has helped me through many a panicky feeling - if my bank account fell low, if my boyfriend broke up with me, if I got sick, if I broke down in...

Trust
I've been playing around a lot with the idea of trust recently and this is where I've ended up. I am often asked, how do I learn to trust? I don't know if it is a learning, but more a doing: a decision. At some point, you must take a leap of faith. No amount of...
