Let it go

“Let it go, it is not worth getting upset about that”. Sounds familiar? Yep. I heard it way too many times. To me, letting go is not that simple. The more we try to suppress our emotion, the stronger our emotion gets should the same situation emerge in the later day. And I am sure […]

Fear & Resistance

On New Years Eve, I started thinking about what would unfold for me next year : I would graduate as a Life Coach, and possibly be starting as one. I would be getting a long-service leave this year. What do I want to do after? This could be a new beginning, I thought to myself. […]

Ego: a Friend or a Foe?

Many books about mindfulness seem to suggest that the ego is an impediment to attaining inner peace. Sometimes though, I wonder if we can actually use it to our advantage? When I read inspiring quotes and affirmations, I witness my own ego working to my advantage… For example, this week I read these words by […]

Each New Day is a Gift

While waiting for my food to be ready, I grabbed the newspaper lying on the bench next to the counter. I don’t normally read newspapers because they are generally filled with so much depressing news.

The Power of Commitment

That day in 2016, when I finally declared that I no longer want to feel super-anxious and live in fear,  I started exploring my options to feel better. I did not have to look very far…There was this woman at work who always seemed to have a calm composure amidst stressful situation at work, called […]

Love or Fear

I launched my blog just hours before going on holiday. New beginnings. Yay! Holiday. New house. New course.  *EXCITED* However, when I returned home from holiday, that excitement quickly turned into panic. Work. Study. And moving house – All in the same week! Looking back, I can see how my fears took control of me during […]

Internal Arguments

Throughout this particular morning  I closely watched what was going through my mind. Wow I never realized I judged this much. So many thoughts imagining what I could have done better! As the day began, I contemplated whether or not I would like to get brekkie from the nearby Maccas or to Brumbys which was […]
