Lightbearer's Library

Hello dear soul, welcome to the Lightbearer's Library 🕊️ Are you sabotaging your biggest goals before you even start? In this journal entry, we're diving into the Saying vs. Doing Trap —a sneaky psychological phenomenon where announcing your goals gives your brain premature satisfaction, killing your real motivation. It’s like getting applause for a gym membership before you finish the m...

Hello dear soul! I am so grateful you chose to spend this time with me in the Library today.🕊️ If you're feeling that your current "chapter" of life sucks right now, you are not alone. I hear you. In this journal entry, I share the single most powerful act of self-love we can take: rewrite our story. The greatest and most precious story you'll ever author is your own, and if th...

Hello dear soul, welcome to the Lightbearer's Library 🕊️ In this journal entry, we delve into the topic of mental resilience, proving that a positive mindset is not about never falling into a negative thought spiral, but about the speed of our recovery. An emotional dip is fine, but the time spent in it should be minimal to preserve momentum. We’ve all experienced how one small failure, diffi...

Hello dear soul, welcome to Lightbearer's Library 🕊️ If you are an INFP in survival mode, struggling with draining family expectations and the weight of obligation, today’s journal entry is for you. Dealing with intense emotional overwhelm and a chaotic world, many of us intuitive introverts are forced into survival mode, making the difficult choice to temporarily isolate and establish radica...

Hello dear soul, welcome to the Lightbearer's Library 🕊️ In this journal entry, we turn to the words of Alfred Lord Tennyson: "I must lose myself in action, lest I wither in despair." We all know the paralyzing weight of self-doubt, where the gap between desire and reality feels impossible. This video is about recognizing that inaction is where despair takes root, and that action is...

Are you self-gaslighting? In this journal entry I dive deep into the cost of accepting lies —both the ones society feeds us and, more importantly, the ones we tell ourselves. When we accept external untruths, we create cognitive dissonance and a dangerous habit of self-gaslighting . This corrosive habit diminishes, demeans, and depresses us, blinding us to our own potential and the truth of the wo...

Hello dear soul, welcome to Lightbearer's Library 🕊️ In this journal entry, we dive deep into the profound truth that our words bless or curse our life. Our words are not passive descriptions; they are the active creators of our reality. Every time we say "I am..." followed by a negative statement, we are using our tongue as a divine pen to write a script of limitation for our futur...

In this journal entry, we tackle the core of self-sabotage: the dangerous, yet common, belief that we are not quite ready yet to pursue our deep purpose. This need for perfection and tendency toward procrastination is an act of "wrecking" our own future, but the solution is not more planning—it's imperfect action. We explore why we must learn to ACT WRONG and simply take a tiny, fir...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry I encourage us to embrace our inner authority and trust our intuition as we navigate towards a meaning-filled life.  When we step away from seeking the approval of others and instead step into becoming the author of our own lives, we will find greater freedom. Why? Because we are each a unique soul that has come here with a unique perspective. When we foll...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry I dive into the feeling of nostalgia, and explore its role in our search for meaning and happiness in today's fast-paced, tech-driven world. I reflect on the myth of perpetual progress and how technology has impacted our lives. I encourage us to reconnect with the past in playful and mindful ways.  Whether it's embracing retro fashion, rediscover...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry I explore how valuing ourselves as unique individual human beings can transform both our mental and physical health.  I believe our self-identity is the key to building healthier habits. Because when we identify ourselves as someone who exercises, then we are more likely to do so. When we identify ourselves as, say, a vegetarian, we are more likely to make...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry I share a simple habit that will boost our self-esteem and fend off feelings of anxiety and depression. What is it? Dressing our best of course! As introverts (especially INFPs), we can get stuck in a rut and our mental health can start to spiral downwards. So, I suggest we take the time to dress up, even for everyday activities. We’ll start to feel more c...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry I share a personal story of experiencing a "mini miracle" and offer you practical ways to shift your own mindset towards positivity. I explore the metaphor of thinking of thoughts as seeds we plant for our future self. By choosing either positive or negative seed thoughts, we sow our future harvests! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of...

Hello dear soul, Whether you're an INFP personality type or simply facing mental health challenges, in today’s journal entry I encourage us to clean up our spaces as a way to boost our mental well-being. As our inner mental space gets further away from a healthy state, we can notice that our outer physical space can start to become disorganized and chaotic. Then when we think about starting t...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore the concept of obeying our soul, and how it can lead us to lives full of meaning and joy. If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, fearful, anxious or stressed (hopefully not all those at once!), perhaps it’s time to let go of societal scripts and start listening to the guidance of our own soul. Don’t forget to leave me a comment, and join the Light...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore powerful ways to overcome our negative self-talk and cultivate a more compassionate inner dialogue. We can use methods that most of us have heard about, or perhaps already use, like journaling, mindfulness, and talking to others. However, since making my video journals for the Lightbearer’s Library, I’ve discovered an unexpected technique I’d li...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore how overcoming our fear of being seen by commenting on small podcasts or YouTube channels, can make a difference in your own life and the life of small creators! If you’re an introvert, feeling lonely, or seeking more genuine human interactions online, I encourage us to be vulnerable and reach out to creators that are interested in connecting wi...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore the power of our words and their potential to harm ourselves and others.  In our Western culture there is a metaphor that we live by that is described as “Argument as War”. This means conversation is treated as a verbal battle, where there is a winner and a loser. Within everyday speech tactics are used to “attack”, “defend” and “counterattack”....

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore how the podcasts we listen to affect our mental and physical health. As in all times in history, the world is full of “calamity howlers” or those who spread doom and gloom. Many of them are podcasters. Why do they do this? It gets the clicks! But why do we click?! Because of our brain’s negativity bias… yup, our brain is wired to pay attention t...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I share imaginative ways we can break free from the trap of worry. I take inspiration from Harry Potter’s Patronus charm, “The Secret Garden” and even hot air balloons to help us shift our mental state from one of worry and anxiety, to peace and calm. I hope this helps, and I wish you many blessings, Kate — Who's the Lightbearer? Me. Kate Harmony, an...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore the powerful impact song lyrics have on our subconscious. Whether in music, media, or conversations, the words we listen to shape our beliefs and influence our lives. Therefore, we should consciously consider the words and messages in the songs we listen to. By choosing to listen to music that is uplifting and positive we will nourish our mind,...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore the powerful metaphor of your life as a boat drifting in the vast ocean, and how having a clear destination can bring you purpose and direction in this seemingly chaotic world. I encourage us to stop aimlessly scrolling, and instead, take charge of our journey by charting a course to a meaningful destination. Whether it's a journey up the c...
