why is being alone with your thoughts so hard? // meditation walks! 13.10.2023

Getting quiet enough to be alone with your inner thoughts is hard! Not everyone (me) is suited to sit quietly in a dark room in order to meditate. I highly recommend giving meditation walks with the universe a try!

I'm stupid! You're stupid! We're all stupid! (and its fine!) 06.10.2023

Oh yeah, I'm also angry and inconsiderate and depressed and extraordinarily happy! The more we can accept that we as humans contain every single emotion, the more whole we will feel! Stupidity was a really tough one for me to accept but a recent event showed me that even stupidity has its gifts!

How do you deal with you own feelings of anger?

I'm angry, inconsiderate and rude and thats okay! 22.09.2023

Today I'm talking about dealing with extra hard feelings like anger and how pushing them down only gives them more control over you! I started reading a book called "Dark Side of the Light Chasers" by Debbie Ford (commissionable link) and its given me great insight on my "shadow" self aka all of the emotions I pretend I don't experience when the truth is, human beings contain ALL of the emotions a...

growing up is weird and WAY too much pressure! 15.09.2023

Do people ever really feel "grown up"? Grown ups, please weigh in in the comments and let us know what age you finally felt "grown up"!

Active Relaxation: Self-Care for Anxious People! 08.09.2023

Self care may be bubble baths and hot chocolate for some people, but for anxious people like me, it just doesn't hit the same!

Do ALL Anxious People Have Trust Issues? (or just me?) 01.09.2023

Trust issues and anxiety go hand in hand and it can be really frustrating! We want our loved ones to feel like we trust them, but our anxious brains make it hard to let go of control.

Perfectionism Recovery is HARD 11.08.2023

As a recovering perfectionist myself, I get how difficult it is to silence the voice in the back of your head saying "Nope, not good enough. Try again." Perfectionism loves people pleasing loves anxiety! But there is hope! We just gotta keep telling ourselves we'll never be complete. We'll never know everything!

Social Media Breaks: a game changer for mental health 14.07.2023

Taking breaks from social media has had a hugely positive impact on my mental health. I didn't realize how much Instagram, Tik Tok & Twitter were affecting my anxiety until I took a break.
