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.

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...

Dear soul, do you often feel the relentless pressure to be right? This journal entry explores the cultural and historical roots of the fear of being wrong and how this rigid worldview unconsciously controls our lives, breeding intellectual hostility in the world and within us.

“There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers…. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.” Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) Walden; or, Life in t...
