Unraveling with Nikki Alaras

I find small pleasures in my everyday life, such as tight hugs, going on walks, and exchanging smiles with strangers. In this episode, I'll expand on the small pleasures that help me practice gratitude.

For years I've struggled to find natural dopamine and found stimulated dopamine through social media. Recognizing my habits, I'm learning to find healthier alternatives. I'll elaborate more on that in this episode.

I miss having conversations with people I grew up with and catching up. I love reconnecting with old friends and talking about anything and everything.

Whether it’s family or friendships, we can always practice for forgiveness. Letting go the things you’ve bottled up can help alleviate the weight you carry. It’s not easy but it’s necessary for you to grow.

what does that look like? in this episode, we'll dig deeper into what that looks like.

I want to be secure within myself; to do that, I need to learn about myself. In my loner era, I learned about independence and how much I was capable of. Being in a new relationship I'm learning even more about managing my impulses. Listen to find out what I've learned so far.

Lately, I've been doing things that make my younger self happy like dressing up to literally go for a walk and journal by a body of water, dancing in the kitchen while I cook, and journaling more often.

I often find myself trying to capture the moment rather than live to enjoy it. Maybe it's because I try to maximize the feeling of each moment.

We all have them. Let’s dissect what mine are and how I overcame them.

Recognizing your symptoms when you feel off is important. Giving yourself space to release until you feel like yourself again is necessary for self-care, that is self-care.

Growing up I had to translate what I was thinking in my mind before I spoke. Given that English was my second language, I listened to understand and comprehend what people were trying to say rather than respond. It was difficult to value my voice when I was the one who was trying to understand the world around me.

It should be a required class to take before you graduate high school. Too many people are in debt due to a lack of managing their finances.

Love has been something I've been trying to avoid these past two years. Lately, I've been allowing myself to release all assumptions and surrender to the possibilities of happiness.

I tend to avoid conflict because of how people I care about might respond and how it could affect our relationship. I also tend to shut down when I'm having a depressive episode or not feeling like myself. In this episode, I break down the reasons why.

I’ve noticed that I’m my most authentic self when I’m alone, accepting the darkness and the void that’s within. Acknowledging that it’s all beautifully a part of me.

Every day I'm learning to slow down, which means surrendering to the present. I'm allowing myself to open up and feel again. I've been so closed off these past 2 years focusing on school and minimizing distractions that I've been so numb. I had a bad habit of assuming potential relationships and friendships that I never pursued. Learning to surrender to the present means risking th...

I got my aura read and he said something that made me realize I haven't taken the time to know myself, which is why I'm so unsure of what I want to pursue. In this episode, we're going to unravel the reasons why.

This is a gateway to change. This focuses on renewal and creating new relationships with new friends, as well as renewing your perspectives. This is a time to manifest and create a sacred space for you to unravel unresolved issues from the past and let go of too-familiar habits that make you stay stagnant. It's a time for release and renewal.

As I'm growing into my most authentic self, I'm learning to be more honest with who I really am and what I want. This is who I've always been, it was a just a matter of when I wanted to be honest with myself. I hope this episode inspires those who are struggling to come out since I never had anyone tell me that it's okay. It's okay to simply exist as you are and be proud of it.

I love how sensitive I am because I feel things in a deeper level, creating deeper connections and relationships with people.

not really sure what I want to do either. but we're never really lost if we don't know where we're going.

We're so overstimulated that we become desensitized to the world around us. We become so numb that we lose focus on what's really important. I've spent a year trying to rediscover my creativity, immersing myself in art galleries to feel inspired, attempting to read books without curiosity, and surrounding myself in nature to reconnect. I've realized that the best way to find your f...

when you grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually you glow from the inside out.

To truly do what I want, I have to be honest with myself and come into terms that it's okay to feel lost. If we can't find a path, we create a new one. It starts with knowing what I want and recognizing my patterns. I tend to go back and think of things that are familiar, whether it's emotions or a memory. We often get even more lost when we go back to what's familiar, because we&#...

When I don't feel like myself I isolate myself in nature and listen to her. I ask for guidance and breathe, slowly and deeply. I sit and recognize the things that trigger my anxiety, now I'm trying to avoid those things. It's about recognizing and realizing the things that shake you and learning to sit with stillness and slow your breaths.
