THE ART OF SELF JOURNAL

I healed myself of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) It was something I never thought possible, but it is. Now because of it, I think, what else is possible. Let me take you back a little... A life experience I endure when I was 20 had a huge impact on me in many ways, I thought there was something wrong with me, in my mind, that I was different, that my mind worked differently or thought differently and it's just the way I was now. For many years I experienced anxiety

If you want anything to work for you in life, Then become fully committed to it. Drop all that doesn't fit and go for it, on the things that do. It's about being consistent with it all. It's about finding a way, It's about doing the work. And knowing that when I say work, It's about putting in the time & effort, Facing up to the challenges along the way mixed with space, love, fun & joy. Excuses gets you nowhere, They only wrap around you and hold you still. Holding onto you

There's a fine line in thinking you know what is for you and actually, truly knowing on a deep level, exactly what is for you. There's a fine line between feeling it vs truly feeling every part, of every emotion, in every cell of your body. There'e a fine line in trusting in yourself to fully, wholeheartedly, trust in all of you, in all of life, that you can sit at any stage in life and trust that life will have your back no matter what. There's a fine line between this an

It's another blank page, Another clean slate, Another day to decide and claim what it is you want in this world. Another chance for you to bring that movie real you play over and over again, of the life you dream of to come into reality. Clicking your fingers for it to just be here would be wonderful, for it to all just show up, fall into place as you see it and be here now. But come on let's get real - that' ain't going to happen that way is it. So, it's time to get up and

All those people you look up to, who you hold so high up, your view of them is distorted. Lower them down. Not bring them down, just lower them down in your view so you can look at them in the eye and know you too have great qualities within you, just as you see in them. When you hold someone so high above you, it will only be a matter of time that they do something to disappoint you. Yet when you allow yourself to see a balance of greatness at the same time as knowing they t

If you know in your heart of what you want, If you know in your heart that it is doable, achievable, possible, is for you. Then why on earth are you not doing it, going after it? Why on earth are you holding yourself back from going ahead with all you know is for you. All that you really want for yourself. I'll tell you why... Because you're caring way too much about what others will think or say of you. Because you don't want to upset anyone, Because you're scared about th

The kids are in bed, which means I get some time to sit down and write. There's been so much I've wanted to write lately, I've started, but it hasn't been flowing out, So I'd hit delete and start again.... I'd move to the next thing that came to me... which again didn't' flow, So, again I'd hit delete. It made me think about how many times in life where we've started something that didn't really flow, It brings thoughts, feelings, questions to the surface, And sometimes we w

So many thoughts go through our minds every...single...day Many of them can be lies about who you see yourself as. Where you need to improve, What you're not doing for yourself, Who you maybe should be, You can feel yourself getting caught up in what others are doing that you feel bad about yourself. I want to ask you to stop....stop right now. I know and understand this in itself can be challenging. You want to be able to stop, But the stories, the thoughts can just keep co

By wealth I don't directly mean financial wealth, yet that can and does come into it too. A life of wealth comes in all sorts of ways, By the relationships you have in your friendships, intimately, or with your family. By the work you do everyday, what you turn your hand to, What you create, we're all creating something in our work, How about your health, do you feel a wealth of health, Do you feel rich with all that you fill your life with? Every time you go against what yo
