THE ART OF SELF JOURNAL

There are so many people out there mastering the work they do in this world, Becoming the go to person in their field, in their industry. Wanting to be the best trainer, the best electrician, dancer, accountant, builder, photographer etc.... Which I think is amazing and I'm all for that 100%. But what about yourself, what about mastering YOU! We think it's ok and great to master the work we do, and although it is apart of who we are (especially if you're already doing what y

I never thought I'd be one to think about energy on a deeper level, let alone talk about it as it seemed all a bit woo woo, and wishy washy. I've been looking at it and playing around with it all a lot lately and the more I do the more I am so amazed at how it works in a practical sense. We are all energy, everything we touch is energy. Energy can feel good and not so good, but either way it's our choice in what energy we want to work with each day. I've been really enjoyin

Every photograph has a story to tell. This photograph right here is what gives me the drive to be the best mum, nana, daughter, sister, friend, business woman and what ever else I choose...I know I can be. This photograph reminds me of how far I have come in so many ways, but more so in a mindset way. On the days that I need a little push, a little reminder, it's this photograph that gives it to me. In this portrait of my daughter Summa and I taken in Taupo, I was riddled

Everything you have done & experienced, Every person you have meet, Everything you have in your life, Everything that you have lost. None of it was a mistake or a failure. It was, it is, actually a gain. I get that in some cases, for somethings, it's so hard to understand or even see that. To think everything has been a gain in your life, because I know first hand it doesn't feel like that. Those things that were so painful, those things you wish you could take back, that yo

Are you just throwing a whole lotta shit into your self storage thinking you'll clean it up another day, that you don't have the time, that you don't have the energy for it, that you can't be bothered. You know it will all stay a mess, until you do something about it. Until you start to declutter and get some order back in there. Until you start to filter out what belongs and what doesn't, Until you start to take care of that self storage, it will stay the same. So what are

One thing I find so attractive in humans is their certainty within themselves, in what they do, in how they do it, how they walk through life exuding such certainty. You can see they are owning who they are and all that they have to give in this world. Their certainty shows the love, for what they do and for those around them. Having certainty is a choice, it's something you can practice, it's something you to can obtain for yourself, within yourself. I see the certainty in

We've all caved at some time or many times in our lives into temptation knowing that when we do, for a moment (a quick moment for that matter) it will feel sooo good, comfortable, even exciting maybe. Your mind has the ability to trick you into thinking that this is what you want, just for this moment. You even have the ability to justify the actions you want to take or even convincing yourself that this will be the last one or the last time. That it won't hurt just this onc

I know there are days when you're feeling a bit worse for wear. Like everything is coming all at once and you need a break from it all. Maybe you're feeling a little broken, or even smashed to pieces in some cases. Just know you're not broken, not at all, you're simply just breaking open to become stronger within yourself. Breaking open is setting you free if you can just see the lesson being shown to you. Just as the old Japanese art of repairing broken artefact by painting

Where in your life are you finding it challenging? What ever comes up for you, know this is your chance to heal that area of your life. Don't allow yourself to just brush it off, think it'll be right, think you have to harden up and just deal with it. If you do, it will never go away. It will keep resurfacing until you deal with it, until you heal it. Look at what beliefs you've been holding on to around it. Look at what it all means for you to still hold onto it. Look at ho
