018 How Helping Others Helps Us, Too (In Honour of Queen Elizabeth II)
The fascinating thing about having purpose in life is that we all crave the need to help others. But serving others should not be a planned act; it should stem from a place of awareness and compassion. The late Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is a prime example of this. She lived a long and meaningful life, fulfilling her commitment to serve until her very last breath. I decided to dedicate today’s session to show my appreciation, love, respect, gratitude, and honour for everything she stood for and valued. What You’ll Learn: - Why we ought to honour Queen Elizabeth II - The power and beauty of living a life of service - Why you need to learn to serve people without expecting anything back - Service is not sacrifice - How to become happier through serving others - Why you need to teach your kids how to give - Understanding other people’s love languages What comes to mind when you think of living a “good life?” For most people, a good life can only be defined by one word - more. More money, more cars, more clothes, more friends. But ask yourself whether that’s an ideal way of living, because no matter how big an impact we wish to have in this world, if it is not in service to others, it doesn’t really count.

015 What is Toxic Positivity and How to Change It
Having a positive approach to life is good for your mental health, and that's a fact. We all want to live in this perfect utopia full of joy, happiness, and satisfaction. But the reality is that life will sometimes be full of painful emotions and experiences. These emotions will be unpleasant, but they are important and need to be embraced with openness and honesty. In today's episode, we'll take a deep dive into the world of toxic positivity, how to avoid it, and the consequences of trying to suppress emotions that aren't happy or positive. What You'll Learn: - What is toxic positivity? - Understanding the things that make positivity toxic - Valuing happiness versus prioritising positivity - Why it's okay to be negative sometimes - How toxic positivity encourages self-sabotaging behaviour - The drawbacks of repressing your feelings - Choose to talk to people who validate your feelings - Understand that you can't force happiness - Why we need to normalise not being okay Toxic positivity is the "good vibes only" approach to life that encourages people to ignore difficult emotions. While positive thinking has its benefits, it's almost impossible to think positively all the time. You need a balance between positivity and negativity in your life. So when you find yourself feeling particularly down, don't force happiness. Sit through your darkest emotions, validate them, and move on when you feel ready.

The word self-care is everywhere at the moment. Everyone's using it from marketers, influencers, coaches and just everyone.

Being selfish, on the other hand, means draining someone else's energy to improve your own. So always protect, love, and replenish yourself, but not at the cost of someone else's self-care efforts.

005 How to Trust in the Universe
Today I'm going to touch on something which has been key to my transformation and my journey into peace and serenity. I know this might trigger some people, but I believe trusting in the Universe can help set you free. Unfortunately, society today places more value on staying in control and living an organized, structured and planned life. This is where we go wrong, because the Universe has the power to dictate how we exist in this life. What You'll Learn: - The first step to connecting with your spirituality - The difference between religion and spirituality - Understand that sometimes not getting what you want is a gift - Overcome the overwhelming win/lose mentality - How to trust that the universe is working for your greater good - The benefits of having a strict morning routine - How to connect with your inner soul - The power of journaling and having a gratitude list Think of all those moments when you felt like you needed to surrender and trust that things would work out. Think about all those times you felt overwhelmed by fear, worry, or stress that you felt there was no end to all the misery. No matter how it looks from the outside, nobody is ever truly in control of their lives. And once you accept this fact, you'll step into a state of surrender, which is one of the most pleasurable and freeing ways to live.

As it turns out, most people have trouble loving themselves inside and out. Being okay with all the various pieces of yourself can be hard. But with some practice, you too can find true self-acceptance. What You'll Learn: - The process of finding self-acceptance - How to overcome the "I'll be happy when…" mentality - The main stages of the self-acceptance journey - Embrace the things that make you unique - How to let go of the things you cannot change - How to use self-acceptance to control your emotions - Embrace your abilities and ignore your inner critic The first step to self-acceptance is learning to accept the parts of yourself you believe to be negative or undesirable. That's not always easy, but when we stay in denial, we are staying in the problem and end up attracting even more of that problem. Everyone has their own unique journey to self-acceptance, but I believe we can all learn to be comfortable in our own skin.

003 How to Stop Spiraling Thoughts from Consuming You
Have you ever been exhausted, longing to go to bed, and when you put your head on the pillow, your mind starts racing, and one terrible thought leads to another, and soon your thoughts become a nightmare. I experienced this quite a lot during my healing journey, and I know overcoming spiraling thoughts is not easy. But no matter how valid each of your thoughts feel, they are simply thoughts, and you can choose to change them whenever you want. What You'll Learn: - How unchecked negative thoughts lead to uncontrollable spiraling thoughts - Understand the momentum train and how you can stop it - The Emotional Scale and how it works - How to break the cycle of spiraling negative thoughts - Conscious awareness and the path to healing - How to acknowledge the emotional roller coaster when you experience it When spiraling thoughts come knocking, it's important to take a moment and just step back from them. Analyse what's causing these thoughts and remember most of them are not based on truth. Treating spiraling thoughts is neither easy nor is it prescriptive, however, there's always something you can do and it always pays to ask for help.
