How we think about ourselves and our abilities directly impacts our actions, behaviors, and relationships. A growth mindset means success comes with constant personal development. However, it doesn’t necessarily mean staying positive all the time. Instead, that development comes from consistent learning and perseverance. 

A growth mindset is a basis of understanding that where you are and where you want to be requires effort. It doesn’t just happen because all of the pieces fell together. Without a growth mindset, you can find yourself stuck. 

When you adapt to a growth mindset, you become more willing to accept challenges, try new things, and build new skills. A growth mindset allows you to manifest something and continuously work towards it because you know that you can do it with development.

Many people shy away from the term growth mindset because it can sound intimidating, but with a few simple steps, you can quickly shift towards one. Here are a few key...

Have you ever found yourself in the space of questioning? You are unsure of what's next, and clarity is lacking. We let these emotions weigh us down and put us in a negative state. This is where the role of gratitude shines through. Gratitude is an emotion that grounds us and raises our vibration out of the negative and into the positive, which can shift our entire mindset. Why? Because we simply sit in a space that allows us to reflect on what we have and all we've been given. 

Gratitude can help you get clear by focusing on the positive aspects of your life. When you are grateful, you are more likely to see the good in people and situations, which can help you make better decisions aligned with your spirit. When we are grateful, we are more likely to be happy and have positive outlooks on life. Additionally, gratitude can help us to build strong relationships, as we are more likely to show appreciation for others. We begin to incorporate mindfulness into our routine.

Feeling disconnected from yourself and your purpose isn’t an unfamiliar feeling. Many of us long for a deeper connection to our souls and our purpose in this world. We find ourselves stuck in a season that is no longer serving us. However there are many ways you can connect with your soul on a deeper level, but we are unaware of how we can put these practices into our daily lives. Below are some methods you can begin to implement to help you connect to your emotions, thoughts, and, ultimately, your soul. 

Pay attention to what is expanding and depleting your energy. By connecting with yourself and becoming in tune with what is naturally constricting your energy, you will be aware of the aspects of your life that no longer serve you. 

Mediation is one of the critical tools in quieting your mind and connecting with your innermost thoughts and feelings. It’s one of the most natural ways to foster connection. However, they need to become a consistent part of our...

We all experience differently. How we handle stress and pressure is dependent on many different factors. We all have different responses, whether it's fear, anger, sadness, or withdrawal. And, since we all require different approaches, there is never a one-size-fits-all approach to creating stability when we feel we're on a hamster wheel and can't get off. 

However, there are some general things that can help people to stay calm during times of uncertainty. I've outlined a list of tangible tools that have worked in my own life when things begin to feel out of control. 

Self-Care

Self-care is one of the quickest stress relievers, and it's an easy way to shift my energy. A bath or a long shower is an excellent way to release stress and relax. Immersing yourself in nature is another great way to reconnect with the universe. Whatever you find to be the most relaxing for you, seek that. 

Gratitude 

Expressing gratitude can help calm you down by making you feel more...

Society has guilted us into believing the myth that putting yourself first is selfish. Why, as a society, are we devaluing the importance of putting ourselves first? Taking care of ourselves is fundamental. 

We often hear the phrase “you can’t pour from an empty cup,” and while it’s a great quote to refer to, it’s incredibly realistic. If you are running on empty, how can you possibly pour into your family, friends, or job? You can’t. Taking care of yourself puts you in a position to be better for those around you.

Your Best Self Comes Alive

I no longer put myself before anyone, I’ve done it before, but I won’t do it again. My energy was depleted, and I put myself on auto-pilot resulting in constant burnout. I wasn’t the best version of myself, which was very clear to those around me. I put myself first because I want my energy to be vibrant, my happiness to overflow onto others, and the world to see the best version of who...

Turning your dreams into reality sounds complex, right? Well, with the right tools and strategies, it’s possible. Some way or another, we are all out there trying to live our best life, otherwise known as manifestation. Manifesting is a powerful strategy for setting goals, connecting to yourself, and making dreams a reality. 

But manifesting your life doesn’t happen overnight. It requires intention, growth, the connection within yourself, and strategies to make these dreams real. You are constantly working through your thoughts, actions, and emotions. Here are a few essential tips when it comes to manifesting your life. 

Be Clear about Your Wants

Make a list, write it down, and get excited about what you want. To make something happen, you have to know what it is that you want the outcome to be. Gain clarity through meditation and intentional thoughts, and pinpoint what it is that you genuinely want. 

Connect With Yourself

If you don’t really know...

When we meditate, we allow our bodies to rest in several different ways. Meditation is used for various reasons, some being more obvious than others. Meditation can serve as an avenue to begin the day, while others may practice meditation for managing stress, anxiety, and clarity. 

Meditation plays a significant role in our bodies' overall physical, mental, and emotional states. Meditation has been practiced for decades by numerous cultures in various capacities. Ask anyone who practices meditation, and they will be able to tell you the positive effects it has on their bodies. I wanted to take a minute to share some of the many benefits I have experienced with meditation. 

Clarity

It's easy for our brains to enter a mental fog. We constantly consume input all day, and obtaining clarity can be challenging. Practicing meditation allows us to clear our minds and think more clearly. My mind often wanders from one thought to another leading to an overwhelm and a pull in all...
