Life Lessons : Everyone You Meet Has Something To Teach You- Learn From It. #Inspiration #Motivation #selflove

There is a purpose for everything that happens to you and especially when it comes to everyone you meet. Some people will test you, some will use you, some will bring out the best in you, others will abuse you but everything we face is another priceless experience which takes place for us to learn and grow from and everyone will teach you something about yourself, something  you never knew or fail to accept & recognise. As a spiritual person, i practice the teachings of Buddha and I believe each experience we go through with individuals we meet is actually a blessing and has only happened for you to learn the most valuable lessons and each being specific to you and necessary for your personal growth and development. Each prepare you for the next chapter of your journey with every teaching you take another incredible step towards expanding your consciousness.

Valentine's Day: The Meaning of The L Word and Why it's important to Practice Self-Love.

As Valentine's Day approaches I see more and more posts on social media almost putting pressure on the majority, posts that make many feel like they are lacking just because they do not have a significant other, then the dreaded peer pressure sets in, and the need to feel normal, the need to impress friends by being who they want you to be, the need to be perfect, the need to belong- well call me boring but all that is "superficial", as long as you have love living in your heart, your flesh, your bone, you are rich and lucky.

Happy New Year 2024: Let's Kickstart This Year With Some Positive Vibes.

I can not deny that 2023 was not a smooth trip , I am however glad to see we all made it through. Many people I know lost someone last year, 2023 was filled with a lot of ups and downs and I am not saying 2024 will be kumbaya all the way through because life doesn't work like that, I am however saying that we should take each day as it comes, be grateful for the experiences (good and bad), to try and infuse more positive energy into what we do, to find pleasure in spreading love and not hate, greed or malice.

Happy Halloween ; My Favourite Quotes and Sayings To Get You In A Spooky Spirit This Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

The trick-or-treat day is here. As you all know Halloween takes place on October 31, the evening before All Saint's Day. Halloween costume parties, carving and decorating pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns (which I enjoyed doing), lighting bonfires, pulling practical jokes, visiting haunted houses, and watching horror films are all ways to commemorate the dead during this eerie celebration.

The proverb "Each to their own" holds true, and I appreciate all customs, faiths, and spiritual practices. You don't have to condemn or disapprove of anything just because you don't agree with it or think it's true. My approach is to identify the positive aspects of a situation and turn them into my own.

Today's post will also be filled with a few of my aesthetically pleasing photos of my Halloween-themed cupcakes.

Learning the art of Fall cocooning: How To Slow Down and Appreciate The Simplicity Of Life.

 What is life? Shouldn't life be so easy and simple? why do we spend time complicating it for ourselves and each other? Why can't we all just get along, and spread more love and less hate in the world? These are the kinds of questions I ask myself daily, and each day I come up with different answers and definitions of what I think or feel life should be or look like. To me, life is a song, a beautiful song that soothes the soul yet it tests us every single day.

Happy New Year : New Year, Same Energy, New Goals + 13 Quotes To Live By In 2023.

As you look forward to leaving certain memories of 2022 behind and entering 2023, take inspiration and hope with you so that you can start afresh and complete the things you started but did not complete last year. I truly hope you are able to navigate this year easily without letting anything or anyone hold you back. When a new year comes along we often hear the saying -"New year, New Me" lol but most of the time many of us end up doing the same things we do over and over again, but if you were able to re-brand and own your energy last year then this year might just be a tad bit easy for you to navigate through.

In this post, I will share some of my favorite quotes that help keep me sane. 

Merry Christmas: Wonderful Tips On How To Stay Happy During The Festive Season.

 🎄⛄Christmas is not just about what's under the tree, it's about who's gathered around it, The way you spend your Christmas is far more important than how much you spent getting ready for it, Some people could spend a fortune and still be so moody and unhappy on that day, It's all down to the vibe and energy around you on that day that's why I say Christmas is not a season, It's a Feeling.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year ahead.

Lifestyle: Reasons Why Protecting Your Energy And Aura Is Very Crucial.

There is so much negativity going on and it becomes draining because while dealing with these happenings in the world you also have to deal with people I like to call "Energy Vampires".

Who are Energy Vampires?

Energy vampires are emotionally immature individuals who have the sense that the whole world revolves around them. They are almost incapable of seeing things from another person's perspective. They often lack empathy, they drain the life out of you and leave you feeling like an empty shell afterwards.

I know you are doing all you can to stay sane, happy and positive even though it can be so hard especially during hard times, give yourself a pat in the back for all you are doing no matter how small because it is not easy especially with all the sadness and negative energies in the world today, I recently lost a very good friend/sister of over 10 years, she passed away so suddenly and it was a huge blow to my chest, however, I have to try to be strong and positive.

Lifestyle: BEST COCO CHANEL QUOTES ABOUT FASHION, LIFE & LUXURY.

I love Chanel, my family says I am the Chanel Queen when they see my Chanel Shrine Table lol, but not just because of the physical Items, it's what it stands for and what it means to me personally. 

It's rather sad that People think when you surround yourself with luxury you are materialistic unfortunately this is not the case for everyone.

Lifestyle: Never Stop Believing In The Beauty Of Your Dreams.

We live in a world where people are quick to let go of their dreams and aspiration either because someone did not believe in them enough or they saw someone doing better than them and they gave up. We live in dark times right now, the world is filled with naysayers, negative people, toxic energy, energy vampires, and Ill-Wishers who enjoy seeing others suffering and struggling- believe me I have come across people like this so I know exactly what I am talking about.

Lifestyle: Everything In Life Begins With An Idea.

A good idea becomes great when you let it out, many of us today are stuck with loads of ideas but unable to get it out and make it a reality, we are sometimes scared of our own thoughts and ideas, I always say if it is a good idea, let it out, set it free, let it fly and watch how it would glow.

Lifestyle Tips : Things I Do To Keep My Self Mentally And Spiritually Balanced During These Dark Times.

Meditation
I know a lot of people enjoy Meditation, but after doing further research I realized that some people don't enjoy it, Some feel it's too long a process, and some actually find it boring.
Here is what I think- At first when I started meditating I hated it. It took so long to finish, listening to the Guided Meditation got so boring I Stopped and tried other things. I then returned to the basic things I do like, Playing with my Crystals, Burning sage to get rid of negative energy around my surroundings and myself, I enjoy using my Cards and Dice but I still felt drawn to the idea of mastering the Act of Meditation, I tried it again and slowly started liking it, or maybe I liked the voice of the speaker in the Guided Meditation, It was so soothing he put me to sleep so quickly, Since then I have not stopped Meditating. Another good thing about it is this- there’s research suggesting that the practice of meditation may reduce:

Lifestyle And Relationships : How Important Is Consistency In Our Daily Lives And Relationships?

Many who know me are very aware I am a true "Capricorn Female" and also a true believer in the word "Consistency", I always tell people - if you begin an adventure or a journey a certain way, stick to it, the minute you relax and divert from your course things will go crazy, and as we have seen in the world today many friendships, relationships, business partnerships have gone down the drain due to lack of consistency and also the influence of Social Media and Ideal Gossip.

Wednesday Motivation- Stop Apologizing For Your Emotions. #selflove #love

Sometimes it’s hard to admit what you’re feeling. You feel like you shouldn’t be upset when you are, or you get really super excited over the little things in life that make you smile. And no one seems to understand why you feel the way you do, But like I always advise people do not apologize for feeling the way you do.

 Always say what you mean and mean what you say. Express how you feel and don't ever apologize for being real, i always say in life you will realize that people will love the idea of you but with lack the maturity to handle the reality of you. No matter how hard you try, you can never please everyone. Follow your heart, make the most of every day, and be proud of who you are. Everyday I learn new things in life, I am so grateful to the universe for taking me through different difficult paths in life, i have had to learn the act of "forgiveness" and sending out good vibes and energies , I have learnt to never feel the need to put my emotions aside to please anyone and even though it does backfire as you will come across people in this life who never like to hear the truth , still never apologize for your emotions, remember you are magic , people will hate you, rate you, shake you and break you, But how strong you stand is what makes you.

Self-Love - Why Loving Yourself Is Very Important - Here Are Ways To Practice Self Love. #selflove

Being kind to yourself helps you bounce back, live healthier, and stay on track.

Self-compassion and Self-Love is a way of relating to yourself that does not involve harshly judging or punishing yourself for every mistake you make, or every time someone does better than you.

“Self-compassion involves treating yourself with the same kindness, concern, and support you’d show to a good friend. When faced with difficult life struggles, or confronting personal mistakes, failures, and inadequacies, self-compassion responds with kindness rather than harsh self-judgment, recognizing that imperfection is part of the shared human experience.” (Neff & Dahm, 2015)

Adopt a mindful attitude in which you deliberately pay attention to your inner experience so that you can notice when you are beginning to shift into a negative state. The minute you realize that you are thinking negative thoughts about yourself or feeling anxiety in your body, stop and say to yourself, "This is a difficult moment," or, "I’m feeling distressed in my mind and body.” Trust me, people, I have experienced this time and time again to the point I blamed myself for failing for letting people into my mind and making me feel weak and helpless but I had to tell myself "NEVER AGAIN", once you notice you no longer do the things you love doing, once you notice you are beginning to become a stranger to yourself, once you notice you let go of your inner desires and needs for greatness just to please others then it is time to "Let Go" and start doing things for yourself, stand in front of that Bespoke Mirror and say 

" I am Beautiful"

"I am Strong"

"I am Good Enough"

"I am who I want to be"

Practice daily affirmations. Our thoughts precede our emotions and behaviors.

*Recite mantras that encourage self-compassion. Bring your attention to being good to yourself.

*Journal your strengths and everything about you for which you are grateful. Document everything you accomplish, feel good about, do right, like about yourself, etc.

*Keep your self-talk positive. Turn down the volume of your inner critic and choose to be your best coach or cheerleader.

Smile, Laugh, Love, Be The Happiest Version Of Yourself, Let Go Of Pain, Of Hurt " Of Sadness, Let Go Of That Grudge you are holding onto as it will only bring you bitterness, Choose to be Happy and the rest will fall into place

*Set aside time for daily mindfulness practices such as meditation, deep breathing or progressive muscle relaxation. These devotions will help you connect with your highest self.

*Make time for leisure and hobbies. Time for play and enjoyment is an important aspect of celebrating the gift of life.

*Prioritize sleep and exercise. You must reboot and revitalize your physical being.
