Release your Tension – Let it Go

February 21, 2025 Leave a Comment

The things that are out of your hands do not deserve a permanent home in the sacred sanctuary of your mind.
Release them with the grace of a woman/ man who knows her/ his worth, who trusts the sacred rhythm of life, and who understands that freedom begins within.

Surrender.
You are meant to rise, […]

December 31, 2024 3 Comments

This quote encapsulates a powerful lesson we need to learn about valuing oneself and setting boundaries:
“This year, I learned to step away from people and spaces where I don’t feel valued.
I stopped overexplaining, forcing connections, and seeking validation from others. I trusted my intuition, set boundaries, and removed my energy without guilt.

At its core, abundance is the state of having more than enough of something. Abundance describes a situation of overflowing wealth, resources and opportunities. However, abundance is not just about having a lot of material things.
True abundance comes from a mindset of openness and gratitude. An abundant mindset appreciates what you have, rather than focusing on what you lack. It sees possibility in every situation and finds opportunities all around. […]

Energy Givers & Takers in Relationships

August 7, 2023 Leave a Comment

When it comes to relationships, some people are energy givers while others are energy takers.
When there is a “giver” and a “taker,” the relationship is unbalanced and both partners will eventually suffer. Usually the  “giver” ends up feeling exhausted and resentful, and the “taker” is the one to leave. That’s why we have to learn to balance the energy within our relationships to achieve harmony and happiness.
Energy givers tend to be positive, […]
