The 10-minute journaling practice to optimise your creativity & problem-solving when you’re highly sensitive

The 10 minute journaling exercise to optimise your thought process

Did you know that sleep is an integral part of your thinking process? In his book, Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams*, neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker explains how sleep not only restocks your immune system, fine-tunes your metabolism and regulates your appetite, but also recalibrates your emotions and processes your thoughts. For a long time sleep was a mystery. And science had no answer to the question of what sleeping is good for, what […]

18 imaginative journaling prompts for when you’re feeling stuck and don’t know what to write

18 imaginative journaling prompts to help you when you don't know what to write

I adore Natalie Goldberg’s book Writing Down the Bones. She’s best known for exploring writing as zen practice and inspires you to take the leap and write creatively. Though her advice is mainly focused on different aspects of the writer’s craft, she has a lot of great advice that can be applied to journaling as well. Journaling is a practice that helps you comprehend the value of your life and a wonderful tool for profound self-knowledge through deep internal exploration. […]

Why did I create the Money Mindset Workshop?

Abundance is something I’ve struggled with almost my whole life. Imposter syndrome – thinking that I’m not enough – has been one of the main culprits. I imagine that I originally received it as a gift from someone else (that they re-gifted to me, just like they received it from someone else). I was bullied in school and those experiences planted in me a fear that took root, eventually joining in with my experience of having a narcissist for a parent, […]

What did I learn from taking the Money Mindset Workshop?

I think when it comes to money, sooner or later there’s a wake-up call that happens for all of us. I became aware of being stuck in a very reductionist way of thinking when I realised I was interpreting everything in life from a very negative perspective. I began exploring it in more detail and found that it was deeply entwined with my own self-worth and that, in turn, was deeply entwined with money. And as I began exploring my […]

Your brain is a marvel. A soft, mushy, wet marvel that can change your life. Not instantly, because making sustainable change takes time. And you’re more stubborn than you realise.

Your brain is an anticipatory organ That means that your brain is constantly working in future tense – […]

Why should you journal? Check out the life-changing benefits of journaling that you can use to achieve your goals

the lifechanging power of journaling

Do you have a regular journaling practice? I journal a lot. It’s essentially because of my journaling practice that I’ve managed to achieve any goals in my life. Almost everything started out as either with free-writing in frustration or an “I don’t know how…” journaling exercise. There really isn’t a more powerful way to start attracting and inviting in the things you want in life than getting clear on what you want exactly and why you want it. Writing these […]

Forget trying to become a writer and just write because it’s one of the best ways to declutter your mind. Writing on paper (rather than on a computer or tab) forces your brain to really slow down and think – that’s why I prefer printable templates that I can write on myself. Of course, you can write in any way that is convenient for you – but you should be writing! This is one of the easiest forms of self-expression […]
