“To Descend Is Also God’s Will” – Radical Acceptance, Depression + A Poem

It's been roughly a year since my last episode of depression began. That might seem like a sign that it was seasonal-affective induced. However, more than any other time of year, I typically associate late spring with being the time that I typically start to experience depression; so I think that the arrival of winter… Continue reading “To Descend Is Also God’s Will” – Radical Acceptance, Depression + A Poem

Thoughts On… Affirmations + Thought Control

The theory that thoughts create reality has become somewhat popular lately. The buzzwords 'affirmation' and 'manifestation' have been popping up everywhere.

Inheriting A Lack Mentality

Patterns often repeat themselves within families. Genetics is commonly used as an explanation for this. Addictive personalities, disposition to depression and anxiety, abusive relationships maybe.

Manifestation Series: Overcoming Doubt + Working With The Law Of Attraction

"Our dreams come into fruition when we align our thoughts, our feelings, our beliefs with them." - Alyse Brautigam Doubt is an insidious thing. It can weave its way into so many aspects of our lives and remain largely undetected. How many times do we neglect to align our actions with our higher selves out… Continue reading Manifestation Series: Overcoming Doubt + Working With The Law Of Attraction

Self Permission – Setting Intentions

My life lately has been defined by reassessing a lot of the things I thought I knew and the beliefs I thought I had. I've been saying yes to more things and liking things I didn't think I would. I feel like I'm looking back on beliefs and practices I used to cling to strongly… Continue reading Self Permission – Setting Intentions
