Mentally
Mental well-being is essential for a healthy and fulfilling life. To become whole mentally, it is important to prioritize self-reflection and self-awareness. Take time to reflect on your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and try to understand the motivations behind them. This can help you identify any patterns or behaviors that are hindering your mental well-being, and give you the tools you need to make positive changes. Consider seeking therapy or counseling to help you work through any mental health issues or challenges.
In addition to self-reflection, engaging in activities that promote mental well-being is also important. This can include mindfulness practices such as meditation, journaling, or yoga. These activities can help you manage stress, improve your mental clarity, and develop a greater sense of inner peace. Additionally, surrounding yourself with positive and supportive individuals can help you to maintain a healthy and positive outlook on life.
Physically
Physical well-being is equally important for leading a healthy and fulfilling life. To become whole physically, it is essential to take care of your body. This includes engaging in regular physical activity, eating a balanced diet, and getting enough sleep. Exercise is a powerful tool for boosting energy levels, reducing stress, and improving overall health. A balanced diet rich in vitamins and nutrients can help to nourish your body and provide the energy you need to stay active. And getting enough sleep is crucial for physical well-being, as it allows your body to rest, recover, and recharge.
In addition to these physical self-care practices, it is also important to prioritize self-care and make time for the things that bring you joy and fulfillment. This can include hobbies, social activities, or simply taking time for yourself to relax and recharge. By prioritizing physical self-care, you can maintain a healthy and active lifestyle, and avoid burnout and exhaustion.
Spiritually
To become whole spiritually, it is important with your inner self and explore what gives your life meaning and purpose. This can involve practicing mindfulness, exploring your beliefs and values, and engaging in spiritual practices such as prayer or meditation. Additionally, volunteering or participating in community service can also help to provide a sense of purpose and fulfilment. By connecting with something greater than yourself, you can gain a greater sense of peace and fulfil your life. Spirituality opens the door for faith and faith then allows for peace to be created.
In conclusion, becoming whole mentally, physically, and spiritually requires a commitment to self-reflection and growth. By prioritizing self-care, engaging in activities that promote well-being, and connecting with your inner self, you can improve your mental, physical, and spiritual well-being and lead a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

The Quiet Choice That Changed Her Life
Her job was to smile, check people in, answer the same questions, and pretend she enjoyed it. Tourists came and went. Business travelers complained about late flights. Her life stayed exactly the same. Every evening at 9 p.m., Emily walked back to her rented room, reheated leftovers, and scrolled through social media. She watched people talk about new businesses, fitness journeys, and creative projects. She double-tapped their posts but never imagined herself doing anything like that. She told herself she was being realistic. Her parents liked that she had a steady job. Her friends said she was lucky to be employed. Even her manager once told her, “You’re reliable. Not everyone is.” Reliable began to feel like a cage. One rainy Tuesday, a guest left a notebook on the counter. It was thin and blue, with a quote on the cover: If not now, when? Emily opened it to find pages filled with hand-drawn sketches of buildings, cafés, and streets in Brussels and New York. They were beautiful—simple but full of life. At the back, a note was written in careful handwriting: “Started drawing at 42. Wish I had started at 22.” Emily stared at that sentence long after the guest had returned to collect the notebook and thank her. That night, she couldn’t sleep. She thought about all the things she used to enjoy before life became about rent and schedules. As a teenager, she loved designing logos and posters on her old laptop. Teachers said she had an eye for detail. But after school, she went straight into work. Art became something she “used to do.” At 2 a.m., she opened her laptop and downloaded a free design app. She told herself she was just playing around. No pressure. No dream. Just curiosity. Her first design looked terrible. Her second looked slightly better. By the third night, she was watching tutorials and copying simple layouts. She designed fake café menus and event flyers. No one saw them. No one praised them. But something inside her felt awake for the first time in years. Weeks passed. Emily began waking up an hour earlier to design before work. Her mornings became her secret world. The hotel still felt dull, but it no longer owned all of her energy. One day, a small bakery near her flat put up a sign: “Opening Soon – Logo Needed.” Emily walked past it twice. The third time, she went inside. “I saw your sign,” she said quietly. “I’m learning graphic design. I could try to make something… if you want.” The owner, a tired woman with flour on her apron, smiled. “If it’s better than what I have now, I’ll use it.” Emily spent two nights working on that logo. When she showed it, her hands were shaking. The owner’s face lit up. “This is perfect.” She paid Emily £40. It wasn’t much. But it wasn’t about the money. It was proof. Emily created a small online page to show her designs. She offered cheap work to local shops, cafés, and small businesses. Some ignored her. Some said no. A few said yes. Each project made her braver. Six months later, she had five regular clients. She designed menus, Instagram posts, and simple websites. Her hotel job paid the bills. Her design work fed her confidence. Then something unexpected happened. A café owner in London shared her design on social media. A restaurant in Belgium messaged her for a menu design. A small brand in the U.S. asked for a logo. Emily started working evenings and weekends. She was tired, but it was a good tired—the kind that comes from building something. One year after finding the blue notebook, Emily stood in her manager’s office. “You’re resigning?” he asked. “But you’re doing well here.” She smiled politely. “I don’t want to be reliable anymore. I want to be responsible for my own future.” Her first month as a freelancer was scary. Some days, she had no work. Some days, she had too much. She learned to budget carefully. She learned to say no. She learned that confidence grows when you keep your promises to yourself. Two years later, Emily worked from a small desk by her window. She had clients in the UK, the USA, and Belgium. She still wasn’t famous. She still wasn’t rich. But she woke up knowing her time belonged to her. One afternoon, she found an old photo from her hotel job—standing behind the counter in a stiff uniform, forcing a smile. She didn’t hate that version of herself. She thanked her. Because that version chose not to stay comfortable.
