Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Learning to Write to Myself and Finding my Passions
Today I'm going to be talking about how to write. I want to discuss writing as a form of self-care and self love. I want to use words to create pieces of writing to inspire others and help myself express my ideas, thoughts and opinions.

Finding Life’s Joys
Take Control of Your Happiness Life is hectic. We often have to play driver, cleaner, counselor and personal shopper for our families or for those we are closest to. It seems that every day is a race against the clock, and there is no finish line in sight. Sometimes we realize too late that we are neglecting our own needs, and it takes a mini meltdown to get us to take self care seriously. Before you throw in the towel and become a hermit, consider the following four suggestions for staying on track.

Synchronicities: The Language of the Universe
I wish I had a record of all the synchronicities I've encountered in my lifetime. Think about those instances where you've had a fleeting thought about something seemingly random, just to have that "thing" show up in your life experience a short time later.

Why Self-Love Is so Fucking Important
All of us have heard the old adage, “You can’t love someone else until you love yourself.” Yet, I personally know so many people who don’t even care about themselves, aren’t able to treat themselves with a healthy regard and respect, or are always looking for someone else to fill the holes inside of them. If there is one thing I can tell you now, I will shout it from the fucking rooftops:

Take Better Care of Yourself
I am a very empathetic person. I really feel for other's pain when they are going through something, and am also someone who will forgive people for when they do me wrong pretty easily. I suppose because I have not had the easiest life that I know none of us are perfect. Regardless, I treat people well, because in this world we should just treat everyone with kindness because we have no idea what anyone is going through. When it comes to myself though I really don't do the best job as being kind to myself.

Transform with Tawanza
“Transforming into my TRUER self. What does 'truer' self mean? I’m not sure.” On the 5th of September I made a commitment to invest at least 31 days into another leg of my self-development and spiritual journey. This was my first dedicated quest to see a drastic improvement in my life.

Self Worth Should Be Priority
Self worth—you need to find yours! I have a strong belief in self worth, I believe it's something that not enough people put first. I feel like many rely on others to make them feel good about themselves; They rely on others to make them feel worthy, beautiful, important, loved, the list could go on. The problem with this is that when that comes to a stop, the average human response is to seek validation from another to feel that worth. And when/if that doesn't happen, desperation comes in to play. You may settle for a partner that you know isn't right or a job that you don't enjoy, because you don't feel like you will find another. Self worth is about saying no to the people who don't treat you right, because you deserve the best. Many people rely on a romantic relationship, friends, family or a job for a sense of identity but it is important to ask yourself who you are, without your attachment to others. Ask yourself: What are your beliefs, what do you want to achieve in life, what makes you happy, what do you want to be remembered for, what's your dream, what drives you? And if something or someone was to come along and try to push you in the opposite direction of your dreams & ambitions, how would you react? Would you give it all up for another who didn't support or believe in you; or would you remove yourself from a situation if anyone was to try and jeopardize your dreams? Deep down you know exactly what you're capable of. There will be moments where you get a glimpse of all the potential you have. You will get there. You just have to be willing to sacrifice the habits, objects, relationships & situations that are standing in the way of your success. I have walked away from people that have tried to hold me back, because I know my potential, I know what I want & what I deserve. Life is short, too short to waste your time with people that don't see what you're capable of. Surround yourself with like minded others, who support you. Don't allow people with toxic intentions negatively affect you, it comes from understanding what you deserve.

Getting over the Fear of Vulnerability
Here’s a deep part of my soul that I normally share with very few… however, if I’ve taken this step to ask other’s to share their stories with me I’ve got to do my part and share mine too. So, while it’s scary to share—here is something I want people to know.

Are You a Thermostat or a Thermometer?
Every day of our lives, we face interactions with people that drive us crazy. When we lose control of our emotions, it’s hard to see how we could have found a way to calm ourselves down. When we get upset, shocked, surprised, anxious, or sad, we need to remind ourselves that we do have the power to not let our emotions get the best of us.

Crashing Into 30: Chapter 1
I woke up early today. Really fucking early. I wasn’t sure what had stirred me, but I was acutely aware that for the last 24 hours my brain had been spinning with thoughts. I suspect my sleeping brain had grown tired of manufacturing thinly veiled metaphors for me to dream about, in an attempt to teach me life lessons. Life lessons that I would inevitably disregard when I awoke. Even my own brain has given up on me.
