Progress, No Matter How Taxing And Dauntingly Slow It May Seem, Is Still Progress And Still Worth Being

Thoughts-> emotion -> behaviour -> action -> habits -> results

It all starts with your thoughts.

Your brain has the ability to visualize both the past and future. This means we’re not only able to relive difficult scenarios from our past but also imagine worst case outcomes that haven’t even happened yet.

Your mind doesn’t distinguish between what’s imagined and what’s real. When you repeatedly think about stressful situations or dwell on negativity, your body reacts as if those scenarios are actually happening. You have the power to turn on the stress response with your thoughts alone.

Unfortunately, our brains are wired to focus on the negative, imagining worst case scenarios, worrying, and even sabotaging ourselves.

When you’re constantly visualizing stress or living with a negative mindset, your body struggles to escape fight or flight mode. Instead of relaxing, your brain keeps releasing stress hormones to protect you from perceived danger even when no real danger exists.

However, a stressed mind and a grateful mind can’t exist at the same time.

If your thoughts can make you sick, they can also heal you. By shifting your focus to positive thoughts you can help your body relax, reduce stress, and promote healing. It starts with bringing awareness to your thoughts and consciously choosing to focus on what uplifts you.

everyone deserves to hear the words i never did, a karma of sorts

Build your career, habits & daily routines around your desired lifestyle.

To create a life that truly aligns with your values & dreams, build every part of it—your career, habits, mindset, relationships, health practices, environment, and daily routines—around the lifestyle you aspire to.

Think about the kind of person you want to become & design your actions to reflect that vision. This means choosing a career that fuels your passions, developing habits that support your goals & surrounding yourself with people who uplift you & creating an environment that inspires you.

“And sometimes I have kept my feelings to myself, because I could find no language to describe them in.” -Jane Austen

“First love does not mean best love. And best friends may not mean best friends forever. But they both mean at some point, somewhere, someone did care. And their memories still there.”
