What Are You Avoiding?
Do you spend a large majority of your time arranging your life to avoid having to deal with ANY uncomfortable situations?
You may be doing this unintentionally or you may be thinking, “Yep, that definitely sounds like me.”

How To Figure Out What You Truly Want
In our society, we are constantly being told what to eat, how to look, who to date, what to study, where to work… the list goes on and on. From the moment we’re born straight through to adulthood, we are constantly told what to do and how to be, whether by our parents, our peers, the media etc.

The Powerful Shift to Putting Yourself First
How many times have you found yourself in this situation?
– You committed to a night on the town with the hubby, but you are feeling exhausted and tired from a crazy week at work.

A lot of times when faced with these types of decision, we are hesitant to respect our own desires and wishes because we’ve been taught that in order to show we care we have to sacrifice ourselves.
Say you make the sacrifice – do you feel joyful, fulfilled and appreciated after the fact?
