There is very little in life (if anything) more important than our RELATIONSHIPS. How connected we feel to others is a strong predictor of our happiness and our feelings of self-worth.


From a neurobiological standpoint, we are wired for CONNECTIONS. Our deeply connected relationships can ultimately give us true meaning and purpose.
But, why does it seem so easy for some to create deep connections while it’s hard for others?


Although now I’m able to have healthy, deep connections with others, it wasn’t always the case.


I used to be ashamed of being myself, because I didn’t feel that I was good enough or WORTHY of deep connections. It took a longggg time, many years in fact, for me to work through my feelings of inadequacy and lack of self-worth.


Through that, here are the 4 things I learned about connecting with people in a deep and meaningful way🌻


Sending lots of happiness your way,
Trish

Are you measuring your self-worth FAIRLY? ⚖️ If you haven’t been doing so, then start now.
Your #selfworth isn’t defined by your job title, age, grades, possessions, #income or number of #followers on social media. It’s defined by the kindness you give to others and what YOU think about YOURSELF.

By measuring our self-worth based on external factors and material things, not only will we never feel truly fulfilled in life, we won’t ever be able to feel #TRUEHAPPINESS.

If you’re constantly trying to:
-gain more friends
-earn more #money
-be skinny
-gain more followers on social media
-buy excessive amount of things (that you don’t actually need)
-be #perfect
-be the best at work or school
-be famous

and yet… you still don’t feel #worthy or satisfied with your life, it’s time to shift the focus AWAY from yourself and onto OTHERS in need.

The more we:
-give a helping hand to others
-do selfless acts of #kindness
-learn to care less about what other people think of us
-value our entire self (both the good and the shortcomings);

the more our hearts and souls will be filled with meaning, #joy, and a high sense of self-worth.

"If you light a lamp for someone else, it will also brighten your path." - Buddha

Have a blessed day friends 🌻

Sending lots of joy your way,
Trish

We are ALL flawed. NO one’s life is perfect 🥀 Our #innercritic can be mean at times. But if you really think about it, it is actually just doing its job - trying to protect you.


Though we can’t stop the inner critic from making us go into a #fightorflight mode, we can harness the power of #MINDFULNESS to bring back balance and hope into our lives.


Here are 3 questions to reflect on when our inner critic starts to make you feel #anxious or #unworthy:


1 Would you say this to your five year old self?


We tend to be fast to judge ourselves, slow to appreciate our little milestones. Be mindful to practice #selfcompassion.


2 Is there any truth to what your inner critic is saying?


Practice deep breathing to calm the mind and become more mindful.
Take time to also reflect if there are any valuable lessons to be learned from the experience.
In every experience, good or bad, there is a lesson to be learned.


3 Are you comparing yourself to others in a fair and rational manner?


Eg: In your career, we may think it isn’t fair to compare ourselves to someone who has zero experience in a certain field. Then how is it fair to compare yourself, to someone who has way more years of experience than you in a certain field?


If you feel like you’re drowning at this very moment, filled with self-doubt and #anxiety, please reflect on these questions. I hope they bring you as much inner calm and #positiveenergy as it does for me.


Namaste and blessings to you all 🌻


Truly,
Trish

Feel uncomfortable making BIG decisions? ⭕️❌ Here’s how to overcome that fear 👇

Whether we realise it or not, we’re making decisions all day, every day, in many areas of our lives. 

Understand that not making a decision IS a decision!
When you DON’T make a decision out of FEAR or allow someone else to make decisions FOR you, you are giving away one of your greatest powers.

Learning the skill of #DECISIONMAKING fosters growth, resilience, and wisdom.
INDECISION causes stagnation, #procrastination, regrets, delays in realizing your goals and dreams - or never realizing them at all.

The biggest factor that causes people to not make a decision is FEAR. Some common thoughts might be:
* What will others think?
* What if I can’t figure out how to make this happen?
* What if I fail? What if things don’t work out?

Why do we allow these fears to paralyse us?

There is a certain level of #confidence, self-esteem, and knowing that allows successful people to easily make decisions.

Confidence comes from EXPERIENCE.

Successful decision makers have made lots of decisions throughout their lives in order to gain experience.

Successful decision makers understand something about failure... failure is not to be feared, but to be APPRECIATED. Anything that is perceived as a failure is merely information for a course correction.

If you look at it that way, it’s much less frightening. The only time you fail is when you GIVE UP.

A decision is based on one thing - “Do I want this?”
"HOW" doesn’t really matter.

When you make the decision that you TRULY want something, that you are going to do what it takes to make it happen, all the resources you need will begin appearing.
 
So, go out there, have courage to make decisions. Gain experience. Get some course corrections experiences. #Believeinyourself and create a life you truly love 🙌

Truly,
Trish

Why do we hesitate to set healthy BOUNDARIES, find it hard to say “NO” when necessary, or to LET GO of toxic people and meaningless goals?

Is it because we fear being judged?

Is it because we fear leaving our comfort zones?

Is it because we were taught from a young age to abide by what is socially and morally acceptable and what is not?

But what if that means forsaking our own mental well-being? What if that means robbing ourselves of feeling joy simply because we unknowingly want to please others? To seek the validation and approval of others?

Though these are very big questions to reflect and act on, however, they have the power to SET US FREE from unhealthy beliefs and give ourselves permission to adopt a new EMPOWERING and HEALTHY mindset for ourselves.

Remember, at any moment, we have the power to change our THOUGHTS and thereby changing our LIVES 🌍🙌 Never hesitate to stand up for yourself or to set #healthyboundaries whenever needed because if you don’t take good care of yourself, then who will?

Sending you lots of love and light,
Trish

Anxiety disorder can profoundly impact our lives, beyond the common symptoms of sensitivity to stress. One of those ways, is through impaired cognitive functioning.


When experiencing anxiety, our mind becomes preoccupied with worry, fear, or intrusive thoughts, making it not only challenging to direct our attention to any task at hand, but it also affects our short-term memory functions.


Check out this video for 7 strategies that can help you better manage anxiety and improve both your focus and concentration💡


Wishing you a productive day ahead,
Trish

Asking for help can be SO DARN HARD at times. I get it. We fear people might judge us or think poorly of us.

But here are a few things to consider the next time we feel hesitant to ask for help:

🌿 No one can do EVERYTHING on their own (even superheroes need help at times).
⠀
🌿 Asking for help lets others know we TRUST them, thereby strengthening the bond you share.
⠀
🌿 We give those who help us a sense of empowerment and joy through providing us with the help and support we need.
⠀
🌿 They will be more open to ask us for help in return when they need it, rather than let overwhelm and anxiety take over.

🌿 We feel supported and get to resolve issues a little faster, rather than struggling on our own.

‘Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand… For I, the LORD your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’
— Isaiah 41:10,13

Ask for help and get the support you need. Don’t suffer in silence.

And if you feel you have no one to turn to, I’m just a DM away.

What other small reminders have helped you to open your heart to ask for help when you needed it the most?
I’d love to hear from you 💛

Wishing you a blessed day ahead,
Trish

Whether you're trying to lose weight, trying to learn a new skill, trying to get your life back together after losing a job or a breakup, we first have to look WITHIN 💛
We have to make changes in our mindset, habits, and lifestyle.

If something isn’t working, getting frustrated, giving up, or keep pushing using the same strategies won’t help.
If we keep spinning the same wheel, then how can we expect different results?

‘Change’ doesn’t have to be a scary thing. Think of it as a way to discover new things and experience new emotions and moments!

Here are some tips to help you through a period of CHANGE:

1. Shift your perspective 
-> How you perceive CHANGE or PROBLEMS can make a difference on how much perseverance you will have in your attempts to improve your life

2. Start small
-> Break it up into baby steps as best as you can

3. Try different strategies
-> Don’t just have ONE strategy to solve your problem. Prepare various strategies and back-up plans to increase your chances of success!

4. Seek professional help
-> Reach out to an experienced mentor or coach who is experienced in the area that you are seeking to get help with. Not only will this exponentially increase your chances of success, but it will also potentially shorten the time and energy needed to make your goals happen!🌻

Truly,
Trish

Have you ever wondered why is it that the OLDER we get, the LESS curious we are in learning new things?💡

Here are the 2 main reasons:

(1) A decrease in cognitive function and memory makes retaining new information harder, which makes older adults less motivated to seek it out, which in turn leads to more cognitive decline😨

(2) As we age and experience more things in life, we will start to have the ‘been there, done that’ kind of thinking.

Not to mention, nowadays technology kind of kills our sense of curiosity a little.
If we want to learn about another country, we can learn quite a fair bit about it (maybe not get the REAL experience, but to some degree) just by using Dr. Google.

If we want to try another cuisine, we can easily go to different restaurants that serve the cuisine we desire 🍣 (though it may not taste as AUTHENTIC as it would in the original country!)

💡SOLUTION:
(a) Research shows that if older adults are CURIOUS and INTERESTED about something, they are not only more motivated to seek out information, but they also learn more effectively.

(b) It doesn’t matter if you’ve done or seen something before a million times, practice MINDFULNESS, stay CURIOUS, and pay attention to the LITTLE things 🌻

So remember, stay CURIOUS! That's how you stay #mentallyfit ;)
How do you stay curious about life? Do share with me in the comments below.

Truly,
Trish
