Anxiety is an intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Fast heart rate, rapid breathing, sweating and feeling tired are some symptoms of anxiety. Join me this week as I discuss my experience with anxiety, how I deal with it and ways to self soothe and manage your anxiety.

Your inner child can have a huge impact on your life, find out how to connect with them, heal childhood wounds and reparent your younger version. This younger self (or selves) can have a big impact on how you see the world, yet for the most part you probably go through your days unconscious of them as a force. But the power of your inner child should never be underestimated because they can shape your entire life, including the romantic partners you choose and the career path you take. And even when you think that you’ve replaced your childlike beliefs with grownup or mature viewpoints, your inner child can still be secretly steering things behind the scenes. So isn’t it time that you got to know them?

The world today puts a lot of focus on finding your purpose or passion in life. Phrases like “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” are abound. I don’t fully agree with those statements and I feel like purpose is a bit misunderstood and overdone, but I do agree that having a purpose in your life might make a person happier. No purpose is good or bad, too small or too big, it is all about what you want your life to be and what you are happy with. You don’t necessarily have to “find” your passion and walk around in life until it hits you, purpose is also something you can build and choose.
