Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry I explore how valuing ourselves as unique individual human beings can transform both our mental and physical health. 

I believe our self-identity is the key to building healthier habits. Because when we identify ourselves as someone who exercises, then we are more likely to do so. When we identify ourselves as, say, a vegetarian, we are more likely to make dietary choices that align with that identity.

So let’s stop being ourselves, and intentionally take on some healthier identities that nurture our well-being!

I wish you much health,

Kate

Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry I share a simple habit that will boost our self-esteem and fend off feelings of anxiety and depression. What is it? Dressing our best of course!

As introverts (especially INFPs), we can get stuck in a rut and our mental health can start to spiral downwards. So, I suggest we take the time to dress up, even for everyday activities. We’ll start to feel more confident and when we’re out and about we’ll see that confidence mirrored in the people around us.

So ditch your sweatpants and give it a try!

I wish you many blessings,

Kate

Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry I share a personal story of experiencing a "mini miracle" and offer you practical ways to shift your own mindset towards positivity.

I explore the metaphor of thinking of thoughts as seeds we plant for our future self. By choosing either positive or negative seed thoughts, we sow our future harvests!

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of the world, this entry will inspire you to stay focused on the small things that are already going right in your life.

Please join the Lightbearer’s Library community for more journal entries that I hope will help you feel more grounded, human, and connected in today's fast-paced world.

I wish you many blessings,

Kate

Hello dear soul,

Whether you're an INFP personality type or simply facing mental health challenges, in today’s journal entry I encourage us to clean up our spaces as a way to boost our mental well-being.

As our inner mental space gets further away from a healthy state, we can notice that our outer physical space can start to become disorganized and chaotic. Then when we think about starting to clean up, we can feel overwhelmed and anxious! Not a great combo.

So, today I share small practical ways we can start cleaning up our rooms as a way to empower ourselves and spiral upwards to better mental health!

Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry, I explore the concept of obeying our soul, and how it can lead us to lives full of meaning and joy.

If you’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, fearful, anxious or stressed (hopefully not all those at once!), perhaps it’s time to let go of societal scripts and start listening to the guidance of our own soul.

Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry, I explore powerful ways to overcome our negative self-talk and cultivate a more compassionate inner dialogue.

We can use methods that most of us have heard about, or perhaps already use, like journaling, mindfulness, and talking to others. However, since making my video journals for the Lightbearer’s Library, I’ve discovered an unexpected technique I’d like to share with you!

If you're struggling with harsh inner criticism, I hope this journal entry can help you nourish self-love and kindness. 

Join me in creating a supportive community of lightbearers and celebrate the beauty of embracing our authentic selves in this chaotic world!

I wish you many blessings,

Kate

Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry, I explore how overcoming our fear of being seen by commenting on small podcasts or YouTube channels, can make a difference in your own life and the life of small creators!

If you’re an introvert, feeling lonely, or seeking more genuine human interactions online, I encourage us to be vulnerable and reach out to creators that are interested in connecting with their viewers.

Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry, I explore the power of our words and their potential to harm ourselves and others. 

In our Western culture there is a metaphor that we live by that is described as “Argument as War”. This means conversation is treated as a verbal battle, where there is a winner and a loser. Within everyday speech tactics are used to “attack”, “defend” and “counterattack”.

I look to Eastern philosophy, especially India’s concept of Ahimsa (non-violence or non-harm) as an antidote. With this concept in mind we can start to observe the words we choose when speaking to others as well as the self-talk we direct inward.

I also share how learning about personality theory (Carl Jung’s cognitive functions, along with the Myers-Briggs framework) has changed my outlook of right and wrong, winner and loser. It helps us to see that every individual has a different perspective and that instead of assuming they are wrong, we can instead cultivate curiosity in our conversations with those we may not agree with.

Join me on this journey of self-awareness, and I hope that together we can foster more compassion and kindness for ourselves and others!

I wish you many blessings,

Kate

Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry, I explore how the podcasts we listen to affect our mental and physical health.

As in all times in history, the world is full of “calamity howlers” or those who spread doom and gloom. Many of them are podcasters. Why do they do this? It gets the clicks! But why do we click?! Because of our brain’s negativity bias… yup, our brain is wired to pay attention to dangers in our environment and the creators of media know this.

Here’s the thing though, by paying attention to fear-driven content, it sends our thoughts spiraling into negativity. As we know, our thoughts affect our mental health as well as our physical health. Just notice how your body feels when you’re angry vs when you’re happy!

So, to be happy and positive, we must turn our attention away from podcasters who trigger fear and anxiety in our minds and choose more positive uplifting media.

I hope this helps you to feel more positive!
I wish you many blessings,
Kate

P.s. Here's the quote from today's entry:

"Be sure and not take on false suggestion. The world is full of calamity howlers. Turn from them, every one, no matter how great you think they may be. You haven't the time to waste over anything that is negative." Ernest S Holmes "Creative Mind and Success" (1919)

P.p.s Here's the video of why you should rethink the songs you listen to: https://youtu.be/582adujXZpY

Hello dear soul,

In today’s journal entry, I share imaginative ways we can break free from the trap of worry.

I take inspiration from Harry Potter’s Patronus charm, “The Secret Garden” and even hot air balloons to help us shift our mental state from one of worry and anxiety, to peace and calm.

I hope this helps, and I wish you many blessings,

Kate
