THE WHITSUNDAY ISLANDS

January 1, 2018January 1, 2018 ~ Sara ~ 1 Comment

Visiting the Whitsundays felt like taking a break from Earth and visiting heaven for a weekend. It was a weekend of many first experiences and each one was better than the next, and some are worth sharing here. It was my first time sleeping on a boat. I never knew so many people could fit … Continue reading THE WHITSUNDAY ISLANDS

Book recommendations pleaaaaase 💁🏽‍♀️⁣ ⁣ The Personal Growth Book Club’s read in April was The Code of an Extraordinary Mind by @vishen Lakhiani (highly recommend!)⁣ ⁣ I’m turning to you guys for recommendations on next months read. Only 2 rules apply:⁣ ⁣ 📚 Personal growth related ⁣ 📚 Entertaining as well as valuable ⁣ ⁣ Go! 🏁⁣ ⁣ (DM me in you’re interested in joining — meeting up virtually at the end of each month) ⁣ 💙🤍

👇🏽How many of the things below have you done to cheer yourself up?⁣ ⁣ 📸 Taken a trip down memory lane through photos ⁣ 🧳 Virtual travel thanks to Google ⁣ 🧁 Made snacks for everyone but ate it all⁣ 🎥 Started & finished a Netflix series in one day ⁣ 🚶🏽‍♀️ Long walks with no destination ⁣ 🏞 Discovered new places ⁣ ☎️ Called a friend ⁣ ✨ Listened to Oprah’s SuperSoul Sundays ⁣ 😴 Afternoon naps ⁣ ⁣ What else friends? (I’m feeling meh 😕 today, like a cold coming in & need suggestions)

Passion-hoppin’⁣ 🤸🏽 ⁣ I studied psychology at uni thinking I’d be a therapist,⁣ ⁣ Then I explored event planning with the hopes of becoming a wedding planner,⁣ ⁣ Then back to psychology and the potential of becoming a school counsellor, ⁣ ⁣ And after that I went down the travel blogging route.⁣ ⁣ All while having the daunting question in the back of my mind, constantly asking: “what is my one true passion in life?”⁣ ⁣ I listened to a podcast by @elizabeth_gilbert_writer the other day and fell in love with the way she made sense of it all. ⁣ ⁣ She said, although there are people who have one single passion throughout their entire life (like herself being a writer), there are so many that go through their lives exploring different passions. Those are following their curiosity. And not only is there nothing wrong with that but most often, they actually end up finding their place in life. And so much good has come out of it. That is why, my favourite author here, tells us to follow our curiosity rather than our passion.⁣ ⁣ I loved this is much I had to share. If you’re like me and this question has kept you up at night, I encourage you to listen to this beautiful podcast. You won’t regret it.⁣ ⁣ And like always, if this sparks something in your mind and you wanna discuss it with someone, you know where to find me.

💭 Can I borrow your thoughts for a minute?⁣ ⁣ Have you ever had those days when your mind is so loud you can’t hear your heart? ⁣ ⁣ Sometimes I think my mind is my biggest enemy. Some of the things she says to me, I swear she’s never said it to anyone else I know.⁣ ⁣ Trying to tune her out has been an ongoing practice (and I’m sure it will be for the rest of my life). Some days I do well. I let her babble on in the background as I’m getting on with my day. But some days it’s impossible.⁣ ⁣ So what I do now is borrow someone else’s thoughts for the times my own are not nice to me. I plug in my headphones and listen to podcasts. I call a friend. Or I read a book.⁣ ⁣ To quote my little sissy’s wisdom who once out of nowhere said: “don’t you think it’s such a blessing that our brains don’t have the capacity to focus on two things at once?”

Whatever you’re struggling with right now, is exactly what you need to be working on.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What’s been your biggest challenge to overcome during this time?⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Loneliness?⁣⁣ Anxiety?⁣⁣ Boredom?⁣⁣ Overwhelm? ⁣⁣ Overthinking?⁣⁣ Over-eating? (me 😳)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Whatever has come up in the past few weeks is exactly the lesson universe has for you. This is a test, how are you gonna show up for it?
