I was invited to Global University Systems' Mental Awareness Week Guest Speaker Event where I shared three practical tools that can help you tackle anxiety constructively. Here you can enjoy the engaging seminar and Q&A.

Learn from Your Emotions, there’s Nothing Irrational about Them

Most of us have grown up in a culture that values rationality over emotions. As a consequence, we’ve overlooked emotional intelligence and haven’t paid much attention to developing powerful emotional tools. In this blog, you’ll find the spiritual and scientific premises to honour your emotions as much as you do your rationality, and to take them seriously and constructively.

Unlearn Who You’re Not

Many contemporary coaching methods – actually, this dates back to Socrates – assume that we already have all the resources, answers and tools we need inside ourselves. So why don’t I always feel happy, calm, confident or resilient? Where are those tools when I need them most?

How Do I Feel When People Lie to Me?

How Do I Feel When People Lie to Me?

Sometimes, when people lie to us, we react by losing trust in people in general, we keep others away, we no longer open up, we even lose confidence in our judgment and in ourselves. We feel there’s something wrong with us because someone has lied to us. But if we remove “to us” from the equation, everything changes.

That Big Question that Haunts You

Sometimes we face dilemmas and decisions that are so important we just can’t seem to find an answer. We get frustrated, anxious and even obsessed. We get stuck. A great way to get unstuck is to stop looking for an answer and just observe the question… in a different way.

What Would I Do if I Had No Fear?

What Would I Do if I Had No Fear?

Our first reaction to fears is often to go into survival mode where fears paralyse or overwhelm us and all we can do is either hide or run away. But it doesn't have to be like that. We can also learn from fears and live our lives in expansion mode.

Don’t Let Mistakes Derail You

Last week I was interviewed for a podcast and, at a certain point, I made a mistake. The inner voice in my head went ballistic and almost derailed the whole interview. The podcast, eventually, went super well, and I learnt a lesson about how much we demonise making mistakes while, in all honesty, they’re part and parcel of the splendour of all the things we do.

Whoever Gets Offended First Loses

Last week, I saw some profound suffering in my mum while she was telling me the story of a relative “disrespecting” her. And I could see how she was holding on to that suffering even weeks later. Sometimes, we feel disrespected by others, we feel hurt and hold on to that personal pain for long, but there can be more empathetic and constructive ways to handle these situations.

The Journey Is What Brings Us Happiness, Goals Just Set Directions

Are you working hard toward a goal right now? Do you think after you achieve it, you'll feel happy? If so, you're actually falling into an unhappiness trap because, in reality, we don’t have control over whether we achieve our goals or not. We can “do our best,” but in our head we mix it up with “controlling the outcome” (an exam, a job, a pay rise, a relationship, etc.) which, in reality, depends on a myriad of people and factors outside our control. This way, we actually end up giving away control over our happiness and deep wellbeing. But there are empowering ways not to fall into this trap.

My Partner Doesn’t Make Me Happy. He Makes Me Grow

In a love relationship, we often look for happiness and solutions to our problems. This puts an extraordinary burden on the relationship and our partner, while the responsibility for our happiness should be only ours. What can we build a healthy relationship on? Self-awareness and growth.
