“The river does not struggle to reach the ocean.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh I have not set resolutions in many years, because I have always seen how I can never live up to them...and then when I can't live up to them, I feel crappier than even before I set them. Instead I choose a healing intention for the whole year.

As we arrive at the final few days of 2025, many people notice a subtle heaviness in the air, a quieter, darker, more inward energy. From the perspective of growth and reflections this is not something to resist. It is a natural descent into reflection. As Carl Jung wisely said, “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”

The holiday season has a way of magnifying our inner worlds. For some, the end of year holiday arrives wrapped in excitement, warmth, and connection. For others, it presses on tender places like grief, loneliness, exhaustion, financial stress, or the simple weight of trying to “feel festive” when that isn’t how the heart actually feels. If you are struggling this holiday season, know this: …

If you’ve spent most of your life prioritizing the comfort, needs, and expectations of others, consider this your gentle invitation back to yourself. You are allowed, truly allowed, to choose yourself first. In fact, your well-being depends on it! As a recovering people-pleaser myself, I know all too well the pitfalls of needing to please everyone but myself. To the point of self-sabotage!

“May the gratitude in my heart kiss all the universe.” ~ Hafiz Gratitude can mean many things to many people, but in its simplistic essence it means “being thankful”. It’s developing the attitude of gratitude for everything in our life. Big or small. Good or bad. All great spiritual masters, thought leaders, successful entrepreneur etc. have emphasised the need to live in gratitude for true success.

Rumi’s words have stirred something sacred and tender within us for centuries and still continue to do so. That deep longing to return to the truth of who we are. His poetry speaks not only to mystics but to every soul navigating the complexities of being human. I began reading Rumi's poetry when I was 12 years old, because my dad's book case was full of Rumi, Gibran and many more.

“Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace.” ~ Joan Borysenko I used to think I can take any amount of pressure in my 20"s. And I did excel under pressure at the time. I would study until late for exams and then go take them on 2 hours of sleep. I did and still do work well under stress.

Part of spiritual and emotional maturity is recognizing that it's not like you're going to try to fix yourself and become a different person. You remain the same person, but you become awakened. ~Jack Kornfield Part of healing is also growing emotionally. To be specific, emotional and spiritual maturity is what happens as we heal. I'm more of a personal growth and personal development junkie, always have been.

I’m always exploring ways to bring mindfulness and healing into everyday life, beyond the meditation cushion, beyond the therapy room, into the heart of daily routines. Jenny Garufi’s new book, The 3-Minute Shower Reset – 21 Days to Inner Peace, is a beautiful example of how small, intentional moments can become portals to transformation. From the very first pages, I felt a sense of calm wash over me (no pun intended).

Positive Affirmation: “I am healing with every breath I take.” There isn’t just one kind of healing. Over the course of my own healing journey, I have realized that healing isn’t linear, and it’s rarely graceful. It doesn’t always look like doing yoga flows early in the morning or journaling in a cozy corner or meditating to the sound of ocean waves.

“We are all butterflies. Earth is our chrysalis.”~ LeeAnn Taylor For me, transformation hasn’t come from big, dramatic changes, it’s come from the small, steady practices that reshape the way I see myself, others, and the world. These are the habits I lean on, and I share them with you not as rigid rules, but as invitations.

“No" is a complete sentence. ~ Annie Lamott When I was growing up, I saw how self-sacrifice was celebrated over self-awareness. Because of whatever I witnessed, I learned to override my inner signals consciously or unconsciously. I did this in the name of being “good,” “helpful,” or “strong.” That's where the People Pleaser in me was born...And, the cost of this conditioning was profoundly wounding on my mental and emotional health.

"Because weight loss is really a mind over matter thing." I was always the chubby and bubbly girl growing up. Always. Ask any of my friends and they will say YES so fast its not even funny 🙂 And I loved being that way. I had fun eating what I wanted and being simply happy. Tumultuous Times But, all that happiness changed and took a nasty turn when I entered my teens.

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”~Buddha Trauma leaves imprints not only on the mind and body, but also on the spirit. When we’ve been hurt, neglected, or overwhelmed, our nervous system often learns to live in survival mode: hypervigilant, self-critical, and disconnected. In this state, we may find it difficult to trust ourselves, our bodies, or even the goodness of life.

I've been in the healing field for more than two decades now, and there is still always something that I can come across that absolutely leaves me in awe. I've studied all the mental and spiritual health modalities under the sun and still continue to do so. My research always sends me down a deep path with amazing revelations. I've been doing a lot of work, research and courses on healing trauma behind the scenes.

"You have the power to heal yourself, and you need to know that. We think so often that we are helpless, but we're not. We always have the power of our minds. Claim and consciously use your power." ~ Louise Hay Your body doesn’t heal in one dramatic moment of clarity. Healing doesn’t arrive like a thunderclap or a single breakthrough or happen overnight.
