5 Positive Questions You Should Always Answer YES to

“If someone offers you an amazing opportunity to do something and you’re not sure you can do it, say yes. Then learn how to do it later.” ~ Richard Branson

There are some questions that never need to hear the answer NO.

Just imagine the possibility of what your life would be like if you always said YES more often. If you accepted every invitation, dared to enjoy every adventure and chose to be friends with strangers. Of course, this could put you in some risky positions but it could also make your life a whole lot more interesting. There are surely questions that should be answered with a resounding NO. When it comes to your emotional boundaries and healing you need to say No a lot more…but then when it comes to making life more interesting many more questions can be answered with a definitive yes.

“Yes” has magic within it. So often we are afraid of life — we fear failure, we anticipate the worst, we don’t know what to expect. So, we say NO. But often by saying “no”, we reject many of life’s brilliant chances.

How to Build Deeper Human Connections(at any age)

“The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.” ~ Carl Jung

After publishing last weeks article where I shared my thoughts on how we have become so independent and how it is actually depressing us…my inbox was flooded with emails.

We all struggle with this.

Cultural norms come in the way and make it hard to connect with other humans – we’re supposed to talk about the weather, sports, the news, but not our deepest struggles. We’re supposed to say cool or funny things, but not share our greatest hopes for our lives or the person we want to become.

It’s hard BUT…

It’s hard, but… human connection is one of the most powerful healing forces available to us. We don’t realize we thirst for it, but we do, and the thirst is deep and very very real. When I find real human connection, it nourishes my soul, changes me, moves me to tears.

How to Recharge your Energy when you feel Emotionally Exhausted

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.” ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Few years ago, I realized that my own life energy was getting exhausted more often than usual. I was getting irritated easily, frustrated on the smallest things, angry for silliest stuff and tired beyond measure. It took me a while to realise that this is NOT me.

My default setting, if you know me or ask anyone who knows me is high energy and very bubbly. All those who know me say the same thing. I know this as my truth as well. So, when that very deep dip in energy levels took place years ago, I was forced to look deeper to try and understand why this was happening.

I then decided to take care of myself after feeling completely emotionally drained. Here is how I handled it positively…
