Both socially and culturally we are encouraged to want to be with others. From a young age we feel the need to belong, be social and fit in. So, why do some of us hate being alone? Well, just as we benefit from the comfort of surrounding ourselves with others, humans also require alone time.
Read MoreTechnology is fascinating and its evolution is even more mind blowing. Thirty-five years ago, Motorola released its first cell phone, and its size was just shy of a shoebox. Now we have quarter inch slivers of glass that can detect our facial emotions and allow us to talk face to face with people on the other side of the world.
Read MoreAs women, we can confidently say that our looks play a role in our happiness. Whether we want to or not, we find ourselves trying to reach that unattainable goal of perfectionism. We hate to break it to you, but there is no perfect. This ideal woman that we seek, just simply doesn’t exist. Those women in the tabloids with zero body fat, straight teeth, luscious hair and seemingly always tanned skin are beautiful, but they are not perfect. Everyone has imperfections, everyone has flaws, and self-perception is one gateway to happiness. Confidence is the most beautiful thing that a woman can wear. So, why is that something we struggle with most?
Read MoreSomething that sets humans apart from most other animals is our sense of belonging. We have lived side by side since the beginning of time, which has led us to be remarkably social creatures. Belonging to a group provides comfort and stability by increasing longevity, and therefore improving our chance of survival. We are on a perpetual quest to find our tribe, but more often than not, our desires get the best of us.
Read MoreSelf-discovery is the process and journey of learning who you are and the important role you play in the universe. It is the journey we take to fully understand oneself, our values, our likes and dislikes, hobbies that interest us, characteristics that we value in relationships and who we want to surround ourselves with. It’s a way to deeply connect your mind to your inner voice to truly excel in all aspects of life.
Read MoreValentine’s Day, although most of us are unsure of its origin, was built for love. From a young age, we paint this perfect picture of romance with boxes of chocolate, bouquets of flowers and giant stuffed teddy bears. We grow up thinking that our crush will surprise us with a candle-lit dinner on a boat in some beautiful city, with a live string quartet and a piece of spaghetti that’s shared beneath the stars. Everything goes perfectly, he calls the next day, you end up getting married, having children and live a happy fairytale life.
Read MoreSelf-care is characterised by the steps we take towards maintaining our personal well-being and health. Self support habits promote self-development and can be formulated without seeking consultation from a professional. Self-care reflects how we view ourselves through practices we follow in our everyday life.
Read MoreDieting can come in all sorts of forms, both good and bad. We hear of all these celebrity diet fads, a magic pill that will make you lose weight at an unhealthy rate or restricting your diet to merely peas and carrots. Some diets have health benefits depending on body type, such as the keto diet or paleo diet, but even then everyone will react in their own way.
Read MoreDo you ever feel like your feelings are out of your control? Sometimes you enter a room and are hit by an overwhelming wave of emotions? Maybe you feel that you know everything about a person after just one conversation with them, or are profoundly moved to tears by something beautiful?
Read MoreFor some, making a decision can go seamlessly and for others it can be anxiety inducing and painstakingly difficult, but why? Nervousness in making a decision can come from lack of knowledge. Perhaps it’s topic you are unfamiliar with or have yet to approach so it seems intimidating.
Read MoreAs I write this, I am lying in the back of an RV where a makeshift bed has been erected on a pallet comprising of two single mattresses, three pillows and a heap of blankets. I, Lexi Bosman, am living in a camper van. Yep… For the past two months I have been living the mobile-home dream life with two of my best friends. It has been a lifelong dream of ours and we finally got around to doing it. Set the scene; three exuberant, oversharing and overdramatic (at times) women plunged into a confined space day in and day out for two and a half months.
Read MoreEveryone needs healing. As human beings it is inevitable for us to have acquired some sort of ‘baggage’ over the years. Everyone accumulates preconditioning from external elements as children and as we evolve into adults it is our journey to unbind this preconditioning and baggage. It is our journey to become aware of our internal makeup to avoid manifesting by default, running on autopilot.
Read MoreDoes your mood seem to heavily sway depending on the season? Does a longer winter mean a longer time spent in bed? This is totally normal and could just mean that you have a sensitivity to changes in weather. Some of us thrive in the cold but extended periods of grey and cold can have serious effects on how we feel and act. There are many levels of severity and coping can vary based on the person, but the most important is to educate yourself on the matter so that you can help yourself and others.
Read MoreMy first experience with an ice bath was in Phuket, Thailand when I worked at a health and detox retreat. Initially, I refused. I couldn’t wrap my mind around why anyone would want to submerge their body into freezing cold water, I could imagine the benefits but those giant floating ice blocks terrified me.
Read MoreBeing a picky eater, I sometimes reminisce on the time when I didn’t have to be so cautious. I wasn’t always this particular, but about three years ago something happened that caused me to change my diet drastically. I was diagnosed with gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining) which meant that anything I put in my mouth would cause a firey-burning reaction once it hit my gut.

Read MoreThere are 7 steps to manifestation and as we newly enter the New Year, we want to focus on the first one which is setting an intention. Before the blueprints of life unfold, one must clearly identify and acknowledge what they want.
