I've got your back

Date 3 October 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s sad that in society not everyone has our back, but perhaps that’s got something to do with the fact that they haven’t got their own backs. That when life seems to blindside us with circumstances that leave us unsure of ourselves, uncertain of the way ahead that others have…

Negative pre-conditioning

Date 30 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Anyone can change the way they see themselves. We’re all capable of change changing how we see others through our core inner beliefs. The reason why it may be slightly more difficult is because our beliefs are usually based around negative pre-conditioning ...

Learning to listen

Date 28 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
We listen on our own terms. We listen, not to understand or to hear, but to jump at the opportunity for us to speak again, whether that means agreeing to what’s being said, or by putting in our penny’s worth. We take conversations the way we want them to go.…

Recognising our feelings

Date 24 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Not many of us use introspection, but by observing our own mental and emotional processes, we will start to recognise our thoughts and feelings. We will then begin to recognise the feelings that are making us unhappy. We can increase our wellbeing by accepting that we may have negative feelings.…

Emotions and decisions

Date 20 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Because emotions dictate some of the decisions we make, it is important we don’t rush into or make permanent decisions we can’t change, unless we’re totally happy with our decision. For us to successfully do that, we must be aware of how we feel in the moment. Our emotions interpret,…

Overcoming mental blocks

Date 17 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
We all have mental blocks where we’re stuck and have no control over our thinking, like we have forgotten our thought process. Whether we’re trying to solve an issue or we’re looking at ways to change an outcome, our creative thinking will always be crucial to that process. To begin,…

The right thing to do

Date 14 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
If we’re given information that could go on to change a person’s life, we must put that person’s needs first before our own, even if it meant our own scenario were to change. That is what the universe would expect us to do. And even though it may bring uncertainty,…

Morality and education

Date 10 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Morality isn’t always taught through education. But even if children were to learn morality in the classroom, it is a parent’s job to teach right from wrong. The more moral we are, the better our life will be. Teaching morals shouldn’t be just a parental concern and responsibility, it should…

How we see abuse

Date 9 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Sadly, on an unconscious level, those of us who have been abused may not always equate that others too may perhaps have also been abused, or if they are aware, they may refuse to acknowledge it. Perhaps acknowledging someone else being abused, will impact how we see our own abuse.…

Baking & sugar

Date 5 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Baking is something that we acquire a taste for and it usually starts in childhood. I remember my mum baking and me and my siblings waiting to lick the bowl. But perhaps we could all do more baking, if we cut half the sugared ingredients. Routinely, perhaps we should look…

Pull and push factors

Date 2 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Push and pull factors not only occur when we’re thinking about changing jobs and what may push and pull us to accept one job over another, but push and pull factors also apply to life, particularly relationships. It's not something we stop to think about because relationships are often formed…

Society & being different

Date 1 September 2017
Author Ilana Estelle
Why are so many of us who deal with something treated differently? It’s not just Cerebral Palsy of course, but what about Asperger’s, Autism and Dyslexia. It’s any condition that shows us in a different light that makes how we see and understand the world differently that others find difficult…
