Evaluating anger

Date 15 September 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
Although being angry can make us irritable, changes our personality and the thought process that deals with our emotions, being angry may also means we set ourselves up to fail. Why we’re angry is inconsequential to the anger itself, but anger isn’t always who we are, it's who we become.…

Ability & education

Date 12 September 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
I remember a conversation that took place years ago with a relative who thought that being born to uneducated parents meant their children would also go on to be uneducated. Whilst I agree unless parent puts a value on their child’s abilities and education there will always be less scope…

Believing what we're told

Date 11 September 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
If we’re told something and it becomes continuous, after a while we will begin to believe that what we’re told. For example, if we’re told we’re stupid, we’ll eventually come to believe that we are that perhaps the other person is right. They clearly know something about us that we’ve…

Spiritual and Emotional Growth

Date 8 September 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
When we fail to open our minds to the possibilities of what we can learn and how we can change, we will always inhibit spiritual and emotional growth, and as a consequence will fail to move forward, or understand how we could have ...

Petty and Mean Behaviour

Date 4 September 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
I am sure we’ve all come across people in our lives, the ones who are petty, mean and added to that, those who facilitate bad behaviour no matter what. Those are the people who are selfish, only focused on themselves and their problems with their why me attitude, attempting to…

Children & respect

Date 3 September 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
As a child, it didn’t matter what my parents said, I was respectful. I never stopped to question their authority or their decisions.

Living life with purpose

Date 31 August 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
If we’re fortunate enough to have support that helps us live our lives with purpose, we will always try to make our lives better. If we’re never encouraged to think outside the box, to think about life and what we want from it, we may never get to the place…

Positive Communication

Date 30 August 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
It matters that how we say what we say resonates with people in positive ways. When we disregard another person’s healthy emotional pathway and instead use pull downs to communicate, it says a lot about us and where we are with our own emotions. It is important that if we…

Stress & truth

Date 27 August 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
It is usually when we’re at our most stressed that we blurt the truth out. It is exactly what is needed, we’ve just never had the courage to say it. Perhaps somewhere in our subconscious, we have already made the correlation that stress and truth are inextricably linked, it’s just…

Feel what you feel

Date 26 August 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
We hide behind different guises. We’re good at disguising, hiding emotional pain that comes from negative beliefs brought about by a person, or a particular situation. Those different guises are fear induced. We’re afraid that if we show our vulnerability, we’ll be letting our guard down and that makes us…

Healing through reflection

Date 23 August 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
Reflection is a process that allows us to create an internal space for exploring traumatic experiences that have hurt and continue to hurt us. Reflection works better when we practise it on our own and is a good way for us to explore our internal dialogue. Reflection is a good…
