Moving the boundaries

Date 19 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
Personal boundaries are what we create to identify what is reasonable and safe, what we will allow. When it comes to our boundaries, most of us will have a sense of right and wrong, what’s deemed appropriate and what isn’t, around our own personal space. There are individuals of course who…

Our toxic lives

Date 17 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
Being the recipient of another person’s toxic behaviour will make your life toxic. When someone controls, is critical, or goes on to make decisions for you, then you know you’re living a toxic life. A toxic relationship is having little to no control over your life. Being dependent on someone…

Self-doubt & self-belief

Date 15 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
Unfortunately, self-doubt will not only affect our character and the way we live our lives, but it will also eat into our very core, into our soul. It also has power over us until we take its power back, zap our confidence and take away reason and logic from our…

The importance of relaxation

Date 13 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
We should probably think more about relaxation, or at least try to bring some form of relaxation into our day. Instead, we tend to use relaxation as a last resort, usually when we’re ill and we’re made to slow down. The ‘fight or flight’ response as it’s known, is often…

The sun & skin cancer

Date 12 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle

Choosing to think positively

Date 9 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
If we put out positive thoughts, we will get positive thoughts back, in the same way, if we put out unkindness, we will get unkindness back. Because the ‘Law of Attraction’ states that what we put out will find its way back to us, it is important we put out…

Anxiety & impulsiveness

Date 7 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
We're impulsive. We know what we want and won't wait. There’s nothing wrong with being impulsive, if being impulsive or spontaneous brings the right response to a situation that we want and we’re happy with, but being impulsive can bring about anxiety and can make us stressed. In some cases,…

Other people's issues

Date 5 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
We will come across people in our lives who don't see their own behaviour and also don’t see an issue with their actions, but it will be pretty clear to us. It’s also not something we can challenge, if they don't see their actions, but if it's something we’ve already…

Learning to compromise

Date 3 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
We want our relationships to run smoothly. We want these things, expect others to compromise and yet we don’t always compromise, with some of us not choosing to compromise at all. But being open helps us to compromise. Being open allows us to be honest in what we’re asking and…

Owning our indiscretions

Date 1 June 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
We all have indiscretions, but where some of us will own up to ours, others simply ignore theirs, will still see themselves as perfect, and they will continue to point the finger. Instead of pointing the finger, or apportioning blame, we need to just accept we have indiscretions and that…

Animosity

Date 28 May 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
It’s easy for animosity to grow against the people who could and should have supported us, so that our lives are made easier, but didn’t. No one starts off feeling animosity without just cause. It usually comes in on the back of an injustice that fails to be corrected. Our…

Thinking a different way

Date 26 May 2016
Author Ilana Estelle
We can’t always know what will happen just before it happens, but that doesn’t stop us thinking we know. As we start to invent possible scenarios in our mind of the things that could happen, we begin to stress more because we aren’t quite sure how we’re going to deal…
