Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
Lunar Astrology and Personal Growth
A few years ago I thought I had a pretty good handle on astrology, I thought your sun sign helped predict what vibe was going on for you day to day etc. Then, I was introduced to my Moon Sign.
Sarah GoldsmithPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHow to Convince Yourself to Go Exercise
I thought the only way I could work out was by going to the gym, or running. If someone said "I love running," I would most likely respond with "Good for you, I'm the queen of France." No one loves running.
Mars A.M.Published 6 years ago in MotivationChanging the Dialogue
Creating permanent change: Perhaps the fastest and most effective way to improve your well-being immediately is by changing your inner dialogue. For just 15 minutes today I implore you to be an observer within your own mind. Sit back and take note of the way you naturally speak to and about yourself. You’ll be shocked to find out how utterly judgement our internal voice has become. We are so used to it hearing it day in and day out that we no longer recognize how nasty it can be.

I was sweating. Profusely. In my bright blue new Old Navy jumpsuit, that was very flattering on my figure, that made my legs look long as if they went on for miles, that was very hard to pee in. In my new Goodwill shoes, the white and brown decoration that criss-crossed over my toes. In my broken blue glasses that matched my bright blue new Old Navy jumpsuit. In my huge hot pink heart earrings that added the perfect pink pop of color to my majority blue ensemble. In my bracelets that came from all over the world, that came from my travels and my aunt's travels and my mom's travels and my friend's travels. I was either too casual or too formal, I knew I should've listened to my mom when she told me to do my makeup and curl my hair, maybe add a nice white necklace and primp myself until I wasn't myself anymore. I knew I should've listened to Kallie when she told me to throw on any old T-shirt and jeans, to wear my busted up sneakers from painting sets and building costumes all summer, to just pretend I had just rolled out of bed so I could relate to the other performers.

A Shadow Needs the Sun. A line from one of my favorite poems and song by original Simon Steadman and Charlton Pettus For Always. Love poem about everyone needing someone, comparing the shore needs the ocean to be called a shore, and your shadow is not visible without the sun, and a candle needs a flame. Everything is connected, it's all fitted together to make things work.
anne GPublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Vehicle We Drive Around In
Fear can no longer stay buried inside like cancer. I ask myself: “Is there one cell or organ or strand or muscle or bone in the body that should be nurtured at the expense of all else in the body?” If there is, how do I choose? Every part of our body has a vital function and most of us are not even aware yet of what function each part of the body has. The general population is still learning the function of vital organs so things like neurons, sinews, and DNA are yet in relative oblivion. The past 200 years has seen a focus on personality so at least we are learning how The Operator works, and now there is a shift to learning more about The Vehicle we drive around in. For me, that Vehicle is symbolised in the world too e.g. billions of people—billions of cells; seven continents—seven main glands; major leaders—major organs; major river systems—major arteries and veins, etc.

takiPublished 6 years ago in MotivationWhy I Live For Failure
I have made more mistakes than I can count since I became a mother. Shit, I have made more mistakes than I can count in just my 20s. I'm the first to admit that I am not a perfect person, let alone a perfect mother. But my failures are the greatest blessings I have ever endured. It took me entirely too long to realize what my favorite high school teacher was talking about when she told me "If you fall on your face, at least you're still moving forward." Granted, when you make a mistake as a new mother, falling on your face hurts a lot worse. It feels like every failure is ten times worse than it actually is because you suddenly have this tiny human who's relying on you to not fail. But after many long crying sessions in the shower and smoking in the backyard during nap time, I learned something pretty substantial that I think I need to share; you don't have to not fail, you just have to not stop trying when you do fail.

Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

Silena Le BeauPublished 6 years ago in MotivationHi! My Name Is: Kyrsta (Who Am I?) My Self-discovery
Hi there! I'm Kyrsta and today I am writing this to share my journey of finding and loving myself. As long as I can remember, I have felt insecure—some reasons being genetic: not pencil thin, cowlicks in my hair, sparse eye brows, and of course bad teeth that required braces. All that is enough for most young girls, but I also got to live in my sister's shadow; my sister being a 6'2" pencil thin model with cheek bones that could cut you and the perfect candid laugh/smile combo to rock any picture at any angle, any time of the day. So I guess you could say from a young age I felt invisible. Sometimes that fact was horrible and I just wanted to be noticed, but other times it was a blessing and I didn't have to face people and they didn't need to see me.
Kyrsta MorehousePublished 6 years ago in MotivationThe Journey of Self Discovery
When I first started this journey, I had no idea what I was even getting myself into, and I feel now, looking back, that I was just putting my toes in this big ocean of knowledge that resides in me. Now several months later, I realize how deep this ocean goes, and it’s mind-boggling. Its absolutely unreal who we are, and what we are capable of. I feel like a giddy school girl who has just discovered the big secret of life, and I want to tell everyone about it!
