“The Great Mind De-Clutter” is a term I’ve coined to represent mental clarity, not just the prospect of mental clarity itself, but the process of it’s acquisition. “The Great Mind De-Clutter” is a term I’ve coined to represent mental clarity, not just the prospect of mental clarity itself, but the process of it’s acquisition.

Your thoughts always matter because they are what set the foundation for how you feel about yourself and others. Often we refer to it as our ‘self-talk’ and it can make us or break us. What’s important to understand is that we have full control over the way we think and exactly what we think…
It’s often difficult to break free from feelings that we hold towards certain people – with our friends, our family and other close relations. Feelings of resentment can build up if these feelings are suppressed over time and we can find it difficult to live our day to day life with the burdens we carry…
In life there’s things I will not understand, not now, not tomorrow, maybe never. So how do I deal with that? What purpose will they serve me? That’s one of the burning questions of life – why do certain things happen and for what cause? Both good things and bad things. First I want to…
If you listen close enough, you can hear a silent whisper. It’s the man above, directing you to where you need to be. He might seem to work in ways, that sometimes don’t make sense, but how can something so grand as his plans fit into the realm of what we already know – get…
I made a post last year emphasising the importance of acceptance on a day such as today. Acceptance of the fact that you are where you need to be and the realisation that you having everything you need right now. Feelings of loneliness might be challenging to face, but they should empower you – not…
Friendship is a blessing. Friendship can come in so many forms and each can provide us with invaluable support and stability. When we can find someone or a few people who we can share an emotional connection with it can be an uplifting feeling. The main benefit that comes out of friendship is the ability…
To pride yourself on consistency is a valuable ideal to have. Consistency in the context of self improvement means to make the conscience effort of turning up every single day or on a regular basis to perform a particular task that you know is hard but will help you to grow. Think about exercise for…
Our dreams are controlled by the limits we place on ourselves. We often let our limits suppress our capabilities and we can’t reach our full potential. A dream represents what we want most – what our ‘ideal’ scenario might be for the future. We can have multiple dreams at any one time. These can be…
Whether you’re religious or not, I think it’s important to trust that the world is set up to work in your favour. If you become ignorant of this fact, bitterness can often result, and resentment can build to the point where you feel like you have no control over the outcomes of your life. Like…
Learn your process and make it clear, because if you don’t direct yourself consciously to where you want to be, you will never feel the satisfaction of knowing that you intentionally put yourself in the place you needed to be. Circumstances change, and situations happen in life that challenge us in unexpected ways, but here’s…
Jim Carrey shared these remarkable words in a valedictorian speech he shared at Maharishi University of Management and they couldn’t be closer to the truth. We often underestimate our power and we don’t realise the potential of our actions. It doesn’t cost us a thing to make others feel good, to compliment them or to…
If you have ever felt uninspired, you’re probably just human (laughs). Feeling uninspired is often hard to explain, but you probably know exactly how it feels. It feels as if you have to keep moving forward with life and what it asks of you, but you have no apparent motive to do so. When we…
Clear the clutter and let the simple stuff stay. We need far less to live a good life than we realise. There is a lot of meaningless stuff that ties us down that we think belongs in our life, but it doesn’t. There are many distractions that we run to for comfort in times of…
It’s easy to get caught up in trying to please others and in trying to prove to the world that we are good enough. The truth is, we don’t have to and we should never have to. If people, situations or criteria ever make us feel this way we need to properly evaluate why this…
If only we could turn back time, would we change the things of our past or let them be as they are? Does time moving forward signify that we can’t go back to the better days that we believe are behind us? It’s nice sometimes to speculate about going back in time to improve things…
Sometimes we become anxious for no apparent reason, other times we know the exact cause, but nonetheless it can be difficult to manage in either case. Those rumblings in our stomach can feel all knotted up and out of control and we can even begin to question our own self worth. Sometimes we get anxious…
Your mind might be racing, or you’re having a panic attack or something’s just not letting you sleep. It’s your thoughts and they can be your closest friend and your worst enemy. It’s okay, just take a few deep breaths and place your hand over your heart. Feel it beating…you’re alive, that’s all that matters…
Are you afraid that your life might not work out the way you want it to or the way you envisioned it? Do you ever feel like the position you are in right now could be so much better? Are you afraid that you might not measure up or that your life may not leave…
Prayer can change a situation. Prayer can change your life. Whenever I have found myself consistently praying on a day-to-day basis for extended periods of time those have been the happiest times of my life, I seemed free of my worries and more grateful for the things that I had in life. There’s something about…
~See Part 2~ You might be spending today alone, with no soulmate and nobody you can call your partner in crime, but don’t be so hard on yourself. You are where you need to be right now and God has a special plan for you. Love is not just romantic, it comes in many forms…
Maria shares her story of courage to raise awareness for mental health, particularly in her state of Florida, which ranks 50th (out of the 50 US States) in mental health care. Maria’s message to ‘rise up’ is an inspiring one for all who are afraid to speak of their own mental health experiences. Maria plans…
I want to open up to you a little bit – to tell you about fear. Fear is not weakness, but a yearning for unconditional love. It’s a desire to want things to be a certain way but having no way of being certain whether they are possible. You can dream about having an understanding…
It can be quite confronting being alone with our thoughts, especially if we haven’t done it for a long time. Our thoughts are a gift – we have this amazing thing called a conscience that lets us know when we are doing right or wrong by ourselves, but we have to listen to it. Sometimes…
In the midst of chaos, seek to find peace in all you do. Look for beauty in the small things and be proud of the small goals you achieve each day. In all honesty, there are so many ways to find peace and respond to a situation that calms the flame of chaos surrounding it….
Love can inspire us to do so many amazing things. The beauty of love is that it comes in many forms too – there is romantic love, familial love and self love, to the name the most prominent. It’s these types of love that will ultimately be the reason ‘why’ we choose to pursue particular…
If I was a superhero I’d want to have one power – to take away the pain of others without placing it on myself. That’s the dream. Sometimes you see someone hurting, and all you want to do is help, but you don’t know how, or you can’t – or you fear that helping them…
The longer we hold onto our worries, the more they begin to hurt us. This is a short video that exemplifies the importance of letting go of the thoughts, feelings and emotions that hold us back and cause us mental trauma. It’s okay to think about them occasionally, but understand their lessons and move past…
What we think, is what we are. Our thoughts can be equally as helpful to our development as they can be detrimental. These can be thoughts of our own self image, of others and of the world around us. Our thoughts can be the difference between seeing hills or mountains or between seeing man and…
“We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us” (Philippians 4:13). That’s a quote that gets me on the right path each day. When I have doubts, I look to God for inspiration and I pray that he guides me – not to immediate success, but guides me to a better version of myself…
