Today we are exploring three groups of persons – the zombies, the rulers and the frantic fanatics.

I’m Afraid You’re Doing It All Wrong

Jun 08. 2018

Worry and fear are like two people in a toxic relationship. They live together, work together, thrive off one another and amplify each other’s weaknesses. When one is let in the other soon follows.

When you entertain fear you beckon in worry; and vice versa. And when you...

Be Careful Little Eyes What You See

Jan 27. 2018

Social media can be equal parts wonderful and worrisome. It introduces one to a much bigger and broader world that exists outside our own. It ushers our target markets right to our fingertips, keeps us abreast on daily happenings and it provides encouragement, inspiration and humour from millions of miles away. On the other hand, social media can foster comparison, it may fan insecurities and feelings of inadequacy individuals already possess and struggle with. Social media really is what you make it. Where you are (mentally, emotionally, etc.) and how you structure your account and...
