What Your Feelings of Envy Might Be Trying to Tell You

What Your Feelings of Envy Might Be Trying to Tell You - Taking a step back and examine the feelings and desires behind jealousy.

Hello Lovelies:

We’ve all been visited by the little green monster. Envy creeps up on you and you find yourself flooded with emotions; anger, resentment, discontentment…

Envy can be painful, disheartening and destructive. It can arrive laced with blame, and our natural affinity to push those feelings outward and envelope them with anger can sometimes leave relationships irrevocably tarnished. Even in the most innocent and simplistic cases, the resentment and self-doubt boiled up by envy can leave us feeling incomplete and hopeless.

But I’d like to think that if we take this heavy experience as an opportunity to grow, it can also be a powerful tool towards achieving our goals.

They Said I Was Too Nice… and I’m Grateful. Here’s Why.

They Said I Was Too Nice... and I'm Grateful. Here's Why.

Hello Lovelies:

“You’re too nice, it’s off-putting”. These words struck me in such a strange way. They left me feeling both embarrassed and insulted, stuck in a weird limbo, reviewing all of the once positive memories that led to that comment.

Let’s rewind – as someone who temps and freelances for a living, I often have a performance review at the end of a contract. My positive attitude has always been a point of highlight, but this time it was apparently a point of pain.

How I’ve Fostered Healthy Changes (And How You Can Do It Too)

How I've Fostered Healthy Changes (And How You Can Do It Too)

Hello Lovelies:

I was diagnosed with Graves Disease almost four years ago, and the changes it fostered in my world have been both sorrowful and incredible. One of the most amazing and joyful, healthy changes have revolved around food! My food philosophies have evolved so completely that Sara circa 2012 would scoff at me (whilst scarfing down Tim Tams and guzzling root beer).

But how exactly did I make such healthy changes (and how can you do it too?)
