Self-reflection
Following on from the blog about the integration of the shadow – I am here to do just that. At some point along my journey, I have felt as though I’ve lost connection with a clear sense of purpose. Some days I waddle in self-pity which means I’ve clearly lost my way. Here I am…
The Shadow
Jungian Psychology denotes that the ‘shadow’ is the portion of our consciousness apart from the ‘ego’. It is that which we do not show to the world. In order to become a ‘whole’ human, we must integrate our shadow into our personality. This can only be done by shining a light on that which we…
FOMO
When do we experience FOMO? The vast majority occurs when we think we missed out on something that everyone else may have experienced. The root of this is identification of oneself with a certain group or ‘herd’ and as a result, the feeling of being left out of loop. As the 26th President of the…
Fasting
Fasting is becoming a widely used tool for many to achieve a healthier body and a stronger mind.

Curiosity
The simple act of being curious can be immensely rewarding. Curiosity is a part of human nature; just look at kids, they grow up being curious about anything and everything. That is how they learn. The day we stop being curious is the day our brains stop growing. In order to make the most of…
Cash flows
In a world where nothing is certain, we mustn’t place all our eggs in one basket. If we do, one wrong turn may send everything crashing down. Hence, the focus of financial freedom must be on producing and securing multiple cash flows. Only then are we able to create a safety net that protects us…
