The Thriving Introvert

Waiting

What do you do in the waiting? You know when you are still expecting to get the result you want, the period where it doesn’t look like anything is happening. The waiting period can seem so long and hard. It could seem like there is no way out or you might be left wondering how it will all happen.

People Pleasing Habits

What are the habits we have formed in other to please people and get them to keep liking us, what effects do these habits have on us and what should we do instead?

Not Doing Life Alone

How important is it not to do life alone even as an introvert? It feels straight forward to just face your job and busy yourself raising your kids and taking care of your immediate family. While that might be a priority for you, as human beings we were made to connect. We need human connection to thrive. Listen as I inspire you on this.

Feeling Stuck

What do you do when you feel stuck? When you feel you have come to the end of yourself. Do you numb yourself so you don't think about it? Being stuck leads to a feeling of despair, and a constant state of despair can lead to hopelessness and depression. So what can you do instead?

Dirty Pain

Pain is a part of our human experience and it often saves us from more danger and becomes a symptom that signifies that something more might be happening. Time is needed to heal pain but the stories we tell ourselves regarding the situation can prolong the healing process. Here I talk about dirty pain and how to avoid it.

Unhealthy Comparison

Today I want us to discuss comparison in the context of comparing people. When is it healthy and when does it pose an issue? Comparing has been engraved in our culture, it can be seen in our schools, our marriages, our work force and generally in life but how do you as a parent educate and talk to your child about comparison; and as an individual how do you see comparison. When is comparison healthy?

Controlling Others

Do you wish that you can control everyone around you to make them do what you want? Or are you on the other end where you feel controlled by someone and you are wondering how to free yourself?  You might be thinking, my life would be a whole lot better if I could control everyone around me. Could it really make life easy for you to have that power over people? Today I want to share my thoughts about controlling others, and perhaps it will free you from being the controller or being controlled.

Escape The Rate Race

As a mum working full time, I was always on the move. The move to get to work by 7am, the move to handle all their extra activities after school, to get dinner ready and get them ready for bed. It made me pause and think? When I grow older, what would give me more joy? I knew my answer and then I said to myself - No More Rat Race! That was the beginning of my making conscious choices that I have never regretted. 

Friendships

At one point in your life you must have said the phrase I don't have any friends, maybe when you were younger or even as a grown up. It might have been true or coming from experience, it might be the emotions of the moment that was speaking at that particular time. Whatever your story was I know that a lot of us struggle with making friends especially as introverts. So today I want to talk about how to make friends - I mean genuine friends, and the things to note about friendships.

Boundaries

Today let's dive into Boundaries and how necessary boundaries are for you. Why you should set boundaries and why you should accept other people's boundaries without taking it personal or feeling offended by them. Boundaries are your personal preferences that guide the way you do life. Setting healthy boundaries is both good for you and for the others you interact with.
