The Art of Loving Yourself: Tips for Reconnecting and Restoring Inner Peace

With the longer days and golden light of summer approaching, it’s the perfect time to ask: How can I refresh myself – deeply and meaningfully – amidst the busyness of life?

The Universe recently sent me a beautiful reminder of this. I spent my holiday camping in rural France, tucked away in a peaceful, green valley with no mobile signal at all. For two weeks, I lived without distractions – just birdsong, starry skies, and the gentle rhythm of the earth. And something amazing happened: I rediscovered a deep pool of peace within myself. read more

Journaling has long been celebrated as a powerful personal insight and growth tool. For those on a spiritual journey, it can become a sacred practice that nurtures the soul, offering clarity, intention, and connection. Whether you’re new to journaling or have filled countless notebooks, this practice can guide you toward deeper self-awareness and spiritual expansion.

A Safe Space for Emotional Release

Life can be overwhelming, and emotions often swirl within us. Journaling provides a safe, private space to process those emotions. Putting pen to paper allows you to untangle feelings, identify patterns, and find a sense of peace. The act of writing can be cathartic, transforming confusion or pain into understanding and acceptance. I also find it gets the emotions out of your body and gives you some peace. read more
