Recognising fear based decisions

Posted on July 31, 2017 by Catarina

I have had my own business for 4 years now, and it’s taken me almost this long to really step into my power and OWN it. And by that I mean stand up for what is right for me and stop allowing myself to go after shiny objects because of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) on some juicy must-know-this-to-succeed information….

What if I don’t get what I really want?

Posted on May 19, 2017 by Catarina

When we are in fear and anxiety it doesn’t feel good. Fear and anxiety are powerful emotions. And although if we take a step and look at them simply for what they are, ‘emotions’, when we are experiencing them they can take over and put us in a real state, ranging from worry to sheer panic.

It’s all about the mess

Posted on April 14, 2017 by Catarina

I know you know this, but it’s always good to remind ourselves that life is messy It’s not all neatly laid down and planned out for us to know exactly what we have to do. Life is messy and chaotic. But it’s within that mess that we find ourselves We make mistakes. We struggle. We kick and scream. We stamp…

Are you a Perfectionist?

Posted on March 19, 2017 by Catarina

With over 100 blogs in draft mode, still unpublished and several notebooks filled with ideas that haven’t seen the light of day, I have to put my hand up and fess up that perfectionism is one of my downfalls. I used to think being somewhat a perfectionist was a good thing. But it really isn’t. Perfectionism does not make us feel…

Our brain’s battle

Posted on March 13, 2017 by Catarina

Our brain has 2 sides: the left side, which is our rational and logic thinking; the right side, which is our creativity and intuitive knowledge. Both sides are needed: a balance of both, working together, without overlooking one or the other, as each one has essential value. Let’s start by looking at the left side It’s our intellect.

We’ve all been there, haven’t we? You know what it’s like to have a zillion things clogging up your mind…to have a thousand things on your loo-roll-sized to-do list… to have all those unnecessary-unplanned-and-unwanted situations come along and mess up your day. But you probably don’t know why it’s happening. In a nutshell, it’s because your mind is wandering. It’s taking…

Posted on December 31, 2016 by Catarina

I am not going to make any New Year’s resolutions this year. You might have noticed that I am not really a ‘do-what-everyone-does’ or ‘do-what-is expected’ kind of person. And if you are reading this, you are probably not one either. So why would we make New Year’s resolutions just because a new year is about to start? Why would…
