Why do we hide so much? From ourselves, from friends, from family, fom people who want to help us…

We desire to be free and yet we imprison ourselves. Hiding our feelings, our questions, our concerns; all of this hiding just leads us into feeling more trapped.

Have you ever said something and all of the sudden you could start to breathe again? That is the feeling of being free! We owe it to ourselves.

The first person we should open up to is our own self and often it is the most difficult yet important step. Coming to terms with yourself, understanding what you want, questioning yourself…

⁃ Am I doing this for me?

⁃ What could I do better?

⁃ What do I want to do?

⁃ How do I feel about this?

⁃ What I can do to make myself feel better/more satisfied?

⁃ How am I treating myself?

It is important for us to learn that asking ourselves questions like these and having this inner dialogue is extremely important for our self improvement. We cannot improve for others, we must do it for ourselves. And who can know you better than YOU?

Often times we go by in such an automatic state we never check in with our feelings, necessities, challenges, emotional state etc…

I encourage you to begin exploring and hearing yourself out! Right here, right now. If you don’t do it, who will?

Metamorphosis

Sohan Nicole

If there is something in our lives that will be constant it is change. The world, nature, society, trends, everything around us is constantly changing. And so are we.

We are constantly learning, growing, making desicions that lead us to new ways of living. If change is so constant and normal then, why do we have such an issue with it? In many ways we want our lives to change for the better. We want to achieve economic stability, have a car, a house, a dog, graduate, a promotion, to be our own bosses; but are we willing to make some sacrifices in order to attain all we want?

Here is where our problem is, we want our lives to change without making changes. We expect to wake up one day and BAM!, there it is all we ever wanted. I’m sorry to burst bubbles, but nothing in our lives will change if we don’t start changing ourselves. None of us can expect our lives to evolve if we continue acting like we have during past years.

Growing up is hard, but even harder is facing the reality that we need to grow up. To start prioritizing, making better desicions, being a little more selfish with our time, money and energy. BORING, I know but it is the way it is. Would you rather keep doing what your doing and then realize you should have made some adjustments in your life after 20 years? Nobody wants to wake up and say “I should have”. We want to wake up and say “I’m glad I did”.

Until we start making changes for the better we will continue to be caterpillars waiting for our cocoons to break. In reality we have to break it ourselves.

And in this cocoon creating process it is important to remember that we must be patient with ourselves. The metamorphosis of the caterpillar will occur, it is INEVITABLE. There is a change and a growth that is bound to happen; wether we push to it or not. Give yourself time, space, and understanding.

Not your typical inspirational blog

Sohan Nicole

Welcome to my Wellness blog! I will start by warning you… this will not be your typical motivational website. Here you won’t find articles with the “Top Ten Ways to Burn Fat”, or vegan recipes, or “Five Ways to Learn How to Meditate”. Believe me those are everywhere. Instead I will give you something that no other person can give you. In fact, I am not going to give it to you, because you already have it. The thing is you have just forgotten about it. Instead, I am here to help you recover that something you misplaced. I will help you give yourself the power to be you, the power to be limitless.

Yes, I do mean limitless as in “no limits”. We humans, are limitless. We have the ability to do whatever we feel like. It is obvious most of the time, you know when your mother tells you to complete a certain task and you just don’t. You decide to do whatever makes you happier instead. Or how about when you just don’t do your homework, or you just don’t clean up the house. In these scenarios we do in fact understand very well this concept of doing what pleases US.

Somehow along the way we forget we have this magnificent power. At some point in our lives we go by fulfilling everyones desires but our own. Until, one day we wake up and we find ourselves in a position where we don’t please ANYONE, not even ourselves. We don’t even know what makes us happy anymore.

I am here to tell you to CALM DOWN, you have the control, you can change everything, you can live a fuller, happier, meaningful life. Maybe you haven’t gotten to this dreadful point yet and you are just wondering why nothing that is ahead of you makes you feel motivated or excited. Don’t worry you are just on time. Get ready for what is coming ahead in this blog, and how your perceptions will change!
