I Invested in The Planner That’s Going to Change My Life and Why You Should Too

With greater self-awareness and self-empowerment, we can become the master of our mind and feel happy and inspired no matter what life throws at us.

The Happiness Planner, and the materials it comes with, has got me strategically planning my entire life. And I’m talking big life goals, long-term plans, hobbies, and making more time for the things that matter most to me. I know it sounds like a simple concept, but can you honestly say you’ve used a planner to actually plan happiness into your daily routine?

2019 Has Been the Year of Letting Go, 2020 is the Year of Becoming

This year I realised that I’m always kind to others yet I’m so quick to drag myself down. The things I say to myself I would never say about anyone else. It’s time to appreciate myself in the same ways I appreciate everyone else.

I am changing in a way that lets the world know that I am enough. I am a strong, intelligent, kind, independent, and caring woman but most importantly, I am me.

Dear Demi…

You’ve taught me that no matter what I, or others, go through, whether it’s a mental illness, being bullied at school, self harming, having a substance abuse issue or an eating disorder, not to be afraid to ask for help. You helped me save my own life, and I will always be extremely thankful.

A Year in Counselling – My Experience

I walked into the room unaware of what a counselling session really was. Over the course of the sessions I was diagnosed with anxiety and depression – which I knew very little about then. I just thought it was part of who I was, part of being a shy, quiet person. I understood that everyone has nerves and can get overwhelmed before doing a presentation in front of the class, I simply thought for someone who had experienced so much at once that it was normal. I guess though I wasn’t being completely honest with myself.

The End is in Sight for the Class of 2015

How do we measure the time we have spent in high school? At the start, we measured it in class periods, only dreaming of the day of eventual freedom. As the days and weeks passed, we measure it in terms, and later in years as we moved from being the babies of the school to turning into right typical teenagers who thought they had it all figured out. By the time we reached our senior year, we were prepared to take over the S6 common room and “rule the school”! And now here we stand.

Our rule is over, and it is now up to the class of 2016 to step into our shoes and take over the reigns. I know now that my time will be measured in a much different way…
