(EXPERIENCE) Why Detaching Yourself Is Sometimes The Best Thing

We live within a framework that extracts negativity from  most of the sources it comes into contact with, masking us within a cloud of negativity that stifles our personal as well as collective abilities to reach a higher level of spiritual consciousness . By consciousness I am not explicitly referring to a celestial, religious body but rather our own perception of our self worth  as opposed to the ideological lens that various institutions shape our perceptions with. This massive cloud of negativity is in many ways preventing our own success. We are exposed and operate within this cloud and allow what we see to affect our own inner perceptions and expectations- we become so consumed within external forces such as social media, the news and many other social constructions that we neglect the body and mind that we are gifted with and become consumed by in many regards, a senseless search for stimulation. If we do not allow ourselves to  disconnect from this framework from time to time and  delve into creative, spiritual or emotive rabbit holes then we exist within a synthetic framework designed to do nothing but stimulate mindless desires. I have found that by meditating or simply writing posts like these allow me to center myself and see things from a  truly 'first person' perspective.
I am not not by any means saying give up social media or disregard what you see in the news, I am suggesting that we are increasingly becoming more and more detached from ourselves and by simply taking the time,whether that is an hour a day or once a week to do something that exists outside of this framework we are operating in, then the quality of the lived experience is drastically improved.

So enjoy the liberty and mindlessness of social media, fear and become engaged with the sociopolitical endeavours of your society but also remember to acknowledge and appreciate that there is a side of you that you may be currently neglecting that is screaming to be let free. Do not fear being a little bit different, enjoy being you.

(EXPERIENCE) Connect With You: Dealing With Regret

One of the greatest tragedies that I can think of is reflecting on yourself and feeling regretful. 'I wish I did this instead of...' 'I wish I told this person how I REALLY felt...' 'I wish I could have done...' We all experience regret at some point in our lives, and it is at this point that we should look deep into our feelings and question why we walked down a path that we knew deep down couldn't accommodate for our needs and wants. Every day that we are gifted with is an opportunity to learn more about ourselves and our truest, deepest desires and wants. We spend all day trying to impress the same people that evidently do not deserve our energy because they give nothing in return. We spend time developing relationships with these people instead of taking the time to delve deep and meet the purest version of ourselves, unfiltered from what exists outside our being, outside of our expectations. The world that we experience is a result of the fe

(BUSINESS) Altiefe Presents Launching An Idea Part 2: The Passionate Area

Welcome to the second article of this ‘Launching an Idea’ series. In the first article, we looked at identifying a driving force (available to read here ), today we are going to be looking at transferring that driving force over to a passionate area. What is a passionate area? Passionate area: A creative pursuit that a person feels most comfortable and most free to operate within. This is usually a specific area within a wider discipline/creative pursuit e.g. A fashion vlogger . Chances are, if you're reading this article you have an idea of what it is you want to do or where abouts your creative idea is going to be situated – the passionate area is a little more specific, though. To give this article some context, a friend of mine is a fantastic music producer. He can produce a number of different genres of electronic music and has found success in most of them but his main passionate area is within dubstep. Now, some of you may hear dubstep and go ‘yuck!’ b

(EXPERIENCE) What Meditation Has Taught Me: The Importance Of The Present

I have been recently delving into the discipline of meditation. I aim to practice only ten minutes a day, everyday. I would like to share with you perhaps my biggest breakthrough regarding meditation - the importance of the present. As a young creative, I am constantly looking either forwards  into the future visualing my goals or backwards  into the past - learning from my mistakes.  I found that through practice, particularly in guided meditation that I was ignoring arguably the most important time frame - the now . It suddenly dawned on me. In order to bring my future aspirations into fruition I have to examine my actions in the present moment to ensure that they fit with what I aim to achieve in the future . The same applies for my past - in order to ensure that I am learning from any mistake or painful experience, I have to be cognisant of what I am doing in the now to ensure that I am truly implementing changes from what I have learned from the past into my present day ac
