(EXPERIENCE) Decluttering Your Headspace

Is your head full of lots of different things? Here is one of my go to tips for decluttering my headspace.

Transferring thoughts to paper

One reason we often feel overwhelmed is due to the inability to project our internal dialogue and its conflicts into the real world. We can't make sense of our situation, we are stressed! This leads to a focus on the scale of our problems and not an understanding of our internal headspace.

When I feel particularly overwhelmed, I like to partake in an exercise called 'mind journaling' or 'monkey mind journaling' whereby I voice my thoughts/fears/worries onto paper unfiltered. By not thinking about what you are writing you allow your thoughts the opportunity to take physical form. Stressful thoughts are sometimes stressful because they aren't tangible (physical). Once we can make sense of our thoughts in the same way we make sense of the world around us, we are able to gather a deeper understanding of ourselves and our situation.

Will this eradicate our stress? Not necessarily! But it will give us the opportunity to declutter our headspace and free up some energy to become the best version of ourselves.

(EXPERIENCE) A Short Thought On Messing Up

There are one million different things that you could do with your life. Every day adds new pathways and thus new outcomes to your future. The aim is not to focus on all the possible outcomes at once,  but to go with what excites you,  what motivates you - what gives you purpose. With every poor decision you make,  there are hundreds of ways to correct it. Don't focus on what you have done wrong in the past, focus on what you can do right in this moment. You can't be defined on what you have done wrong if you truly know what you've done to make things right this time. Fuck everybody else and their opinions. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

(BUSINESS) Launching An Idea Part 3:Branding

We have your driving force, and we have transitioned this nicely into a passionate area. Now ,we can talk about the more exciting stuff – Now we can talk about your branding. Branding is something I think separates you from everybody else in your field – provided it is done right. Strong branding enables a successful idea launch, but ONLY if a driving force and passionate area have been considered too. I like to separate my branding into three areas -   look, feel and message . Your look is quite self explanatory – how are you presenting yourself to your audience ?   If you are launching a blog, what colour schemes does your page utilise? What font are you using for posts? If you are launching a music or vlogging channel, what does your logo look like?   What colours are you choosing to utilise in your videos? Your look is ultimately the first impression you give to your potential audience, so ensure that what you use conveys the first impress...
