Do you ever create just for yourself?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much of what we create is driven by the need for an audience. But some of the most meaningful things I’ve ever made—music, stories, even a novel—were never meant to be shared.

For me, creativity is therapy. It’s about exploring my thoughts, processing emotions, and having a playful conversation with myself. It’s not about being perfect or impressive; it’s about being honest.

I read Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino years ago, and one story inspired me to write an entire novel—one I’ve never shown to anyone. And maybe I never will. Because sometimes the value of creating lies in the process, not the outcome.

So here’s my question for you: What’s something you’ve created that’s just for you? Something that exists simply because it felt good to make it?

Let’s talk about the beauty of creating for ourselves. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

In a world obsessed with sharing, what happens when we create just for ourselves? Creativity isn’t always about impressing others or gaining validation—it ca...

“The moment you choose peace over perfection, you win.”

Sometimes, finding inner peace is about letting go and embracing self-acceptance.

It’s not about giving up, but about choosing to focus on your mental health and peace of mind.

When you allow yourself to release the need for control, you create space for self-love and self-compassion.

True growth happens when you shift your mindset from seeking perfection to embracing imperfection. Remember, you are enough just as you are.

In this journey of self-care and healing, it’s important to cultivate a positive mindset and live in the moment.

Mindfulness helps you find your peace and appreciate the present without being weighed down by expectations.

Let’s choose to focus on our mental wellness and the things we can control, finding strength in our ability to let go.

The power of inspiration and motivation lies within you—embrace it, and you will thrive

Be well, 🌱🌿👌🏻

Words are more than just a means of communication; they shape our reality and influence our mindset.

The language we use to desribe our world is the language we also live in, so the question is do you use language that imprisons you or language that frees you?

Here are a few examples of how our words shape us :)

If I have missed any please comment below.

In today’s , I’m am talking about the power of authenticity.

Being your real, raw, and genuine self isn’t always easy, but it’s incredibly rewarding. 💪✨

Why does authenticity matter?

Authenticity builds trust, fosters self-acceptance, enhances well-being, and encourages growth.

When we drop the masks and show up as we truly are, life becomes so much richer. 🎭➡️😊

Remember, it’s not about being perfect—it’s about being you. Let’s embrace our imperfections and live our truth. 🙌❤️

Self confidence is hard won and easily lost. I know because I have had it, lots of it, lost it all, had it taken away from me and even re-built it.

Creating these videos has been a process of growing my own self confidence, and some of the myths I believed about what self confidence was, you get it and where you get it from.

For me self-confidence comes down to one thing....and thats being able to do the things you say you will do.

And for me that means showing up and getting on with it, but in small ways that build to the big.

It's that simple. The more we are able to prove the faster we grow.

If we can do that great, yet sometimes it's not possible for reasons outside of our control.

Personally, I have had it, lots of it. I have lost it, I have had it taken from me by bad leadership or being thrown under the bus, I have had it crushed by my own avoidable mistakes and then I've come back stronger.

And......

It's lost much more easily than it's won.

I always think back to pitching and how winning a pitch one day can give you incredible self belief, yet losing a pitch the next day can often set-us back to even further back.

Self-confidence is the single most important factor that influences our ability to take risks, innovate, and push creative boundaries.

It shapes how we perceive ourselves and how we believe others perceive us. Without it, we might hold ourselves back, second-guess our ideas, and miss out on opportunities to shine.

However, there are many misconceptions about self-confidence that can hinder our ability to believe that we even have access to it.

1️⃣ Myth: Self-Confidence Is Innate
2️⃣ Myth: Self-Confidence Means Being Extroverted
3️⃣ Myth: Self-Confidence Equals Arrogance
4️⃣ Myth: Self-Confident People Never Feel Fear
5️⃣ Myth: Self-Confidence Is Something You Are Born With
6️⃣ Myth: Self-Confidence Is Constant
7️⃣ Myth: Self-Confidence Comes from External Validation

Be well 🙏
