I don't think is always good.
I believe, positivity can be quite toxic actually.

It is important to feel our feelings!
What is not important is labelling them 'good' or 'bad', 'positive' or 'negative', allowed' or 'not allowed', 'valid' on 'not valid'. For ourselves, or for others.

If you never allow our feelings to be felt but push them away in the name of 'being or staying positive', they will come back and bight you in the back side... bigger than they ever intended to be...
We all need an outlet. And sometimes we also need someone to hold space for us, don't we?

So let's ditch fake and and let's deal with feelings that are marble size, as opposed to letting them grow into an all consuming elephant of emotions, shall we?

I'd also love to read your comments about what you find toxic and how you could reframe those thoughts and phrases! 😃

🥰🌻

Thank you for the fab image!

Your mind is a master builder. Every , every , every you hold onto is like a brick.

The question is: Are those helping you build the house you want to live in?

shows us that we can choose which bricks to lay down and which to leave behind. And if you don't like the ones you have, you can always change it and start using new bricks! How exciting is that? 😃

By examining old patterns and releasing what no longer serves us, we free ourselves to construct something new, something better.

🧱 What’s one “brick” you’re ready to set down today?
Would you like some help with that?

And as I'm preparing to come back from my sabbatical, my calendar is now open for after Christmas! 🥳
My MindMOTs are Free, are you are welcome to book yours here: https://vandavagra.co.uk/book/

Let's have a look at what brings are still serving you and what needs changing, shall we?

Because you always have a of what you focus your on and where your is going to , don't you?

And no, not everything goes how we want it to go. And that's ok. There is always tomorrow, where we can give it another shot and do something differently, can't we?

What would you like to capture? What is important, what is good in your life?
And what is there to do change and make better next time? What didn't go quite as planned?

I'd love to read them in the comments.

This time of year, anxiety loves to creep in, whispering lies like:
❌ “You’re not doing enough.”
❌ “You’re not good enough.”
❌ “You should be better by now.”

In reality narrows your focus, magnifying only your perceived . It distorts how you see yourself.

Others don’t see the cracks you fixate on. They see your kindness, your loyalty, your patience, and your ability to keep growing - even when it’s hard.

In the lead up to Christmas, give yourself permission to step back, breathe, and remember:
You are enough as you are. You bring light to others in ways you might not even realize. 🥰

Which of your strengths can you celebrate today?

Did you know that gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you” when someone holds the door open - it’s a superpower that can actually .

The rewiring I mentioned happens thanks to something called - your brain’s amazing ability to change and adapt based on your thoughts and experiences.

When you practice for instance - whether it’s noticing small things like a beautiful sunset or big things like having a supportive friend in your life - you’re strengthening neural pathways associated with and .

It’s like doing a workout for your brain! Each time you focus on what you’re grateful for, you’re teaching your mind to find the good in life more easily.

And it’s not just your brain getting a boost - your body loves gratitude, too! 😃

Research shows that it increases the levels of your like , and , which help improve your mood and . It can even lower cortisol, the hormone linked to and .

And Here’s the best part: this practice doesn’t have to take much time. You can start with just a few minutes a day.

A simple exercise would be starting a Gratitude Jar:

😃 Get a big jar!
🖍 Write down 3-5 things you’re thankful for each day (bonus if you use colourful paper!😉) - pop them in the jar.
🌻 Watch your jar - and your - fill with joy and gratitude over time.

Now this is not just a paper exercise!

You are choosing where you want your attention to go intentionally and let your energy flow there. You are strengthening those neural pathways if positivity, optimism and resilience.

With each act of gratitude, you’re not just feeling better in the moment- you’re training your brain to thrive long-term. That’s the power of neuroplasticity.

So? Will you give it a go? I’d love to see photos of your gratitude jars in the comment below!

Life will always bring both; the bright moments and the stormy ones.
But what we choose to count, to focus on, makes all the difference.

You can’t always control the weather outside (or in life), but you can decide whether to tally up the setbacks… or the blessings.

When you count your rainbows (the small wins, the laughter, the connections, the lessons learned...) You train your brain to notice joy more easily, utilising - your brains natural ability to rewire itself. And over time, that becomes your default.

Because the thunderstorms will pass. The rainbows are what will keep you moving forward.

What’s one rainbow you’ve counted today?

I often talk about how important it is to have and and be confident and aligned with who you truly are.

And I also talk about how important it is to be in the right where you can be that person and truly .

Now, where we are, who we are surrounded by aren't always the most aligned with us, are they? Sometimes the weather isn't exactly playing ball either.
And that's ok. Those are the external factors that we can't always control.

But what we can always is what we bring with ourselves, can't we?

Creating the right 'environment' for you plays an essential part in that too. And this is exactly why you will always see me with at least a little bit of bright yellow, flowers, or other bright colours on. No matter where I go or what I do.

This is what makes me and allows me to be who I truly am and shine the brightest, even on the gloomiest of days...

So wherever you go, bring your own sunshine and your flowers and your yellow. Create the environment what you feel comfortable in and shine!

What is Your Yellow? What makes you shine the brightest?

Setting healthy isn’t just about saying “no” to others; it’s about saying “yes” to what truly matters for You.

Boundaries allow us to create space for our well-being, honour our needs, and focus on what’s meaningful without feeling overwhelmed or stretched too thin.

Establishing healthy boundaries with others is essential, but let’s not forget the boundaries we set with ourselves. Just like we need to protect our and around others, we also need to practice self-discipline - whether it’s limiting screen time, making time for rest, or respecting our own emotional needs. By setting boundaries within ourselves, we nurture balance and build resilience.

Remember, boundaries are a form of self-respect and self-care. They’re not about restriction; they’re about choosing what serves you best and making space for the things that bring you , , and .

Let’s do this together, shall we? 😃
What’s one boundary you’d like to set for yourself? Share below, and let’s inspire each other to protect our peace!

"Most research on the science behind why kindness makes us feel better has centred around oxytocin.

Sometimes called "the love hormone," oxytocin plays a role in forming social bonds and trusting other people. It's the hormone mothers produce when they breastfeed, cementing their bond with their babies.

Oxytocin is also released when we're physically intimate. It's tied to making us more trusting, more generous, and friendlier, while also lowering our blood pressure.

Acts of kindness can also give our love hormone levels a boost, research suggests.

Dr. IsHak says studies have also linked random acts of kindness to releasing dopamine, a chemical messenger in the brain that can give us a feeling of euphoria. This feel-good brain chemical is credited with causing what's known as a "helper's high."

In addition to boosting oxytocin and dopamine, being kind can also increase serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps regulate mood."

"If you can imagine it, you can create it. If you can dream it, you can become it." - This might sound like magic, but it’s actually the incredible power of our minds at work!

Thanks to - the brain’s ability to adapt, rewire, and grow. Our thoughts, dreams, and imaginations can truly shape our reality. When we focus on a goal or visualize our future selves, we’re not just daydreaming. We’re guiding our brain to strengthen the pathways that make those dreams possible, changing how we think, act, and ultimately who we become.

Each time we practice positive self-talk, embrace new challenges, or learn something new, we’re training our brain to support our goals. Science shows that the more we reinforce these thoughts, the stronger those neural connections become.

So, don’t just imagine or dream - embrace those visions fully! Know that with , , and , you’re shaping your future one thought at a time.

Curious to harness the power of neuroplasticity? Start small: take a few moments today to visualize a goal you’re passionate about and reflect on one action that brings you closer to it. Share your vision or goal below. I’d love to cheer you on! 😃

Ever notice how a single thought can set off a ripple, carrying us from intention to action, habit to character, and ultimately shaping who we become?

Think of your mind as a garden, with thoughts as seeds. When you plant seeds of , , and , you nurture a destiny rich with . 🌳🌻🌷
(And it will be the same with w**d too, won't it? All those negative thoughts, , calling yourself a Failure or an idiot, and so on...)

Here’s the fascinating part: our subconscious mind - a powerhouse of untapped - is always listening to these seeds we plant. It doesn’t differentiate between a fleeting thought or a deeply held belief; it simply absorbs and acts, turning your thoughts into your lived reality. By intentionally guiding our thoughts, we influence our subconscious mind to align with our truest goals and values, helping us create the life we envision.

As a Tour Guide to the Mind®, I see every day how small shifts in thinking lead to profound transformations. Each thought is a step on your way to - a chance to be intentional with where you’re headed.

So, what seeds will you plant today?
