If anxiety is left unchecked, it can roam free and absolutely decimate your happiness. If you want to learn to not only control it, but defeat it, then you have to learn about it, what drives it, why it affects you. But for now, I have my top tips on how to handle it on a day to day.

These are my personal tips that I use day to day, they may not be relevant for everyone but they are what I do and they help me! So if you are a little like me, maybe they can help you too!

Grow Yourself Book Club

Welcome to The Grow Yourself Book Club

This is a safe space for you to breathe and say, you know what, I am not perfect and that is okay, I release the expectation of me and of others and I open myself up to growth and change.

I love to read and I love to read about growth. This is a short list because I learnt this very very important life lesson a long time ago. If you are going to read a book that helps you grow, it is better to read one author, pick them, study there work and implement it. Rather than read 20 books on the subject and do nothing with it.

Sea meditation

I live by the sea. Always have. Always will. Although I prefer the land and I don’t actually like surfing or water sports, I have always lived and need to be near the sea. When I wrote this meditation, I had in mind all the amazing people around me who love the sea and are suffering with not being able to control their emotions very well. Its not an easy feat, we all get so caught up in the moment. If you are someone who has a short fuse or you’re young and you’re not sure why you have all these feelings and where they are coming from. I hope this helps you :)

Entering your Villian Era

Entering your Villian Era

Entering your Villian Era is essential for all recovering people pleasers. This is not just parents, it is anyone who will always put others' needs above their own, to the point of self-destruction and self-sabotage. Remember, you are someone too and you deserve to have your needs met too. 

We are people pleasers for various reasons but we aren’t here to discuss why you are a people pleaser, we are ready to enter into a new era of self-empowerment. 

So my wonderful friend, let's talk about some of the cornerstones of the Villian Era and what you need to consider before announcing to the world on social media that this is your villain era and you will no longer be available to be taken advantage of.

Confidence 101

Confidence 101

Welcome to Ghost Jade unofficial Ted Talk on Confidence 101! This was a draft for a book I am still always updating!

I have not always been a confident person, in fact, I have been famously shy most of my life. Confidence was not born to me, I had to earn it or more specifically, learn it. I was that kid in school who would never put their hand up, even if I knew the answer because I strongly dislike attention. It always baffled me how people are seemingly born so confident, even if they aren’t like superheroes. I admire people who fight against the oppression of women's bodies with such a fierce passion. I am here writing this book because of people like Meghan Trainor and Lizzo, women who stood up confidently and defied society. That has always been my aspiration. For me to stand up against society with them and say, Actually No. You can’t take our happiness anymore, I won't let you take the dreams of these young people. They are under my protection now and I won't let you take their confidence like you stole mine.

1 2 3 Social Anxietea! Grab a tea, lets talk about doing scary stuff!

Welcome to another lesson that Jade read on the internet and realised that other people do this as well!

This is called, 1 2 3 f&%k it.

It is pretty self explanatory if I am honest. Overcoming fear is fundamental to happiness but it is also a stressful process. We have talked about how you just have to feel the fear and do it anyway so here is how we Do it anyway!

When you are out with people and it is terrifying, like you have to talk to people, it's scary, it sucks. *Ghost Jade sits in a corner avoiding people*

I Hate Communicating, Let's Talk Colours.

honest but that isn’t what we are here for! I want to explain my colour system to you!

I don’t know about you but since we were all raised to live in a society where expressing your feelings or emotions is taboo and frowned upon unless it's a mild complaint, you might have issues expressing how you feel.

*Ghost Jade nods profusely*

I am always astounded to find people who express how they feel so easily and abruptly, to everyone. I think it's a great quality because you will never catch me doing that. *Ghost Jade zips her lips*

Let's Talk About Nudity

Let's Talk About Nudity

Let’s talk about nudity because it is normal in some countries to be naked on the beach but not in others. Nudity has been highly sexualised and to be honest, we know where it comes from.

Can I hear the fellas hoot for a flash of a Victorian ladies ankle?

Getting Started: Self Love 101

Getting Started: Self Love 101

But you are here because actually, you don’t want to do this anymore. You don’t want to be a punching bag for the world. You know deep down in your soul you deserve better but years of being told you aren’t good enough, you don’t matter. Years of putting everyone else and their happiness first has left you feeling like you don’t deserve anything.

But my beautiful sunshine, you do. You are allowed to be happy, you are allowed to love yourself and you are allowed to take back. your power, live your best life and follow your dreams. You can do anything but right now I am sure it doesn’t feel like that because… where do you begin? Its like sitting alone in a massive pitch black dark room, you can’t see the doors or even which direction to take. It just feels overwhelming and isolating. But you aren’t alone, I am in the room with a large lantern to hand to you and this is it so here is your lantern, so you can get up and start searching for your way out.

Bridging the Gap Between Personal Development and Spirituality

Bridging the Gap Between Personal Development and Spirituality

I have struggled with this my whole life, bridging the gap between my pragmatic, goal getter, personal development soul and the draw I feel to spirituality and the lessons it brings.

There are so many of us out there and there isn’t a word for us, people who love spirituality a little but we also love lists, goal planning, targets, and traditional personal development. I am a very pragmatic person, I am not the sort of person who meditates and believes everything will just work out. I like steps. Taking actions and head butting my way to success.

Like we like spirituality but it often feels really overwhelming and nervous to talk about. I know for me, I was always so afraid to talk about it because I thought, people won’t take you seriously if you start spouting you like crystals and how clearing your chakras can improve life.

Practical Ways to Practice Self Love with Sydney Sage

,
Practical Ways to Practice Self Love with Sydney Sage

I hear and say PRACTICE SELF LOVE a lot but to be honest, what does that even mean? How does one even do self love? Is it just vaguely complimenting myself and buying myself some flowers?

Self love isn’t about suddenly waking up and going on look, I am SO IN LOVE with myself, I am the best! It isn’t an on switch that you can just flick, it is a constant journey towards self acceptance and love. Which I find relieving! Don’t you think it’s a bit stressful with all these people saying OH I FOUND SELF LOVE and you are like how?? and they reply with oh I just do now or I just meditated and bought a candle and now I am in love with who I am. Cause I find that intimidating, like I am doing something wrong because I didn’t love myself, like there a lot of pressure to love yourself quickly and perfectly with no direction.
