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 :)

An Open Letter About Instagram Bullshirt!

An Open Letter About Instagram Bullshirt!

Hi squad, 

I want to talk more about Instagram bullshit and culture and the comparison problems we all have. I try to keep my channel all about personal growth and healing and becoming happy but I still get bombarded with negativity and not from my feeds, I get to watch all of my amazing squad everyday be grateful for things and achieve goals and I love it all. But I also suffer from Instagram anxiety and its because I get Direct Ad targets. I used to love them, the algorithm knows exactly what type of shoes I like so shopping was so easy. But at the moment, I get BOMBARDED with ads saying things like: 

Want to be successful? Here is the secret you are missing? 

Is Competition Really Healthy?

Is Competition Really Healthy?

Is a competitive spirit actually hindering our growth? Affecting our self love? Ruining our mental health? Competition has always been good for pushing us to be the best versions of ourselves. Pushes us outside of our comfort zones. But how can it secretly been also ruining our mental health and making us feel unworthy and undervalued?

Judgement

Judgement

Does negatively judging someone make you a bad person?

Short answer, no. It doesn’t. As humans, we judge people, we are biologically programmed to do that, it's a survival instinct. Knowing that, I have never tried to be too hard on myself when I find myself judging someone because, we all judge and I know that is what causes a lot of mental health issues like paranoia and anxiety, you judge, therefore, you will judged.

How Do Weight loss and Body Positivity Work Together?

How Do Weight loss and Body Positivity Work Together?

When you see or hear about someone who is body positive, the instant assumption to that is that they are Anti Diet. An easy assumption to make and something I actually had to deal with when I finally accepted my body for how it was, I found myself on one of my many “Diet programs” just stalling. All motivation stopped for me to lose weight.

Momentum

Momentum

Momentum and how it is your best friend in achieving your goals.

Momentum has always been explained to me like this.

Picture a giant steam train stationary at the station. To get that big beast moving, you have to use an extreme amount of energy to get it moving. A huge amount of coal and fire and a team of hard working humans to get the thing to move an inch.

Core Values, Visualisation and Light

Core Values, Visualisation and Light

Core values are the fundamental beliefs of a person. For example, honesty. If you value honesty and you are doing something that is dishonest, you will become disconnected from your core. 

Our core values were instilled upon us when we were young, for example, when I was young, I watched a lot of Disney princess movies and a lot of their morals were instilled into me, protecting the weak (Esmerlda), hard working (Tiana), adventure (This was Tin Tin). 

The 12 Cornerstones of Happiness

The 12 Cornerstones of Happiness

I once did an activity that blew my mind and I am about to share it here for you.

Grab a pen a paper and write down, in order, who the most important people in your life are. (or do what I did and just think it)

Stop reading and go do it! I see you thinking about just reading on.

Have you written it down or visualized it yet? Did you sit there like I did and debate which one of my sisters was higher on the list and then decided they are equal and I could never pick so you just went Sisters?

4 Week Self Love Programme

4 Week Self Love Programme

So I want to start a discussion about Self Love. Everyone’s first instinctive reactions are negative. It’s bad to love yourself or that it is dirty in some way (we aren’t going to go into That kind of self love but get to it! Love your whole self, including your sacral chakra!)

I’ll start by telling you a story about a phone call I received from my sister one day.

HEY JADE, I HAVE A MASSIVE PROBLEM.

And I was like OH GOD WHAT! How can I help? WHAT IS THIS PROBLEM THAT WARRANTS A PHONE CALL!!

Then she said to me. Not enough people at the gym are complimenting my butt.

7 Day Detox Review

7 Day Detox Review

I spent 7 days doing a processed food detox after I realized I was uncontrollably (or felt like) addicted to shit food. All I wanted was chocolate, all day, every day. I wanted anything that would give me a sugar hit to get me through the day. Most notable was my dependence on Coke zero for a mood boost and my annoying addiction to Easter treats. I don’t even like chocolate so I felt like I was loosing my sanity a bit. So I committed to going through full detox with no exceptions, No 80-20 rule, NO well no one saw me so its okay, Absolutely NO well I didn’t get an Easter egg this year so i’ll just eat EVERYTHING. Nada.
