YBL #49: Tired of Your Own BS? Me Too. Here’s How to Break the Cycle and Grow
The idea that we eventually get fed up with our own bullshit and want to change and grow, because we know a better version of ourselves is within, is something I’ve been experiencing lately. I’ve grown tired and drained by certain tendencies that disrupt my mental peace and contentment. This quote by Elizabeth Gilbert sums […]
YBL #48: Break Free from Anxiety, Worry, Fear, and Stress
Anxiety, worry, fear, and stress rob us of life. Sure, there is a certain healthy level, as all emotions have a purpose. At the end of the day, they’re feedback mechanisms we can learn and grow from. The challenge is when they run wild. That’s the issue for many. When anxiety, worry, our fears, and […]
YBL #47: The Power of Welcoming Emotions Over Accepting Them
Welcoming an emotion is about awareness, being open to it, and learning not to fight it. Accepting an emotion, on the other hand, is giving our sense of power away to the emotion and the subsequent experience it leads to, with the premise that there is nothing we can do to change it. This leads […]
YBL #46: Self-Improvement vs. Self-Understanding
Self-improvement is hot and has a message of always improving and striving to be better that many love to bang the drum about.

What are these “things”? They are our beliefs (whether empowering or limiting), values, ideologies, and frameworks of how we see ourselves, others, […]
YBL #44: Navigating Default Thoughts & Mental Chatter
Are you aware of your default thoughts? 💭 The ceaseless thoughts that we all come back to. Over the last month, particularly the last week, my mind (or thoughts) have been loud, to say the least. It’s been challenging to quieten them and find mental peace… Through this time, while there is no “science” behind […]
YBL #43: The Best Type of Exercise 🏃♂️
With so many exercise routines, methodologies, and recommendations, when you first get started, it can be overwhelming to figure out where to start. The best place to start is with the exercise you’ll actually do—and in most cases, that’s the type of exercise or physical activity you enjoy! It could be playing sports, doing yoga, […]
YBL #42: Emotions and Anxiety
I find our emotions and feelings fascinating, yet perplexing at the same time… Sometimes, we have the words to describe them. Other times, not. Sometimes, the same emotion or feeling can be felt and experienced differently—not just by ourselves, but by others as well. It makes this whole area of our life rather open to […]
