​One of the most frequent oppositions to journaling is "I don't know what to write" and "I'm not good at writing." Here is my answer to this.

When people say: “Be realistic,” what they really mean is:

“Do what everyone else is doing,”

“Don’t stand out,” and

“I can’t see what you’re seeing.”
 
If you’re a dreamer, creator, or a visionary, you believe in something that only exists in your mind - for now.

As soon as you wake up, you are starting to create a momentum. You start creating energy that will persist throughout your entire day.

​A single session coaching can be help you to: 
 
Challenge your thinking
Get a different perspective
Understand the cause of your issue
Problem solve & talk through a decision

Don’t give up your uniqueness because you’re afraid of being misunderstood. You WILL be misunderstood, especially if you’re following your own truth instead of conventional wisdom. You will be misunderstood if you challenge the norms instead of blindly follow them. Sometimes you need to make the brave choice of trusting yourself even if others don’t seem to understand you. ​

​You can only become your best self if given the right conditions, just like a seed has the potential to become the most beautiful, unique plant, but it doesn’t become so by force. It becomes so by being nurtured into it with proper care.

​We often believe that being hard on ourselves is the only way we can get to where we want to be. We think that if we loosen the grip, everything we worked hard for will crumble, and we will no longer be motivated.

​Major shifts and transformations don’t happen overnight. They are a result of consistent actions that don’t feel groundbreaking in the moment, but when repeated over time, change your life.

“It doesn’t matter if the steps you’re taking are small or large it matters if you’re having fun.”

​Stay longer in the excitement of the possibilities than in the limitations of the present. Your current situation is not forever. Don’t let it minimize your excitement for the possibilities.

Ask yourself more if you want to
rather than if you should.
 
Give yourself a choice.

Last Friday I attended the annual Women's Summit, sponsored by Kendra Scott Women's Entrepreneurial and Leadership Institute. Day was filled with inspirational and motivational speeches by incredible women.

Don’t use anyone’s success against yourself. Be inspired by it, be motivated by it, but don’t take it as an evidence that they’re better or more capable than you.

​We often follow rules for life that don’t belong to us. They have been passed onto us at an early age, but these are not our rules.

Life doesn’t start once you get to where you want to be…
​
You don’t need to first heal, lose weight, learn more, achieve goals, be in a relationship, or make more money, to finally live your life. The process of “getting there” IS life.

My dream of becoming a psychotherapist was born reading this book.
 
At the time, I was a teenager living in Serbia, having no clue how non-linear my path towards that dream will be. More than a decade later, at 28 I went back to school to study psychology and continued towards master’s degree at 32.

You don’t need anyone’s permission or invitation to be who you were meant to be.
It's not anyone’s job to allow you to pursue something that was meant for you.

Your desire is your permission. 

Everything is more fun when you actively participate in it instead of just watching others participate and have all the fun: dancing, playing sports, eating, conversations, learning, and even social media. Social media is not bad - it’s completely neutral, yet some people feel drained and anxious when using it while others feel energized and inspired.

Say “yes” to opportunities that excite you, expand you, and ask you to step into a bigger role. Trust that if you weren't ready and capable, the opportunity wouldn't present itself. 

People often seek outside help wanting to get rid of unwanted feelings and various “symptoms.”
 
A lot of these “symptoms” are not so much problems to be patched up as they are invitations to see what needs to be attended to.
