Combine Sass with Spirit, Spit Shine Your Soul and Leave Your Fears at Home

Nearly 7 years ago, I took a holiday to Bali to celebrate mine and my friend’s birthday- we’re 3 days apart.

When she had to go back to work- I changed my flight and decided to stay and go to Ubud… there I stayed for 6 weeks impromptu.

It was my first intentionally deep dive into self exploration, consciously asking what I wanted from life and to learn a little more about myself.

I dived into yoga teacher training, and deepend my spiritual and philosophical understanding.

I come back to that journey’s learnings time and time again:

Ubud taught me:

• Don’t follow your head when making life decisions, it is trying to keep you safe and will restrict your growth (apply common sense).

• Don’t Try; Do.

• Pain will give you courage.

• Following your heart and intuition will lead to your purpose. Full stop.

• You have to fuck up to become bigger and better.

• Money will always come back, time won’t.

• You never need to search or force the answer, it will appear when you’re ready to listen.

• You have to die to be reborn.

• Embrace being alone, the dark and the ugly.

• Always appreciate the other persons perspective.

• Don’t presume you understand the situation or person just because it looks similar to one before.

• The only thing certain is death, so grab life, run with it and without fear.

• Choose into whom and where you put your energy wisely.

• Fire can warm you or burn you, be careful where and how you use your power.

• When you compare yourself to others, you are living their life, not yours.

• It’s about how you approach the problem, not the problem itself.

• Forgive yourself, you are not the choices you make.

• Prosperity comes from love.

• You always know the answer deep down.
