One of my favourite TV shows is Adventure Time, it is a fabulously spontaneous adventure catoon series. Yes, I am a geek because I am an adult that loves cartoons, however I have many good reasons as to why I absolutely love this show. I remembered that life is a stunning AdventureI originally got into the show when I joined my sister for some chips on the couch and she was watching Adventure Time. At first, it just seemed stupid. There was just so much random stuff going on. I thought it was immateur and not realistic. I walked off with a handful of Salt 'n' Vinegar chips mumbling that my sister was basically an idiot. Sibling rivalry can be a harsh reality sometimes friends. To my own 'detriment' I later found myself downloading the first 4 series online. Despite the harsh mumblings to my sister earlier on, I was excited as I quickly plunged into Season 1 and polished off Season 2. I felt so animated while I watched and here is why:
Every Good Adventure Story has obstacles and hardshipIndianna Jones just wouldn't be the same if he wasn't being chased by a massive rolling boulder or if he didn't have to take that leap of faith. Without all of these obstacles he wouldn't need his hat or whip and let's be honest...it would be a terrible adventure movie. Every good adventure movie is full of daring quests and hardship. It is when the hero is faced with ultimate doom, when they are beaten, squashed and diminished to a pulp that they push themselves to their absolute limit and with every ounce of courage and energy left they suddenly shine brighter than the sun. The moments of glory come from the darkest of hours. Whilst researching a little more into this topic for inspiration I came across a blogger who just put it into words perfectly for me, so I shall quote: I reckon that if you can’t treat what you’re doing like an adventure, it’s not worth doing. You might as well be dead. Why You should treat you life like an adventure
Step 1 - Approach daily problems with a laugh and a 'come at me bro' Step 2 - Embrace the element of fun into EVERYTHING you do Step 3 - Watch ADVENTURE TIME - The characters have been developped so beautifully over the 8 seasons of the show. I truly believe they will be your greatest mentor in living you life like it is an adventure. Until next time, Brittlz

You have unlimited choiceOne of things that I absolutely love about being human, is our ability to choose. We are surrounded by choices every day, every hour, every second and every millisecond; from deciding whether you should stay in the job you don't like, but it pays the bills, to whether or not it is an appropriate time to fart. Choices are everywhere. It's amazing, this realization I have come to, that we are literally in abundance of choice. It's amazing to me because for so long, I felt so limited and so far from 'the world is your oyster'. Why can't life just work out so I can get what I want? It's so hard to choose myself when there is so much other stuff going on, right? Wrong. You are choosing to put yourself second and your problems first. Yes, there are problems coming up all of the time, and we each need to face these problems, but you're kidding yourself if don't think that you and your dreams aren't your top priority. Choose you, and you will ignite your life into a life you love. The Illusion that we have no choice: Just a Good ExcuseIt's so easy to get lost in the mind-set that you have no choice. It's too hard, there's so much paperwork, you don't have enough money, there's just not enough jobs around at the moment, you're just so tired, no one else will like it, you have too many commitments. Yes, these are certainly obstacles one must over come, but they're really all just big FAT EXCUSES. Any excuse to not have the personal responsibility to take yourself further, any excuse to remain in your comfort zone, any excuse to not face your fear of success or to take that vital first step that could surely lead to failure. Why are you afraid of failure? Why are you afraid of success? Why are you afraid of discomfort? No one can take away your freedom to make a choice, but you. So why do you care about what other people think? if life is gonna be a bitch anyway, why not embrace this new kick-ass attitude and go with the flow? People pleasers: You can't choose you and please everyoneWhen I was 19 years old I had extremely low self-esteem and I desperately wanted to be liked and accepted by everyone else. I was so afraid of not belonging or not being loved that I would completely reject anything that I wanted so that I could please someone else. I was at the bottom of the list and so were my dreams...slowly being forgotten. 'What movie do you want to see Britt?' 'I don't mind, I'll like whatever you want to see'. 'I'm ordering food, got any suggestions Britt?' 'I'm happy with whatever you want'. 'What music do you want me to put on Britt?' 'Put on that quirky metal band that you like' I passed off what I desired and what I liked as an individual for so long that I became so deprived, that I actually had no idea what I enjoyed at all. I went completely numb and there was nothing individual about me. I felt empty. I was depressed and lost. And the worst part was that no matter how much I succeeded in pleasing everyone else, I felt more lonely than ever. Because what does belonging matter if you have forgotten who you are? Choose you and you won't have to worry about who else is in your life. The right people will be attracted to who you are Signs you are a people PleaserPeople pleasing is full of good intentions but if inner peace, happiness and a life that you love are your goals, it will never work. Because to attempt to please everyone else means that you will never come first. In case you might not be aware, here are some signs that you are a people pleaser:
So you gonna keep making excuses or will you take back your life?The first step is to ask yourself whether or not you are happy to continue living your life half asleep (comfort zone), in a slow zombie state or if you actually want to feel like you are living? Life is supposed to be full of ups and downs and it is supposed to feel like you are constantly on the edge of your seat. It has been like this my entire life, whether I wanted it to or not. So if life is gonna be a bitch anyway, why not embrace this new kick-ass attitude and go with the flow? I know that it can be scary sometimes and I know that there are lots of people and governments and companies telling us that we should be afraid and that everything is really difficult. In many ways we have every right to feel scared and life is really hard...but I tell you what, it has been an incredible journey since the day I decided to trust myself in this roller coaster called life. Life is an Adventure: start treating it that wayIf you choose to see life like a fight to the death, then you're daily commute to work will certainly feel like you're driving to the grave. On the other hand, choose to see life as an adventure and be a real life Indianna Jones, then suddenly nothing will go wrong anymore. Everything difficult that comes at you is more like a quest rather than a problem. Each quest giving you skills and qualities that will take you to the final battle, and you'll be ready for anything. Commit 100% to youWant to start living your dream life? Then choose to start living the life that you love right now. Commit 100% to you, your dreams and desires. choose you
- Try to start caring about what you think. You do matter, you are important, so start thinking and start acting like you do.
- Eat good food, stay clean, have a good laugh when you can, look for fun and joy and book yourself that massage more regularly. You deserve it.
Take that Indianna Jones leap of faith! It's worth it. Above all, choose you
I relentlessly searched for people who could make me feel validated, important and pretty. Some of my closer followers might have guessed that I recently went through a break-up; particularly if they had read my post The Heart-Break Cure; a post that was very therapuetic for me to feel my emotions to then find healthy ways to fill the gap. The break-up was more-or-less mutual after all emotions were pushed aside, and so my recent hardship isn’t so much missing him anymore – although, I still think of him often – it is more that I didn’t realize how emotionally dependant I had become. My biggest lesson and most horrifying shock this last week is realizing how much I had leant on him emotionally…all the time. It was no wonder that the break-up had to happen. Energy drainers are not evil, they are just regular people who have lost themselves. Draining energy from other people comes from the simple fact that you have allowed your own energies to get so low that you need others to help you feel energized. Post-breakup: with a sudden gap in my being, I relentlessly searched for people who could make me feel validated, important and pretty. It is unfortunate that my energy draining ways were revealed to me by someone new in my life admitting that we couldn’t hang out anymore; I pushed at their personal boundaries and I made it all about me and how amazing I was. Any relationship - family, friends, partners and collegues – should be a two way street my friends. You are not evil, you have just lost yourself We are not evil, we have just lost sight of who we are. Why do we need other people to lean on? Because we don't believe in ourselves enough to be able to stand on our own two feet. Just because you might be an energy draining leech at this point of your life, does not make you a horrible person. I don’t think that I am a horrible person, I think what I put myself through was horrible. You are not good enough, you are not pretty enough, you are not smart enough, you are not thin enough, you are not strong enough...Enough with the ENOUGHS! Believe me when I say you ARE good enough, but you are the only person who can say this that needs to believe it. We are all just looking out for what is best for us. We only want to be happy and to feel safe and sometimes we aren't always aware of the best way to go about it. What are the signs you are an energy leechRecognizing and becoming aware of the signs that you are an energy drainer is a harsh slap in the face to say the least. The good side however, is that you can only move forward and once you understand why you feel so low; things can only get better. 1. Attention Seeking Do you vent about the same trauma’s constantly? Not to sound harsh, but do you sometimes get the feeling that you complain a lot?! You probably do then. I did, I felt that I could never get ahead and that life just wanted to suck me dry. I was constantly bringing up all of the bad things that happened in my day. What I have learnt recently is that people will still find me interesting without my sob story, in fact, people find me more interesting! 2. Needing constant reassurance or validation This can range from wanting to be constantly showered in compliments to looking for people to throw themselves at you so that you feel special and important. I didn’t feel special anymore, I didn’t feel like that special girl who had this mysterious man finally open up to someone. It was a harsh reality, that I could no longer allow him to feel safe when sharing with me. I relentlessly fished for this in strangers and collegues, that ability to let people come out of their emotional shells. My agenda was never in it for helping others though, I wasn’t looking to see into their souls, I was looking for importance and power within myself. 3. Creating lots of problems or drama in your life Everything and anything can be a problem if you want it to be so. The choice is completely up to you. Life is a matter of perspective; the doors swing open if you are open for change or they are closed if you are closed off to new opportunites. Look at it this way, life can be one big problem full of little problems trying to make your life a living hell or...life can be one massive opportunity to grow full of lots of little lessons that will help you become the best person you can be. Look for love within yourselfI was without a doubt in my mind, an energy draining leech. Sounds harsh, but sometimes the reality is harsher than we would like it to be. The point of all of these harsh realities is that if we choose to push through the dirty coal, you will given the chance to create a diamond. The choice is yours, keep living a half-life like voldermourt or choose to live a life that is completely empowered by you. If you can relate to any of these signs or you're just not feeling to happy with yourself lately, then the best thing you can do is look for love and validation from within yourself. The entire planet's population could tell you that you are an amazing and beautiful human being, but the only person who needs to believe it, is you. Why Can't I be Happy All the time?
Sadness is not bad, it is poetic in a life-long journeyI might not be happy all of the time and it might take a boot up the butt to get me out of bed, but I tell you one thing, I always follow my own advice. The advice I have for myself right now is this: sadness is completely and absolutely necessary in this life-long journey, everything will be ok kiddo Time and time again, sorrow has eaten me alive and negativity has overwhelmed me in more ways than one. Yet here I am. After everything that has happened, I am still standing. In this moment my body feels a little battered and shaken, but my mind now has a degree of understanding for myself, that I can feel safe to actually feel what is happening inside. When I flood myself with the intention of feeling open, my mind guides me through my feelings of sorrow and confusion, it lets my feel the knot in my stomach and the ache in my chest, without fear or judgement. With the mind-set I will share with you below I am able to keep my life moving forward, this mind-set is how I continue to developed a healthy relationship with my mind. The journey is life-long, the ups and downs will never stop coming but they are completely necessary for your growth. Mind-set: How Can This Experience Change ME?Yes, I am not happy or motivated all of the time however, with this mind-set I am about to share with you, I have been transforming and healing myself daily.

How Can You REcognize When A nEw Doorway Is Open?
Explore what you are feeling in your body and mind
Keys to the doorways:
These are some basics that you can copy down and try to remember whenever you are engulfed by negativity. It is different for everyone and each experience is completely unique and personal to you, so modify how you feel works best for you. Ask yourself: what can this experience teach me and how can I grow? For those of you who are feeling stuckI highly recommend embodying this mind-set if you are someone who feels stuck in a rut or lost. By actively feeling your emotions and playing out your thoughts and then asking how you can grow, you begin a process of movement. This mind-set will really help you to get the ball rolling again if you feel stuck or lost.
This morning, I gave-up on myself before I got out of bed!This morning, I gave-up on myself before I got out of bed! We all have these moments right? You wake up and you just feel absolutely terrible in every way possible. Tired, lazy, sick, sore, heavy. The day seems so unreachable and your goals seem so far away and fuzzy, that you can't help but think 'I'm not good enough to be able to do all of this!' And then you just roll back over feeling sorry for yourself. That was me exactly this morning. Not to mention, I stupidly signed myself up for this #morningroutinechallenge. How could I possibly gather the energy to get up and look after myself?! I was awake for 2 hours before I decided to lift my head and see that the sun was shinning outside my window. the darkest moments are right before dawnSuddenly! A spontaneous thought appeared in my mind: what's the worst that could happen? I sat straight up, I rolled back my shoulders and stretched out my knuckles, I pushed all my shit that was on my floor out of the way and I started doing burpees! You wouldn't believe how good this actually felt, I couldn't believe that for the very first time since I began this challenge, I actually felt like I was DOING BURPEES! I felt my body lighting up. My body wanted to move so badly and it felt so enthusiastic and joyous to be taking on this day with so much vigour! Thankyou! I just want to show you how far we have come! You FEll Down? Get the Fuck Back up!Yes, I am feeling a little bit aggressive writing this for you this evening, but you have to understand the incredible transformation that happened in that moment. When I felt encroached in failure and darkness I asked myself :what's the worst that could happen? I did not let my negative thoughts bring me down, I did not let my sour feelings of failure stop me from igniting my true potential. The best part? Is that yes I felt epically strong and balanced, but I thought that if I keep strving everyday, I could feel that my potential is so infinitely unlimited! The Moment you give up is the chance you've been waiting for to transform your lifeThe moral of this story my friends, is that every moment in your life, you have an opportunity to decide how you will live your day. When you are at your lowest, that is when you are at your most open and ready for change.
The moment you give up, stop and think a little longer, then say fuck it! Get up and do what you are here on this Earth to do. I guarantee that you will never feel more empowered than the moment that you decide to find the light inside of you and throw some deisel on it. Peace out my friends and er' er' to DARE TO IGNITE Life Changes Like the WindIn life, the only consistencey that we can rely on is that change is inevitable. Life will flip you upside down and turn you inside out. Life will throw new people at you and take some people away. Life will take you to new places or life will make you stay a little longer. Holding life to your personal expectations is unrealistic and you will forever be chasing a happiness that doesn't exist. You never know what is going to happen. Life changes like the wind; it is fleeting and agile and all we can do is go with the flow. It is not probable to think that life will turn out as expectedNo matter how organized, prepared, diligent or 'on-top of things' you are, life is chaotic and you can never know what will happen next. There are trillions of variables affecting the possible outcomes occurring down to the millisecond; from you leaving your house 1 minute later to someone dropping some rubbish next to the bin. Let your imagination run wild, everything that occurs has millions of possible outcomes (Rick and Morty show you plenty of examples) Your expected outcome has 1 : 1 000 000 000 chance of occurring. Living life expecting things to happen the way you want themto, is unrealistic. Throw society's expectations out the windowGo to school, grow up, go to school some more, get a job, become successful, get married, have kids, continue to be succesful, buy a gigantic house and go on lots of getaways... Soctiety expects alot out of you and these expectations have been thrown down our throats since we were children. It's no suprise that we are so dissatisfied when life doesn't go our way. The only way to be recognized and to feel like we belong is to match the status quo. Or so they say... Pre-requisite: Let go of who you should beNot belonging is a scary thought. The fear of not being loved is probably the biggest cause of everything f***ed up in this world. The reason you don't feel like you belong, is because you are not being true to yourself. Stop trying to live up to the status quo and who you should be. Let go of what anyone else expects you to do. Remeber, this is your life and only you can choose how to live it. Take some deep breaths to yourself and when you are by yourself and your mind is calm, ponder this: If the world suddenly developed amnesia, who would you be? There are no expectations on you to acheive anything, all you have to do is live and do things that bring you joy and let you be creative. How would you think, how would you act, where would you go and what would you do? Life is a game of perspectiveI've said this before and I'll say it again. Life is a matter of perspective. You can't control what people think or what they do, you can't control the weather and you can't control that meteorite hurtling towards the Earth...jokes, but you get the point. You can't control the world outside of you, but you can control how you choose to perceive it. All of your power lies within. The wonderful thing about being human is that we have the ability to choose every step of the way. Inner strength is the ability to choose the light even when you are encroached in darkness. A great storm can be seen as darkness and devestation or you can choose to watch nature in all of its powerful glory. The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails. - William Authur Ward Develop confidence in yourself and Adjust your sailsLife changes a lot, there's nothing you can do about that. But you can choose to be the best version of yourself so that when change does happen, you'll have a skip in your step.
The simplest way to be the best version of you is as follows: Nourish you body with food that it deserves.
Heartbreak feels like a part of you has gone missing. Heartbreak feels like there is a void occupying your chest. Heartbreak challenges your worth and you question if you were ever worthy of love. You sob to yourself 'how on earth will I get through this?' You taunt yourself about the ways that you are not good enough. You judge yourself for being so stupid. One feels heartbreak physically in their body, in their heart and deep in their stomach. There is nothing wrong with feeling heartbreak – however painful - it's when you try to think yourself through a heartbreak that you might lose yourself. You will never find inner peace with a victim and a judge on your shoulder. If you feel like crying, let your tears flow truthfully and authentically. If you need to wrap yourself up into a ball on the floor to comfort yourself, then do so with warmth and love STEP 1: RECOGNISE YOUR VICTIM AND YOUR JUDGeThe biggest culprits for a long and difficult heartbreak are your inner judge and your inner victim. Your inner judge and victim are apart of your ego; they are toxic and they will attempt to steal your identity by making you question your self-worth. Did you really deserve to know this person? How did you ever survive without them? Who even are you, without them?
If you listen to these parts of you, then you will never find peace or growth. Learn to recognise and become aware of when you are pitying or judging yourself. STEP 2: STOP LISTENING TO YOUR VICTIM AND YOUR JUDGE The solution is simple; stop listening to them. Do not indulge in these thoughts that question your worth and validity; by listening and believing in these thoughts, you are allowing your inner Judge and inner Victim to live on inside you. Stop taking them seriously and they will eventually dissolve away. If you catch yourself judging yourself or victimizing yourself;
STEP 3: FLOW LIKE WATER AND EMBRACE YOUR GRIEF Grief is very real and should not be suppressed; you are not weak by feeling emotions of deep hurt. If you feel like crying, let your tears flow truthfully and authentically. If you need to wrap yourself up into a ball on the floor to comfort yourself, then do so with warmth and love. If you feel anger and rage then growl and run and find a bag to punch. The important thing to note is to never dwell in your grief. If you dwell in a destructive thought pattern created by your victim or judge ego then you are not releasing anything, you are creating more problems for yourself. Think of it like a flowing stream: the blocking thought patterns like “I am not worthy of love” are sticks and mud. The more sticks and mud that are in your stream, the less your stream will flow and eventually it will become stagnant and sick. By not indulging in your judge and victim thought pattern as mentioned in Step 2, you are allowing the sticks and mud to loosen and flow down your stream, soon the water will become clear. Then you can flow down your stream, forwards and with clarity. STEP 4: RECREATE WHAT YOU MISS ABOUT THEMWhat do you miss about them? Was it their calm and collect presence? Was it their kindness, their love, their boldness, their abruptness, their honesty or their dark sense of humour? Take some time alone and really ask yourself why you were drawn to this person. Remain calm and try not to ramble and list off every possible thing that you miss about them – this will lead you back to your judge and victim egos. What were the 2 major qualities that you truly admired about this person? How can you recreate these qualities in your life? The qualities that you admired so much, offered you a new perspective. It brought you a new and fresh way to look at the world. Instead of leaning on this person to gain this perspective, embody it fully within yourself.
I like to think that everything happens with divine purpose. Everything has meaning and so you can learn and grow from every experience that is presented to you. So why not invite these qualities that you admired so much, into your own portfolio of traits? It can only take you higher. THERE IS NO QUICK FIX Heartbreak is real and it is painful and as sorry as I am to say this, there is no quick fix. Energetically, heartbreak is when your heart energies are forcefully severed. This gives you feeling of a void in your chest, because an energy has literally left you. Feel your heartbreak and learn from your experiences; in time all hurt will pass and you will come out stronger because of it.
Life can be so terribly complicated; with so many rules to follow and so many mandatory things to do in order to live in modern day society. The western world ‘luxuries’ like cars, a home, phones, clothing, make-up and even having a social life, can all just end up being one gigantic burden sitting on your shoulders, yet they are all extremely necessary to survive in our western world. A world with too much to think aboutThe issue that I see is that there is just so much to think about; so many things to look after and to keep paperwork on, so many passwords to remember and all of this pressure to be perfect and successful and tall and thin and muscular and manly. On top of all of this, you need to exercise regularly and eat healthy and go to your GP regularly and Doctor Google says that from your latest symptoms you are terminally ill and have 5 minutes to live! Just writing that sent my blood pressure through the roof. What you just read, describes a little thing that I call, ‘the thinking trap’. If you are good at finding problems in the world, you will always find something to worry about What is the thinking trap?
This can all become a little too much on your poor soul If you’re anything like me, I was someone who had a mind with hundreds of monkeys and they just wouldn’t be quiet! I used to pride myself on knowing every phone number, single-handedly managing every appointment for myself and my entire family, I was in constant motion concerned with the welfare of others and I was a full-time university student with a full-time job. After a year of this at my peak number of monkeys or things to think about, I had a complete meltdown and developed severe anxiety and depression. I sought to become minimalist and a nomadSince my melt-down, I have since been slowly ‘down-grading’ my lifestyle luxuries so that I will have less responsibilities and so that I can focus more on developing myself.
Minimalism helped, but did not quell my anxiety Yes, I felt a big weight lift off my shoulders by letting go of all of my material possessions, yet even after all of these huge changes I have made to my minimalist lifestyle, I still find myself being caught thinking a thousand things at once. It is great to not have to worry about keeping my car clean and paying for registration, but cycling everywhere has it’s own problems: you worry about being taken out by a car, you worry about being late and getting lost and there’s the constant problem of not being smelly all of the time. If you are good at finding problems in the world, you will always find something to worry about. 2 Guidelines for the chronic thinker1. You can’t change the past and you can’t predict the future, so why are you worrying about it? Life is all about living in the present; you cannot live in the past and the future will never technically arrive. The best advice I can a chronic thinker like myself is to take 1 step at a time; everytime you catch yourself thinking of your next to–do item, stop and refocus on the task at hand. 3. Accept reality and don’t sweat the small stuff Life doesn’t always go the way you planned, but what is done, is done. The best thing for you to do is to ask yourself is, what can I do right now to better my situation?. Yes, there is still the future to worry about but better to fall down forward than to not move at all because you are too afraid to. Remain focused on your goals and don’t sweat the small stuff. Everything will be alright, you are magnificent, brilliant and a totally unique person who is a lot stronger than you give yourself credit for. Love, Brittlz I will leave you with this:Meditation has become a scary wordMeditation is a buzz word these days. I find that there are so many people talking about the benefits of meditation and why your should do it, but without telling you HOW to meditate. So if you're anything like I was, you just sit cross-legged, feeling uncomfortable in your back and your hips and all you want to do is scratch your nose and fidget with your hands. In your head you can't stop thinking about trying to STOP thinking and then you do the worst thing possible and start to beat yourself up, because you're the only one who can't do this meditation thing. Listen up:
Basic meditation guide: step-by-step1. Find a quiet place to sit cross-legged/in a chair or lie down
Take 10 deep breaths, inhale as much as you can and exhale as slow as you can with out feeling puffed. 3. Bring your attention to the sensations of your body when you breath in and out.
Of course there are. Thoughts are natural because we all have a mind. Don't get upset if you find yourself getting lost in a train of thought, simply imagine your thought pass by like a cloud and go straight back to feeling the sensations in your body.
Keep breathing deeply and feel your enitre body working together; a single pulse keeping all of your different parts working as one. If you have any thoughts, don't get upset, just let your thoughts pass by and go back to feeling your body. 7. Breath like this until you feel calm and peaceful...and then maybe some more. There are many different forms of meditationThis technique is very basic but it is my go to because it is so simple, especially when I am feeling stressed or anxious. There are many different styles and teachings of meditation that you might find better suited to you. Check out this link for a list: http://liveanddare.com/types-of-meditation/ I am not a master in these different styles and techniques so I would recommend utilizing youtube guided meditations if you find some in this list that you like. This meditation technique is also very good as a warm up. As you continue to up the time you spend meditating, you will soon be able to use this meditaion as a lead up into another technique. The technique above is good for quieting the mind and becoming one with your body. Mythbuster: You don't need to meditate for hours for the practice to workAt first I couldn't even sit down quietly for 5 minutes, so I reduced my breathing time down to 3 minutes. Once I became comfortable with 3 minutes, I upped my time to 4 minutes.
At one point I could meditate for 30 minutes, but then I stopped practicing and struggled to finish 5 minutes. This is ok, just start back at 3 minutes and build yourself up again until you are more comfortable. |

It took me a long time to realize that I don't really fit into societies model that you need to go to school, find a career, strive to be extremely succesful to then get married and have kids, ever acquiring material objects. There is nothing wrong with this model at all and for those who can embrace this with whole-hearted happiness, keep going with it. Archives
