Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry I share a simple habit that will boost our self-esteem and fend off feelings of anxiety and depression. What is it? Dressing our best of course! As introverts (especially INFPs), we can get stuck in a rut and our mental health can start to spiral downwards. So, I suggest we take the time to dress up, even for everyday activities. We’ll start to feel more confident and when we’re out and about we’ll see that confidence mirrored in the people around us....

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry I share a personal story of experiencing a "mini miracle" and offer you practical ways to shift your own mindset towards positivity.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of the world, this entry will inspire you to stay focused on the small things that are already going right in ...

Hello dear soul, Whether you're an INFP personality type or simply facing mental health challenges, in today’s journal entry I encourage us to clean up our spaces as a way to boost our mental well-being. As our inner mental space gets further away from a healthy state, we can notice that our outer physical space can start to become disorganized and chaotic. Then when we think about starting to clean up, we can feel overwhelmed and anxious! Not a great combo. So, today I share small practical ...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore powerful ways to overcome our negative self-talk and cultivate a more compassionate inner dialogue. We can use methods that most of us have heard about, or perhaps already use, like journaling, mindfulness, and talking to others.

Don’t forget to leave me a comment, and join the Lightbearer’s Library communit...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore the power of our words and their potential to harm ourselves and others. In our Western culture there is a metaphor that we live by that is described as “Argument as War”. This means conversation is treated as a verbal battle, where there is a winner and a loser. Within everyday speech tactics are used to “attack”, “defend” and “counterattack”. I look to Eastern philosophy, especially India’s concept of Ahimsa (non-violence or non-har...

Hello dear soul, In today’s journal entry, I explore how the podcasts we listen to affect our mental and physical health. As in all times in history, the world is full of “calamity howlers” or those who spread doom and gloom. Many of them are podcasters. Why do they do this? It gets the clicks! But why do we click?! Because of our brain’s negativity bias… yup, our brain is wired to pay attention to dangers in our environment and the creators of media know this. Here’s the thing though, by pay...

“There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers…. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life, not only theoretically, but practically.” Henry David Thoreau (1817-62) Walden; or, Life in the Woods (1854) — Who's the Lightbearer? Me.
