    #85 What does it mean to be happy and content in this life | The Principle of 'Santosha' in Yoga

    Last week I explored one of the principles of yoga which is Santosha, it's the second Niyama in Patanjali's Eight Limbs of Yoga. Santosha is the Sanskrit word for 'contentment' which reminds us to let go, soak in the present moment and what is right in front of us before getting busy to go to the next thing. This practice can be challenging because we all have our own lives, responsibilities, work, paying bills, looking after your kids and it's easy to let our life slip by before our eyes. I wanted to explore this theme because these moments of slowing down allows us to reset and recharge, not only for yourself but so you can be present and aware in your life. Reflect where in your life you're running after the next goal before being grateful for where you are. Don't let the challenges of life sweep you and wipe away all the effort it took to get you here. If you didn't give up then it's likely that you're worth fighting for, that your life deserves another chance and many more, that there's something so beautiful ahead waiting for you. What if it's not very far? It's now. It's here. It's built in the pauses, reflections and gratitude of your breath, of waking up and it's another day. You didn't have to earn another day here, you just did by continuing your way forward.

    #84 Mike Elliott: The Real Reason Relationships Fail When Care Turns Into Control

    In this episode, I had the pleasure to sit down with relationship expert Mike Elliott and talk relationships, wounds, past, masculine and feminine. Mike emphasizes the importance of embracing pain as a teacher. He states, "Pain is the greatest teacher that invites us to turn towards ourselves and to get to know what drives us." This perspective has transformed his approach, allowing him to guide high-achieving men to confront their vulnerabilities and build deeper connections.

That's what he's been devoted to and I think this is something we should all practice.

    #82 What do you do when you feel stuck and want to give up

    We think being stuck means we are failing but often it's not that you're failing or not moving ahead, life sometimes asks us to redirect our path for a better one. You do need a direction in life but you don't need to know every detail of the path, sometimes half of the marathon is done by choosing to run a marathon not by sitting and overthinking why you should run one. The marathon is a metaphor for when you're chasing your dreams, you're going to suck at it first, you will have many falls before you learn the way but you're already there if you showed up. Showing up is a part of the goal even when you start thinking that you don't know what you're doing. I hope this episode helps. 💌If you want to write to me: sarahalqhwaizi@gmail.com Socials: IG: guidewithsarah TikTok: guidewithsarah More of my work: https://linktr.ee/sarahalqhwaizi

    #81 The Power of Silence: How Solitude Brings Mental Clarity

    Packing our schedule with so many things to do separates us from what we need to do. Those quiet moments are necessary for self-reflection, re-evaluation and clarity. When we give our attention to places, spaces, people, we need to be mindful of what we're choosing.

    #80 The Psychology Behind Every Manifestation & Goal

    We all know that everything we think of, we manifest, not only in our words but also our energy and beliefs we have. Everything we desire comes from an inner pull. Find out what that is by listening to your intuition.

    #79 The Universal Law of Healing

    In this episode, I talk about the most powerful life force to heal, is love. When we let our past experiences dictate how we act now, we block away everything that is meant for us. I hope this brings clarity, healing and comfort to your heart.

I am finally back from India, I share a little bit about it here and also on my Instagram so make sure you follow me on there as well!

    76. How practicing gratitude can shift your life and negative narrative

    Have you been in times when you wanted to give up? Not seeing any progress and suddenly deciding to look away from yourself? Here's how the work of gratitude comes into place, it shifts your focus from all that is not working to all possible things yet to happen and being thankful for all the great things that we often overlook. Conserve your energy only to what matters, protect your peace even if it means walking away from what's not authentic to you anymore. It can feel like the most loneliest journey ever but on the other side is freedom to be and create the life you once envisioned. Much love & blessings, Sarah

    75. If you’re a sensitive soul and it gets too much sometimes, listen to this

    The energy of holding back and shrinking is the energy of “I’m not deserving of great things in life.” Everything that we desire, we may not get but we absolutely attract the person we are or becoming. If carrying too much and being there for everyone feels heavy, drop that weight and remember you are human too that has its own weight to take care of. I hope listening to this brings healing to your nervous system 🤍 With love, Sarah

    74. If you struggle with confidence and self-worth

    In this episode, I go deep into what makes you confident, how to raise your self-worth and live a life from love, not fear. Self-worth and confidence are close to each other, it is built through repetition, taking uncomfortable action, staying authentic to who you are, exploring in solitude to know about yourself, being aware and mindful of your choices, words and intentions. Those words have been thrown around everywhere in the self-help world and I truly want to shift and explore what it truly means. It should mean something to you. Questions you can reflect on: 1. What does confidence mean to me? 2. When do I feel the most confident? 3. Do I do the things I say I am going to do? 4. Am I doing something I love, even if it was short everyday? 5. Where in my life do I feel lack of confidence and self-worth, what can I do about it? how can I feel connected to myself? (activities, habits you need to change/quit/do) I hope this was helpful, as always I'd appreciate it if you left a comment, review and share it with someone who you know might benefit.

    73. What the present moment can teach you

    Every phase in your life brings a challenge and learning how to navigate it is a skill you can certainly master. Whether you're new to learning to be in the present moment or still learning what it means, this episode is for you. I hope it helps you in someway understand that the present moment is a lived, learned state and you can shift your awareness from being somewhere far to what life is gifting you now.

    72. You're allowed to be a work in progress and still move forward

    Your life is like a creative process, think of it like painting a canvas -> what colors would you use? what would you paint? how big/small is your painting? Don't let fear guide your direction. Your heart remembers what needs to be said and done.

    70. Is finding your purpose stressing you out?

    Grab a tea, coffee, or any warm drink you love, and settle into one of my favorite topics to talk about :) Purpose is here now. Purpose is what you can do now. Purpose is not reaching a goal, it's who you decide to show up as. It is not to be chased. Stop asking the question of purpose like I used to do in the past and instead start asking "what can I do now that is of joy?" or "what is this present moment asking from me, how can I show up today as my authentic self?" Let your present actions and values carry you to your purpose, it may change multiple times and that's okay because you're evolving as you should be. Sometimes we ask the wrong questions that's why we're not getting our answer. Leave a review below and share to grow this community, it means a lot to me.

    69. Finding resilience in the darkest times

    Strength often doesn't cry for your attention, it whispers softly in the background and transcends through people, a gentle hug, a sudden message from a friend you've been missing, a kind gesture from a stranger, a short line of courage you read from your old journal and that changes your whole mood. Knowing there's someone who cares is enough to get you through a difficult time. I hope this episode finds you where you are in life and reminds you that you're not alone. Catch you next week!

    68. Grieve the parts of you that once loved

    Have you let yourself grieve something, someone you loved so much? Grieve is part of love, it's a huge part of life and a beautiful experience at the same time that I get to share now and talk about. Let it be heavy. Let it shatter you but don't let it consume you or pull you away from love again. Your ability to grieve is your capacity to open your heart and fully love. If you're going through a big transition in your life, this episode is for you my love. I hope this helps, leave me a review below and share this episode with someone you think might need this 🩷 Blessings your way, Sarah

    67. We’re to live with ease and freedom

    The older I get, the more I realize that freedom is not just a feeling. Freedom is a whole way of living, to live with curiosity and open mind to pursue what is authentic. I encourage you to remind yourself to be compassionate, set standards and boundaries to what is okay and what isn't. You can be both at the same time. There isn't a box you're meant to cuddle and fit in. Much love, Sarah

    66. How pain turns into the healer

    In this episode, I speak about the challenges of finding the right people to connect with, where we decide to spend our energy and how we can master truth in our life without sacrificing who we are in order to fit. The more your expand your consciousness and listen to your intuition, it gets tough, yes but at the end its a win-win for you and others because you're only bringing what's true to you and through that you're clear on what you want. It's the invitation to sit with yourself and see life as it is not as you are. You are not here to prove anything or justify but to live your purpose with expression and curiosity. Lead with this energy and see how your life begins to change. Curiosity, creativity and mastering surrenderance to what comes to you. You always have something to choose from and you only have the power to change that or keep things the same. I hope this reminds you of your potential, not live in limitations. Practical way you can do this is being present in things you do, during conversations and be aware of what is happening right then. Meditation helps you with clarity and inner peace, the more you sit with yourself even when its the most tougest things to do, you are training your mind and body - reminding yourself that it is okay. It is safe. Interested in deepening your meditation practices?
