Anchored Life with Selloane Nkhela

There are several misconceptions about being a theater performer. Here is one example.

Planting a seed into your life" is a metaphorical expression representing the act of initiating positive change or growth. Just like planting a seed in fertile soil, it implies taking a small step or action that has the potential to blossom into something greater over time.

When you plant a seed into your life, you are metaphorically sowing the seeds of opportunity, growth, or transformation. This could involve starting a new hobby, pursuing a personal goal, or making a positive change in your habits or mindset.

Much like nurturing a plant, it requires patience, care, and dedication to see the seed grow and flourish. Watering it with effort, nurturing it with determination, and providing it with the right environment can lead to its eventual fruition.

Ultimately, "planting a seed into your life" suggests taking proactive steps towards self-improvement, personal development, or achieving your dreams, knowing that with time and effort, these small beginnings can yield significant results.

Are you setting goals for 2021? How are you finishing this 2020? 

Few Tips on how to start 2021

Write down your goals and objectives.

Writing down your business and personal goals for the next year is a very important part goal setting.

Completing this step can help you remember your goal and why you want to achieve it. If I don’t write something down or have it in front of me on a regular basis, I tend to forget about it.

If you can’t remember your goals, it would be very hard to achieve them. I suggest that you think about:

Creating a blog to detail your progress.
Making a vision board.
Putting post-its around your home that list your yearly goals.
Placing reminders on your phone, calendar, or whatever else you use for your to-do list.

Create a plan to reach your goals.

If you want to stay motivated with your goals, then one of the first things you should do is to create a plan on how you will reach your goals.

A plan can help you focus on the steps it will take to reach your goal, instead of feeling like you are all over the place.

Your plan should detail the steps you need in order to reach your goal, what will happen as you reach each step, when and how you will track your progress, and more. Being detailed with your plan will help you reach your goal and be successful.

We seek validation because we ultimately lack self trust and confidence. Sometimes we are simply trying to please others, which is fine to an extent, but not when we compromise our own desires. 

What is self validation?

Encouraging yourself.
Acknowledging your strengths, successes, progress, and effort.
Noticing and accepting your feelings.
Prioritizing your needs.
Treating yourself with kindness.
Saying nice things to yourself.
Accepting your limitations, flaws, and mistakes.

What is Vibration?

A periodic back-and-forth motion of the particles of an elastic body or medium, commonly resulting when almost any physical system is displaced from its equilibrium condition and allowed to respond to the forces that tend to restore equilibrium.AaScientists research effects of infrasonic vibrations in humans
by National Research Nuclear University

It is known that the human body can generate mechanical vibrations at very low frequencies, so-called infrasonic waves. Such low-frequency vibrations are produced by physiological processes—heartbeats, respiratory movements, blood flow in vessels, and other processes. Different organs of the human body produce different resonance frequencies. The heart resonance frequency is ~ 1 hz. The brain has a resonance frequency of ~ 10 hz, blood circulation about 0.05 to 0.3 hz.

The higher the frequency of your energy or vibration, the lighter you feel in your physical, emotional, and mental bodies. You experience greater personal power, clarity, peace, love, and joy. You have little, if any, discomfort or pain in your physical body, and your emotions are easily dealt with. Your energy is literally full of light! Your life flows with synchronicity, and you manifest what you desire with ease. Overall, your life takes on a positive quality.

To have hope is to want an outcome that makes your life better in some way. It not only can help make a tough present situation more bearable but also can eventually improve our lives because envisioning a better future motivates you to take the steps to make it happen.

Forgiveness: 

Psychologists generally define forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.

Happiness doesn’t need to be a vague term or illusion that you’re constantly chasing after with no end in sight. By finding your true motivation, you’ll be one step closer to realizing your happiness and finding meaning in everything you do.
