“ Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.”

– DESMOND TUTU
social media, and hear about conflicts with friends, friends or colleagues. Our feelings of hope may decrease with each negative interaction leaving us drained and filled with despair. If you are feeling this way currently you are not alone.
What you probably know intuitively however is that you can only negotiate change and challenges with grace and creativity when you feel more positive and hopeful. You may be yearning for a fresh perspective and new ways to embrace hope to counter all the difficulties present in the world. And the good news is that it is possible!

So how do we embrace hope even when times are tough?

The answer is deceptively simple- you commit to nurturing and caring for yourself each and every day. When we nurture ourselves, we can transform our perceptions colored by fear and scarcity into trust and positive expectation. Coming from this place of wellbeing allows us to feel renewed and rejuvenated and capable of handling any challenges we may face.
Embracing hope fuels our resilience and encourages us to take the next empowered step on our journey, breaking through the disempowered feelings that keep us stuck. In addition, the joy we feel when we are deeply nurtured expresses itself as positivity, hopefulness, and open heartedness in our daily lives. This positivity influences everything in our lives from how we perceive challenges, to how we respond to difficult people and situations, and even how we receive abundance and blessings.
