We get so much happiness and a sense of safety and comfort from the love we receive from others. Love is a gift and a need that we absolutely should enjoy and honour. But we need it from ourselves more than anyone else, and sometimes we don&#39;t realise we have not been doing enough for ourselves until we&#39;re alone.In this episode, I share a few thoughts about loneliness and the beauty of deepening our connection with self.If you’ve listened and enjoyed the episode, consider checking out my other stuff!Subscribe to the Sanguine newsletter here so you don’t miss any updates (and also because I’d love to have you be a part of the community!): https://ruqayyah.substack.comFollow @thesanguinespace on Instagram for more content: https://instagram.com/thesanguinespace

In this episode, I&#39;m talking about why we must get comfortable with being misunderstood as we evolve or when we choose an “unusual” path (or at least one that’s confusing to the people who are judging).If you’ve listened and enjoyed the episode, consider checking out my other stuff!Subscribe to the Sanguine newsletter here so you don’t miss any updates (and also because I’d love to have you be a part of the community!): https://ruqayyah.substack.comFollow @thesanguinespace on Instagram for more content: https://instagram.com/thesanguinespace

22. Get Comfortable with Being Misunderstood

It is all too easy to focus on the fulfilment or success in the lives of others and doubt our own approach/ways/path/journey/timing. Sometimes we feel the need to become exactly like them or follow the same path, even when that&#39;s not what&#39;s best for us! When we do this, we overthink and over-complicate life. In this episode, I talk about the need to tune in to our own desires and trust our intuition.

21. Stop Comparing and Trust Yourself

In this episode, we are putting an end to beating ourselves down for being at that awkward phase.I talk about why we need to let things be a little cringey, leave room for mistakes and imperfection, and allow the flawed attempts at achieving our goals to be enough. “Future you” would be SO happy you did!

20. Embrace Imperfection and Enjoy the Journey

Stop feeling like you can’t be confident because you think that you&#39;re not &#34;there&#34; yet. Too many people keep dismissing their wonderful qualities, skills, and achievements because it doesn’t seem like a big deal to them. That’s what’s keeping you small. This episode’s message is to give yourself that permission now. There are things to be confident about now! You have reasons to be confident.

In this episode, I talk about the importance of self-respect and loving yourself enough to walk away from relationships that are no longer good for you.

17. Stop Staying In Situations Where You're Not Valued

In this episode, I share how to take responsibility for your imperfect decisions. Our focus shouldn&#39;t only be on forgiving ourselves for the consequences of being wrong, but also how to learn and grow through the regret we experience.Subscribe to the new weekly newsletter, Sanguine - https://ruqayyah.substack.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thesanguinespace

16. How to Forgive Yourself for Making Decisions You Regret

Envious people often direct and project negative energy at us, leaving us feeling uncomfortable and self-conscious. It&#39;s easy to find yourself confused about what to do in these situations, especially when you&#39;re not even fully sure they&#39;re acting from a place of envy.In this episode, we&#39;ll be looking at a different perspective to handling perceived jealousy from others and why you should keep boldly creating and living your best life anyway!

15. What to Do When People Envy You

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/3/28/4/afd73465-94f2-4892-86b1-8de57c529158_tead_of_saying_affirmations_try_deconstructing.mp3

Affirmation is a very popular way to reprogram the subconscious, but it&#39;s not always easy to get it right in the beginning; for many people it feels fake and pointless. So in today&#39;s episode, I share an alternative for when using affirmations isn&#39;t helping, and the role that gratitude and contentment with what is play in our spiritual development and in the manifestation of our vision.

14. Instead of Affirming, Start Deconstructing

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/3/6/23/328a6e7b-06a0-417c-b511-5c6a820afb9f_4_types_of_baggage___how_to_release_it.mp3

We all carry some degree of pain from the past that&#39;s difficult to release. Some experiences or events are so hard to deal with that we just bury the emotions they bring up. Our attachment to past pain, disappointments and difficult emotions can be a big burden that limits our availability for better circumstances. If you&#39;re looking for some guidance on how to let go of emotional baggage, this episode is for you. I hope you get the encouragement you want to take the first steps towards a more mindful, joyful and peaceful life!

13. How to Let Go of Baggage

We&#39;re experts at making excuses that sound valid and reasonable whenever we have to. We all seem to have this endless list of stories and conditions and unrealistic criteria that we claim MUST happen, because it&#39;s easier than facing the challenges head-on. But staying attached to our excuses leads to disempowerment. Stop blaming your inaction on some unfulfilled condition or waiting for something else to happen, just decide and get things going!

12. Drop the Excuses and Make a Decision!

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2022/2/19/20/412e23d5-3bf7-435f-a8fa-bf917b450462_stop_people-pleasing_if_you_want_to_be_kind.mp3

In today&#39;s episode, we have a chat about people-pleasing, especially how it comes up in our interactions with others and how it affects the way we show up! Ending a pattern of people-pleasing doesn&#39;t mean you can&#39;t remain open, warm and kind. In fact, it increases your potential to give genuine love, kindness and compassion from your overflow.

11. You’re Kinder When You’re Not Trying to People-Please

Most of us know what we&#39;re passionate about, but the relentless inner critic in us comes up with all the convincing arguments possible against it: &#34;But I&#39;m not ready yet...&#34;, &#34;I need to learn more&#34;, &#34;There&#39;s too much competition&#34;, &#34;What if everyone laughs at me or stops liking me?&#34;, &#34;What if people don&#39;t get it?&#34;All of those things are false (or true), depends on whether you believe the thoughts! In this episode, we&#39;re talking about a perspective shift that helps you end the battle. Not exactly win, but end!

10. How to Deal with Self Doubt and Fear

In this episode, I talk about how we&#39;ve been tricked into keeping ourselves small through messages and statements that make us believe things like: &#34;If I express my greatness and shine too brightly, other people will feel bad&#34;; &#34;It&#39;s arrogant to show how good/skilled/gifted I am&#34;.Spoiler! Confidence does not make you an arrogant person. You deserve to be confident, fulfilled and to live the life you desire.

Something we don&#39;t talk about much is how we tend to feel obligated to always come up with a new list of resolutions and goals for the new year. But if like me, you&#39;re still thinking about some goals from previous years&#39; resolutions that you abandoned but still care about, this one&#39;s for you! I talk about the power of recommitting even when quitting is the much easier option.The magic happens when we don&#39;t give in to self doubt or the difficulties that make us procrastinate, when we renew our confidence and try again. It happens when you learn what you needed to learn and translate it into action.Enjoy!Follow @thesanguinespace on Instagram for more content!

8. Don't Quit, Recommit!

In this episode, we&#39;re talking about how instead of seeing social media as something to get away from, we can choose to use it differently, by making some changes to our social media habits, and create a more wholesome digital environment (both for ourselves and the online communities or spaces we interact in).I share three (though there&#39;s probably more) helpful tips and share the changes that made my experiences with these apps more healthy, rewarding and worthwhile! I really hope this episode gives you something to consider adding to your healing and mindfulness practice for mental and spiritual wellbeing.Oh also, consider subscribing if you like it! I have more fun episodes coming soon, so stay tuned...As always, thank you so much for being here.

7. Three Things I Did to Improve My Relationship with Social Media

In this episode, I take a deep dive with you into the complex world of personal growth. I talk about the unrealistic expectations that we have of growth and of our own selves, which are actually just unhelpful, limiting beliefs in disguise. We often get so excited and passionate about our growth that we adopt these beliefs that we may or may not even be aware of.I strongly believe that asking ourselves these questions and making perspective shifts is often what will transform our journey and take us to the next level of inner work! I hope you learn that letting go and embracing these truths about the self development journey is, in and of itself, meaningful personal growth!

6. Better Ways to Approach Growth & the Self Development Journey

I tried something a little different, a little more laidback in this one. I talk about how believing that people are inherently good is a good thing, and how that helps enrich our lives!

5. People Are Better Than You Think

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/9/17/17/206349bd-41c6-40f3-9d48-74cd0b3ad4ea_how_to_stop_seeking_approval..mp3

In this episode, I talk about how so many of our validation seeking habits and behaviours are seen as normal, and the impact that they have on our perceived self worth. I hope you enjoy this chat about how to break this pattern and finally be the person you wish to show up as!

4. Stop Seeking Approval and Follow Your Heart

Hello everyone! I&#39;m so excited to be back with a new episode, and in this one, I talk about the trap of working only on having better beliefs whilst ignoring the fact that we must also take action and do the work to shift our reality.

3. You've Shifted Your Mindset; Now It's Time to Take Action

Welcome to Episode 2 of the podcast!! I hope you&#39;ve been doing well and staying safe! In this episode I share my thoughts and feelings about the incidents we experienced during the peak of the EndSARS movement, their impact on us, negativity on social media in times of crisis, and a few things on coping during these difficult times.

Welcome to the first episode of The Sanguine Space! In this episode, I talk about not letting the fear of what people might think about the &#34;new&#34; you control you, how it stopped me from starting and how I&#39;ve decided to break free (partly with this podcast!) and little, practical changes we can make to help us overcome it.
