Hi readers! I’m so excited about this post because it’s the first of a series I intend to share on some of my favourite motivational quotes, specifically about mindfulness, passion and abundance. As a transformational mindset coach, I’m constantly studying and reading to improve my craft. As a result, I’ve collected many awesome quotes along the way that I’m delighted to share with you today!
I draw on several mindfulness books I’ve read over the past few years in this post. At the bottom of this blog post, you’ll find the complete list of recommended reading if you’d like to dive deeper!

- “Your soul has many facets. Imagine a fingerprint; your soul is a million times more intricate than that.

You’ve been working on you for lifetimes.” – Rebecca Campbell, Light Is The New Black

On MINDFULNESS…
“If a thought hurts, question it.”
