Yet even then, I may well talk myself out of it for fear of getting it wrong, for fear of stuffing up the decision, for fear of making an idiot of myself. There was a fear for being judged, heavily, for what decision I may make and that's why my decisions had to all be perfect, they had to be exact because otherwise, I'd be subjected to judgement and criticism. At least, that's...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/no-longer-conforming-to-standards</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698a90453faa9e439becf6c4</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:35:17 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can a prayer really change it all?]]></title><description><![CDATA[I heard this prayer as a line from a character in a movie I was watching. He said it during an extremely testing time in his life and it sparked a train of thought for me. The context in which he used this prayer was much like a hail Mary with a hope that all will be taken care of, all the while believing, deep down, the prayer was futile. Now of course, I understand it was just a line in a movie but the train of thought that kicked off for me was on the basis that he wasn't truly wanting...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/can-a-prayer-really-change-it-all</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698a7e3d3faa9e439beccebd</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:35:12 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The imperfect use of 'Imperfect']]></title><description><![CDATA[Imperfection or considering yourself imperfect is kind of absurd. It is often used to imply your flaws, your misgivings, mistakes errs and graces are all acceptable. It is aimed at helping you fully accept all of you, empowering you in some way, the concept of which, in and of itself, is great. The downfall in using the term 'imperfect' however is two-fold. One, it still implies there's some kind of perfect out there, beyond you. Two, using the term imperfect to describe yourself gives you a...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/the-imperfect-use-of-imperfect</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979add6f00d9d92e2601c14</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:35:08 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear and missed opportunity]]></title><description><![CDATA[How many times have you found yourself looking back on opportunities you know you should have gone for but didn't? Can you remember why you didn't go for it? I know for me, and I'm sure you have been in a similar position, the reason I didn't go for certain opportunities was fear. I was scared of sticking my neck out and going for it, instead, I made excuses. Excuses like I'm too tired, I don't have enough time, I don't have enough money, or I've already got too many other things on. My Ego...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/fear-and-missed-opportunity</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979acfc67f9308d2972ebb4</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:35:03 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When easy becomes labouring]]></title><description><![CDATA[I remember feeling bothered by even small things I had to do – being general tasks around the house or family commitments that ordinarily shouldn't evoke any negative emotions. Ultimately, the fire within me was burnt out And if I stick with that analogy, when you're constantly pushing yourself to always do more, running from one thing to the next, you aren't giving yourself space to stop and breath. And fire needs oxygen to keep burning.  So, in depriving yourself of space to breath, soon...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/when-easy-becomes-labouring</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979ac0367f9308d2972e985</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:58 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Facing your own inadequacy]]></title><description><![CDATA[Feelings of inadequacy plague us all and these feelings, evoked by egoic thought patterns and beliefs, can play a significant role in causing low mood, laboured motivation, undeservedness, excuses and worry. There was a period where feelings of inadequacy featured heavily in my inner work. I came to see that my ego held a belief that my working hard would bear little fruit by comparison to the level of work I imagine I would need to put in. At the same time, I held a belief that I must suffer...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/facing-your-own-inadequacy</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979a93eff97fcd5f4f62750</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:53 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[The differences between the Ego and your True Nature]]></title><description><![CDATA[As you move through various stages of your growth and evolvement, you will find there's always more stages you need to move through because your inner work is never truly done! I know that sounds ominous and unappealing but remember, your purpose for being here is YOU, you are your life's work and you are most certainly worth a lifelong commitment to your own evolvement and growth. I can also promise you that, as you grow and evolve, you'll be in a greater state of clarity and objectivity....]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/the-differences-between-the-ego-and-your-true-nature</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979a7b313a746db9d7ca465</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:48 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[5 Ways to ease your Worries ]]></title><description><![CDATA[We all have a straight-out aversion, natural aversion, to putting ourselves under the microscope, even if we know it will help us. But this aversion is simply your ego at it again, resisting change by erecting walls of fear to keep you fenced in the comfortable, familiar patterns you are so accustomed to. But these sometimes-hard walls of fear are preventing you from seeing that you have very little to worry about and the patterns you're stuck in, aren't keeping you safe, they are restricting...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/5-ways-to-ease-your-worries</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979a539f00d9d92e2600a51</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:42 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Has anything really changed?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Over time, through our many and varied experiences in life, our brain downloads and files away memories, a dossier of what caused us pain or discomfort so to avoid any such things happening again. There's a healthy awareness for what can cause genuine harm such as learning early on to avoid touching fire or boiling water, your mind knows forever to keep a safe distance or be very careful around those things. Then there's being in a more consistent state of discomfort or stress that can be...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/has-anything-really-changed</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979a49ada77a8ffff066aef</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:33 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Your Self Worth vs Your Value]]></title><description><![CDATA[We all have intrinsic value, but we rarely connect with it or feel it fully within ourselves and its certainly not something we learn about. We are generally more inclined to understand the concepts of confidence or self-esteem, which are precursors of feeling the fullness of your own value. You may even be able to relate to self-worth a little more readily than your own value But Self-worth as it's been shaped through my experience, varies to how we value ourselves. They are related but they...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/your-self-worth-vs-your-value</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979a3a867f9308d2972d828</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:27 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Neglecting yourself]]></title><description><![CDATA[We have a terrible history of neglecting ourselves physically and mentally. Few of us have healthy physical routines and even fewer, have good mental health practices, instead buying into the notion that 'putting your head down and bum up' is what you need to do. Fortunately, good mental health practices are becoming more mainstream as we evolve and understand what we need to thrive as humans. For this article I think it's important to highlight what I believe are the reasons behind our...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/neglecting-yourself</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979795767f9308d29727bc4</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is the Ego]]></title><description><![CDATA[The ego is essentially the sum parts of your conditioning and innate primal wiring Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, brought about a theory of how the mind works and a method of helping people in mental distress. His studies and ultimate theory around what the personality is and how it works saw the psyche broken up into 3 parts – The id, ego and superego, all developing at different stages of our lives but namely during early childhood. The ID – it's the primal part of our brain,...]]></description><link>https://www.kyeharris.com/post/what-is-the-ego</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6979789bff97fcd5f4f5be1c</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Sep 2026 01:34:08 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Kye Harris</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
