How I cured my depression and went on to become one of the top mindful brands of 2022 Thread 🧵

There are many little things in everyday living that can easily cause disunity and disharmony. Why not open your heart and ease that strain and tension gently? Love and understanding will always help to smooth the way.

Most people change strategy when life feels stuck. Few realise the signal they're broadcasting is the problem. In 2017, I lost my father and son within months of each other. I was still placing candidates within high growth startups. Still hitting targets. Still showing up. But internally? The frequency was fear. Grief. Hypervigilance. And life kept reflecting that back. Here's what I learned: Life doesn't only respond to goals. It responds to what sits underneath the words. The subconscious signal carried into every room, every call, every decision. When the broadcast is fear, chaos follows. When the broadcast shifts to gratitude and love, life opens differently. Not magic. Energy changes behaviour. Behaviour changes choices. Choices change outcomes. Here's how to shift the signal: 1. Start with one thought of appreciation Name something that already makes life feel rich. 2. Move before the mind spirals Walk. Stretch. Dance. Breathe. 3. Interrupt stress with something loving Music. Sunlight. Silence. Gratitude. 4. Repeat joy on purpose Don't wait for it. Generate it first. The frequency you rehearse most becomes the life you experience most.

Happy Easter Day. God of glory, by the raising of your Son you have broken the chains of death and hell: fill your Church with faith and hope; for a new day has dawned and the way to life stands open in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

Control feels safe. Control also creates tension. • Control demands certainty • Life rarely gives certainty • Surrender creates flexibility Flexibility beats force every time.

Most stress comes from arguing with reality. • Life happens • The mind resists • Suffering starts in that gap Peace begins when resistance ends.

The deepest transformation starts when blame ends. Blame keeps power outside. Responsibility brings power back home.

Every conflict reveals a deeper question. “What am I defending?” An ego. An image. A wound. Awareness ends many battles before words do.

The mind creates stories. The soul looks for truth. The story says, “This is happening to me.” The truth asks, “What is this trying to teach me?”

Grant, Lord, that we who are baptized into the death of your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ may continually put to death our evil desires and be buried with him; and that through the grave and gate of death we may pass to our joyful resurrection; through his merits, who died and was buried and rose again for us, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Easter Eve.

All relationships are karmic. Some people enter life to love you. Some people enter life to break you open. Some people enter life to show you what still needs healing. What people say about you often says more about them than about you. What you judge in others often points to something unresolved within you. Every relationship reveals something. A wound. A pattern. A belief. A lesson. Compassion is wise. Forgiveness is freeing. But boundaries are sacred. You do not need to hate someone to leave them. You do not need to carry bitterness to protect your peace. You do not need to stay in pain to prove you are spiritual. Bless them. Release them. Learn the lesson. Choose peace.

Have a high self-esteem but a low self-importance.

@TheKevinTrudeau Walk by faith not by sight.

Believe and you receive, doubt and go without. A simple, yet powerful sentence. How do you interpret these words?

I used to think mindset was just motivation. Repeat affirmations. Think positive. Feel better. It didn't work. Not even close. In 2017, I lost my father and my son within months of each other. No affirmation touched that pain. My nervous system was in freefall. But here's what I learned running 250km ultra-marathons and surviving Navy SEAL Hell Week: What you feed your mind becomes your default signal. Not metaphorically. Neurologically. Your brain filters reality through whatever you've been consistently consuming. Feed it chaos, fear, and noise, and that's the lens it uses. Every decision. Every reaction. Every day. So I got deliberate about my inputs: 1. Morning: no phone for 30 minutes 2. Replace news with something that builds, not drains 3. Name one thing worth protecting today 4. Breathe before reacting (box breathing, 4-4-4-4) These aren't hacks. They're nervous system resets. Your consistent inputs become your consistent thoughts. Your consistent thoughts become your consistent state. Your state creates your life. Not the other way around. What's the first thing you feed your mind each morning? I'd genuinely like to know.

What you consistently put in your mind affects what you constantly think. Your consistent thoughts are your consistent vibrations and THAT creates your reality, your life, and your level of happiness. Put in your mind the good stuff and get the “good life”!

Almighty Father, look with mercy on this your family for which our Lord Jesus Christ was content to be betrayed and given up into the hands of sinners and to suffer death upon the cross; who is alive and glorified with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Good Friday.

Fear asks, “How do I protect myself?” Love asks, “How do I express who I really am?” Every decision builds one of those lives.

Most people pray for a better life. Few people become the version required to hold it. Life changes when identity changes first. Reality follows self-concept.

Humility is a cheat code. Not self-rejection. Not playing small. Humility means low self-importance with high self-respect. Nothing to defend. Nothing to conquer. Nothing to prove.

Authentic people become lighthouses. They do not chase every opinion.
They do not bend for every room.
They stand in all weather and shine. That is why authenticity feels powerful.
It is stable.

Want a simple test for truth? The mind argues. The heart knows. The gut signals. When inner and outer communication match, truth gets louder. Train yourself to let go of what you fear losing. That is where real freedom begins.
