What would you like to manifest in your life? Simply decide to have it now

What if I told you that with one simple decision you can change your life? What if I told you that with one simple decision you can get healthy, prosperous, successful or happier? What if I told you that your true power lies within yourself, and by changing your perspective you can shift anything you want in your life.

So, what is it that you truly desire? What would you like to accomplish? What would you like to see happening in your life now? Is it having more finances, a new career, better health or a beautiful relationship? Simply decide.

When you make a decision, you are putting your invisible desire out to the universe and saying, you are ready to see it in your physical reality. Of course, this process may take a little while, but this is entirely up to you and the frequency you put yourself on. It also depends on your belief system and your feeling about it.

Do you feel worthy of your desire? Do you truly believe it can be yours? If so, you are closer than you may think. Feel the feelings of already feeling how you are going to feel when your desire is manifested. Visualising and feeling your desire with you now are the secrets of a creative process. You have to see it in your mind’s eye and feel it within the whole level of your being before it happens. 

Your decision changes everything

Making a decision about what you truly want, means stepping out of your current frequency into a new and higher frequency. This will start creating your new reality. Your current reality is the result of the choices you have made up to this point. If you want to change that reality, you have to change your frequency. And you change your frequency by making a new, conscious decision. This way, you begin the process of re-programming your mind.

My boyfriend and I are currently in the process of changing our perspective on things we thought wouldn’t be possible. We are re-programming our mindsets, making new and exciting choices and letting go of old stories and beliefs. It is a very refreshing process. The results we are starting to see are incredible, and new ideas and possibilities are lining up in front of us almost on a daily basis.

The power lies within you

You are an amazing universal artist and you should start using your magical power now. Start creating the life you desire. You truly deserve it.


8 powerful daily reminders

In this fast pace moving world, we often forget to remind ourselves what really matters in life. I believe there are many things we can say to ourselves every single day and they can have a positive impact on our lives. Let’s be honest: Life doesn’t have to be so serious. It should be joyful and adventurous. After all, it is an amazing journey that we should all treasure. Listed below are 8 of my favourite things I began reminding myself every single day and as a result of that, I’m starting to see some great results.

1) You are good enough just as you are

You are good enough just as you are. You have nothing to prove to anyone. Remind these words to yourself every single day, especially in this social media era, where everyone compares to themselves to each other.

2) You create your own reality

Many books and articles have been written about the law of attraction and manifesting. The point I want to make here is this: Be mindful of your thoughts, they create your reality. Your outside world is always a reflection of your inner state.

3) Your dreams can come true

Your dreams can definitely come true if you have the courage to pursue them. Keep taking action every single day towards your dreams, keep working and keep learning from your mistakes. Never give up, your dreams can come true.

4) Be kind to yourself and others

Always be kind to yourself and others. One kind word can change somebody’s entire day and even their life. The same applies to you too. Stop being so hard on yourself and speak kindly to yourself.

5) It’s okay to take rest and don’t feel guilty about it

I must admit, I can sometimes be a workaholic. I have to force myself sometimes to take rest and don’t feel guilty about it. Taking rest is essential to our wellbeing and we should really make it one of our priorities. I’m noticing more and more how much my perfomance improves and how much more after I get done after a proper rest.

6) Be grateful

Gratitude turns what we have into enough. Ask yourself: What am I grateful for today? Get a piece of paper or your notebook/journal and write it all down. This can set your day on a positive frequency.

7) Listen to your inner wisdom

Your intuition is your greatest guide. I often say to people, when you want to make the right decision don’t only ask yourself what do I think about it, but most importantly is to ask yourself: How do I feel about it? Pay attention to the signs in your body, to your feelings and visions. Don’t ignore them, trust them.

8) What has happened served its purpose

We often travel back in time and pay for the same mistakes just by thinking about them. Past is not here anymore and there is nothing that can be changed about the past, only your approach towards your past can be changed. Remember that what has happened served its purpose. Learn from it and focus as much possible on the present moment ~the only place where the true life exists. 


Exciting News: The Mystic Butterfly Notebook is here!

I am so excited to share with you that I recently created my first Mystic Butterfly Notebook with a help of two amazing women, my wonderful sister Maria, a talented artist and a creative and lovely Jane, a graphic designer and author. The notebook will be officially out very soon and I will be announcing the date in the next couple of weeks.

The Mystic Butterfly Notebook can be used in a couple of ways:

1) It’s here to accompany my book Mystic Butterfly ~a guide to your true self

I strongly encourage you to use it when you are working through the exercises in the book. Write it all down and keep it as a guide you can refer to.

2) To begin each day by listing things you are grateful for & fill the rest of the pages with your thoughts, feelings, dreams & visions for the future

Every left-hand side page begins with a saying: Today I am grateful for… which basically means, you can use it as a journal. Start each day by listing things you are grateful for. When you adopt this as a daily practice, you can set yourself on a positive note first thing in the morning. Remember that when we are grateful for what we already have in our lives, that often turns everything else into enough. What a wonderful exercise to begin the day.

At the bottom of every right-hand side page, is a positive affirmation (a different one for every day), which is designed to inspire you. Fill the pages of your notebook with your thoughts, feelings, dreams and visions for the future. It is yours and you can say it all your secrets and desires.

The notebook comes in a hardback cover format and has 154 pages.

I can’t even express how happy I am about this new creation and I really believe it will serve you well. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me: jana@mysticbutterfly.co.uk and I will get back to you within 48 hours.


A few ways to ‘Spring-clean’ your mind

Every time I do spring cleaning at home, my mind gets cleared at the same time. So last week, I’ve decided to take on the task of doing some major clear out in my apartment.

The truth is, in the last few weeks, I’ve been feeling a little low. One of my friendships ended suddenly and the whole situation left me emotionally drained and disappointed. If that wasn’t enough, several other things have been going wrong from having quite a few unexpected expenses to an overload of work.

After being in a pretty low state of mind for a while, I’ve decided to step out of the self-pity zone and finally act. So, I began by cleaning up my place, getting rid of many things I no longer needed. I suddenly felt a breath of fresh air touching my mind and soul. I felt calmer and more at peace.

We all need clarity of mind to be able to notice what really matters in life. This allows us to breathe easily too and finally realise what to keep and what to discard. Only then, we are able to get a direction where our life is currently heading, and whether we may need a course correction or a complete redirection.

Is your mind cluttered?

If you feel like your mind is cluttered, definitely give a little spring cleaning a go. This can mean many things to many people, but whatever that means to you, it will do a world of good.

An actual cleaning can be the first step

Wash your windows, clean your bathroom, tidy up your desk, re-organise your wardrobe, vacuum your apartment, throw out the rubbish and the list can go on. Do it today and notice how you felt before and after.

Donate clothes and things you no longer need to charity

We all have clothes, books, artefacts and so many things we no longer need. Consider making donation to a charity. So, if they are in good condition, give them away instead of throwing them away. You will not only do a good deed and brighten up someone else’s day, but at the same time, you will make space for something new to come into your life.

A few minutes of stillness and deep breathing a day can change your perspective on life

Pause several times a day, close your eyes and take a nice, long, deep breath. Tune into the moment you are in and make an intention that every time you breathe out, you are going to let go any unwanted energies, thoughts and feelings that are no longer serving you. This can only take a couple of minutes of your day, but trust me, it will bring more peace and clarity into your life.

Write your thoughts down

Get your notebook/journal and write your thoughts down. Express your feelings onto the pages and be very honest with yourself. Write down everything that has been bothering you and you don’t feel like sharing with anyone. We all have our little secrets and things that we worry about nobody knows about or would understand. Every time I write things down, and get my thoughts out of my head on a piece of paper, I feel so much lighter and so much peace and clarity showers my mind and soul.

So, I hope this helps and if you have any questions or comments, please share them in the comment section below.


Making mistakes & failing is teaching you a lot

People are often hard on themselves for making mistakes. They talk about them over and over again, wasting their precious energy which they could invest towards something more meaningful. But what they don’t realise, it is actually their mistakes that can help them level up this game called life. If it wasn’t for mistakes, you could stay at the same place your whole life.

I’m looking at mistakes from a different perspective now. They are helping me move forward and learn something new every single day. In fact, I am grateful for them.

Today, I want to encourage you to start looking at your mistakes and the so-called failures differently. I want you to start celebrating them because they are teaching you so much about yourself and are co-currently helping you bring some wonderful opportunities to your life.

Mistakes are your greatest teachers

Don’t be afraid of failing. Instead, look at failing from a different angle. Be grateful that you are learning something new and once you learn it you don’t have to, hopefully, repeat the same lesson again. Start looking at your mistakes as teachers, which are guiding you to the right path.

Keep moving forward

I failed so many times in life and I’m still going to. But at the same time, I’m grateful for all of those experiences. I wouldn’t change them. They’re always teaching me so much about myself and my life. They’re teaching me what is important and what isn’t. Learn from your mistakes and failures and always keep moving forward.

Relax more into life

You are always learning and you are always growing and you are going to be, for the rest of your life. Embrace this knowledge and let go of everything that holds you back. Stop being hard on yourself, it’s a waste of your energy. And I don’t mean to stop trying to do your best or stop working on yourself. What I mean is, stop punishing yourself for every single mistake you make. You’ve learned something from it and now it’s time to move on and focus on your present and the future. You are a work in progress and you are always going to be. Nobody has accomplished it all, nobody has done it all, nobody knows it all. So relax more into life and enjoy it. After all, it’s such an exciting and adventurous journey.


It’s okay, if you’ve outgrown some friends

Do you feel that you have nothing in common with some of your friends anymore? You used to spend so much time together and now you don’t even feel like picking up the phone when they call. Maybe you used to be inseparable, but now you have nothing to talk about. You feel that you don’t want to be investing your time into this friendship anymore. You make excuses that you are too busy to go out, even to respond to a text or a phone call. All that you have in common now is the past.

I want to put your mind at ease because it’s perfectly okay to feel like this. It is perfectly okay to outgrown your friends, even to part ways for good. You are always growing, expanding, learning, unlearning and this creates change. Your friend is changing too and what you might have had in common in the past has faded away. Your friendship may never be the same. You are both completely different and this is fine too.

I can fully relate to the above because I’ve been there and I am also going through something similar as I write these lines. There are still certain people in my life I know aren’t on ‘my frequency’ anymore and I find difficult to let go of. I care about them, I care about their feelings, but something is telling me that they are not my kind of people anymore. The feelings I’m having are powerful signals coming from my soul that something needs to change.

The friendship has served its purpose

Everyone comes to our life for a reason. Some come to teach you some powerful lessons, others come to teach you difficult lessons. Some teach you about truth, others about love, dreams and about what really matters. And if someone just came into your life as a proof that you don’t want to be hanging around them anymore? Then, learn from that lesson, let them go and make space for more meaningful relationships.

Embrace change

I believe that change is good. Change can clear the path and bring something fresh and new to you. This applies to your friendships too. When you don’t want to be connecting with someone anymore, that’s a sign. A powerful sign from your soul. Embrace it and be brave to do what’s right for you.

Celebrate relationships that make you feel good

And of course, celebrate all the amazing people in your life now. Express your gratitude to them. Tell these special people that you love them and appreciate them and that you are very thankful to have them in your life.

A thought to keep

It isn’t wise to continue friendships, just because you’ve known these people for life. If the friendship doesn’t feel right anymore, let it go. If you’ve been feeling emotionally drained for years while being surrounded by these people, you need to honestly reevaluate whether you want to still include them in your circles. This isn’t selfish, but it’s an act of self-love.

Most importantly, focus on what really matters to you. When you begin to fill yourself up, you’ll start feeling good about yourself and then you will start attracting people that will mirror your beautiful state. There are the people who are meant to be sharing this incredible life’s journey with you.


It’s time to focus on what truly matters

A couple of weeks ago I turned 36. Where did the years ago?’….I thought. It made me realise how much I don’t want to be procrastinating on things that are important to me anymore. No more holding back, no more excuses, no more worrying what others think of me or whether they will accept me or reject me for what I do. I’m ready to step into my power fully, and stop playing small anymore.

I believe I came to this world to share my gifts, and it makes me incredibly happy when I can inspire someone by doing so. In fact, I believe it’s my responsibility. I have been scared for way too long. I have been worried for way too long. I have been pretending that I’m someone else for ages. I can’t hold back anymore.

I believe, all of us possess so many amazing gifts and we should finally face the fear and share them with the world. It doesn’t matter on how small or big scale. This is the reason for this topic today. I hope the suggestions below can help you step into your own power, so you can focus on things that truly matter to you.

A) Be ready to shine

Let go of fear. Let go of worry what others think of you. Be ready to step out of the comfort zone and step into your power completely. You are amazing and ready to experience some fantastic things in this world.

B) No playing small anymore

Stop doing what you don’t want to do. Stop saying yes, when you mean no. Focus fully on what matters to you and don’t play small anymore. You deserve the best and nobody can tell you or dictate what is or what isn’t possible for you. You make the path, you create the rules for your own life. You create your reality.

C) You are meant for greatness

You came here to do great things. You are not here to waste time on insignificant matters. Start making the most of this interesting experience here on Earth. You are meant for greatness, so get ready to be the person you are meant to be.

“Focus on what you love and start building the life that you truly deserve. No playing small anymore.”

Are you letting the wrong people take up space in your mind?

A couple of weeks ago, I was thinking how to inspire my beautiful community on social media. A lovely idea came to my mind within a few minutes. I immediately created a beautiful collage and was ready to share it on social media. Then, suddenly, a particular person came to my mind, which I believed ‘would raise their eyebrows’ at my post and would think: There we go again. Another one of Jana’s inspiring, self-help stuff.”

Within minutes, I began doubting myself and questioning the inspiring message I was so excited about just a minute ago. I decided not to post it. An hour went by and I thought: Isn’t that interesting? Why do we care so much about other’s opinions in a way we begin to doubt our creativity, ourselves?

In the end, I posted my inspiring message anyway and let the self-doubt fade away. And I also learned a lesson from this. It made me realise how much power I’m still wasting, by worrying what other people think of me, people who don’t really know me, my story and how hard I worked and I’m still working and how tired I am of seeking their approval.

So why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we strive to be so likeable and giving these people who don’t really matter so much of our precious energy? It’s because we have been programmed this way. There are rules we need to follow, certain standards to live by, success to strive for. And now, with the internet and especially social media, we feel even more pressure because we compare ourselves to others and what we believe their lives look like. Personally, I love social media, but unfortunately, the comparison that comes with it is doing more harm than good.

Do what feels right for you

Do what pleases you and forget about the rest. Easier said, then done, hmmmm? I know. But listen: Do you want to be always someone’s prisoner, always worry or obsess what they think? Of course not. Focus on you and do what makes you feel good and fulfils you. Leave their opinions and criticism to themselves.

And the truth is: they don’t really think about you, but are busy living their own lives

The amount of time and space we give others in our minds is absolutely crazy and completely unnecessary. Do yourself a favour and stop it at once. Everyone is living their own life, focusing, mainly, on themselves and their own things. They have their own worries, struggles and fears and are not really thinking about you and what you are up to. They are focused on their own lives.

Become more present

Being fully present prevents your mind from wandering to places that disempower you. Be aware of this and every time your thoughts start flying to places you don’t want to go, stop and ask yourself: Where am I? And of course, you know the answer, you are right here, right now at this moment. And this is the only place where the true life exists.


If I could talk to my younger self, these are the 7 things I would tell her…

When I was younger, I lived in so much worry and fear. I worried about everything. What other people thought of me, whether I said the right thing or whether I presented myself the right way. Other people’s opinions were so important to me that they were controlling my life in a great way.

When we are very young we have a completely different outlook on life. This outlook can be somehow overwhelming. This was certainly the case for me. But, if I ever had the opportunity to talk to my younger self, there are so many things I would tell her. I would give her so much love, support and reassurance that there is nothing to worry about, only things to experience and lessons to learn from.

If you could talk to your younger self, what would you tell him or her? What words would you use to encourage them and make them feel better when they feel scared? What would you say to them to calm them down? Please share your thoughts in the comments below. You never know who may read them and they can even save someone’s life.

I believe this is a very important topic to talk about. The younger generation can sometimes feel so overwhelmed about life in general, and can definitely benefit and learn from our mistakes, that’s why is important to talk about them. Listed below are a few of the things I would definitely say to that scared young girl I used to be if I had the opportunity.

1) Don’t worry what other people think of you

Others are so busy thinking about themselves and not about you. When we are younger, we think the opposite. Remember, the most important thing is what you think about you.

2) Be yourself

You are unique. There has never been anybody like you and there is never going to be. Embrace all that is you and celebrate your beautiful individuality.

3) Your past mistakes are powerful lessons

When I used to make mistakes, I would beat myself up for them for ages. Look at your mistakes as powerful lessons which needed to be learnt to help you become the person you want to become.

4) Put yourself first, always

Always follow your dreams. Don’t postpone, don’t procrastinate, don’t get influenced by other’s opinions. When I was younger, I was always searching for romantic love. When I was in a relationship, that other person would become my priority. I would put all my dreams and needs aside, and would only focus on the person I was ‘so in love with’. There was a huge price to pay for that. I was never happy, because I stopped focusing on me and my dreams. Later, I realised, I am the most important person in my own life and I will always be. I began putting myself first. This wasn’t selfish, but an act of self-love and respect towards myself. Put yourself first, always.

5) Listen to your intuition

When I was a child, my intuition was very strong and I fully trusted it. As I got older I stopped listening to it and began to doubt it. Luckily, I realised how important and valuable my intuition is. Always listen to your inner wisdom, it will never fail you.

6) Don’t take life so seriously

When we are young, we take everything so seriously, including the things that don’t really matter. Life doesn’t have to be that serious. The same way seasons of the year change, the seasons of life change too. Go through them gracefully. When something doesn’t work out the way you planned it, trust and know that there is something way better on its way to you.

7) You are good enough, just as you are

You are good enough and you have nothing to prove to anybody. You don’t need to compare yourself to others, dress like others, act like others to be accepted by this society. You are good enough, just as you are. Work on yourself, keep improving, educate yourself, but at the same time know that you are good enough and wonderful as you are.


What has living with anxiety taught me & could help you too

What many of you don’t know about me, is that I used to suffer from severe anxiety. My anxiety was so bad that it was controlling my life in a great way. It was happening during my early to almost late twenties, where my friend’s lives were mostly filled with adventures, parties, holidays and the joys of being carefree young adults. I couldn’t join them. My daily life was filled with dark thoughts, panic attacks, thinking about death and being so frightened, whether and how I would survive another day. Everything was a challenge, even the smallest of tasks. Queuing in a supermarket, going to a library, practically being at any public place was putting me into the states of panic and discomfort. My life was filled with severe stress, depression and perceiving the world with a constant foggy sensation on my mind. Was that a living? Not really. But, now I look at it differently. I look at this experience from a higher perspective. Living with anxiety for more than a while taught me so much about myself, my life and most importantly, because of it, I found my life’s purpose, which is being of service to others.

***Before you read further***

Please note, that this isn’t a medical advice. Always seek a health care professional, who will be happy to assist you with any concerns. However, I always like to share what I have learned from my difficult experiences, and how I shifted my life from darkness to light, with a belief that reading about them will help someone.

So, here is what I’ve learned:

1) Acceptance

When we are trying to push something away and don’t want it in our lives, a great amount of resistance can be felt. It feels overwhelming and can take over our lives, so we are unable to see any kind of light. This is how I dealt with my anxiety. I was resisting it. I didn’t want to be feeling anxious. I was fighting my unpleasant emotions every minute of every day. But one day, after about 4 years of daily struggle to be exact, I experienced a beautiful shift which changed my life forever. I came to a realisation to accept my feelings. It felt like finally seeing a beautiful sunrise after a long, dark winter. Ever since I accepted my feelings my life began to shift. Of course, on a very small scale, but there was an improvement. I realised it was okay to feel how I was feeling at that particular moment in time. I decided to stop obsessing about my physical symptoms, instead, I’ve decided to accept them as part of me. As they were part of me, they didn’t need my judgement, rather my nourishment and my compassion. I began feeling liberated.

2) To find something beautiful in every day

I began noticing the small things in life, the things that we often take for granted. I started being grateful for all the wonderful blessings that surrounded me and decided to find something beautiful in every day. Then, something magical happened. I would be very grateful when something made me happy, even if it was just for 5 minutes. Slowly, minutes turn into hours and hours into days. I remember so clearly when I could say, today was a good day. I will treasure that moment forever and still remember it very clearly.

3) To breathe properly

My breathing used to be shallow, short, panicky and it felt like a difficult task. Living with anxiety taught me to slow down, tune inward and learn how to breathe properly. It taught me to pause several times a day, notice my breathing and how it affected my posture, my energy levels and my overall wellbeing. Daily moments of stillness and meditation also deepened the connection to my breath.

4) To love myself

I learnt to love myself fully. I learnt to love and appreciate myself for who I am. I stopped pretending and trying to accepted by others, instead I fully accepted myself and began to finally love myself. I realised, I am the most important person in my own life, who deserves to be looked after and given a priority too. I learnt that this is not selfish, but it’s an act of self-love and respect I was craving for many years. Now, I love myself fully, even the ‘flaws’ I used to dislike. They are part of me and they make me who I am. I feel free and so much happier.

‘There is no shame in living with anxiety, in fact, let’s talk more about it. Let’s let the other struggling souls out there know that they are not alone, and there is always hope to get through this.’
