@lauramatsue Yes cared for my mum for the past year before she passed. It stripped me bare and left me feeling very raw but like the realest version of myself that has ever existed :)
@lauramatsue My mum passed last year, the night after she died I was distraught & asked her a question before I went to sleep. In the morning I woke up with a song in my head and the lyrics answering exactly the question I had. It doesn't really stop grief but reminds me she lives in spirit.
@maebichka Hahah that is one of my pet peeves about yoga teachers and then their flowery instruction that makes no sense. Thatโs why I created No BullShit Yoga a place free of dogma and spiritual woo!
MINDSET
Can I show up for myself
When things are not going my way?
When life moves slower than I'd like,
Asking who I am without the labels?
Can I let go and surrender?
Can I affirm my own worth
Without the external validation
Of material success?
Can I sit in discomfort
As I compare myself to others
And remind myself my path is my own?
Comparison is just another way
To shame myself.
Can I swim in this paradoxical sea
Of having 100% trust and faith
In my path, my knowledge, my intention,
Yet feel as if I am failing?
Wonder if I am stupid, doubting
My ability to pull it all together.
Can I sit in this emotional soup
And bathe myself in love,
Holding and accepting all these aspects
Without making any of it
Bad or wrong?
I know I am equipped to do this,
And now I give myself grace
To explore it all.
@Lovandfear A strong gripping feeling around the heart. A knot that aches in the stomach. A heaviness in the body that permeates every moment. A numbness of the body & mind unable to experience joy.
@james_jimm96174@DefiantLs I guess you have a selective memory then because it has been like this for a long time, especially Raval. Source: I have lived here for 2 decades.
@MeierLisel21451@DefiantLs I believe that Barcelona was much more dangerous in the 80s than now. That is a really horrific story though, glad your aunt survived!
@james_jimm96174@DefiantLs It has actually always been an immigrant neighbourhood, the reason so many people are hanging out there is because it is a well known skaters hang out. It's still historic and the cultural centre is still there and thriving.
