Don't ask the Universe for more strength. Only thank the Universe for the strength you’ve had. You keep asking for strength, you’ll keep getting battles. Shift your focus towards gratitude, and you will attract more positive experiences and joy.
When you forgive someone for something they did to you. A piece of you heals. A piece of you returns back to you. Old energy is released from your vibration. That is how you take back your power, and your peace. Letting things go, is far more powerful than holding onto poison.
Having your trauma constantly invalidated and dismissed can create wounds that require just as much healing as the traumatic event itself. The truth is, if most people really knew your story and all the things you've been through, they'd probably wonder why you're still smiling.
