Put more respect on the in-between space of where you are now and where you desire to be. This ‘in-between’ space is where the necessary transformation and magic happen. This space is known as the liminal space and it’s a big deal. Don’t allow it to discourage you. Break through.
Instead of getting upset at who is not matching your energy, go towards someone who is offering what you need.
Stop asking people to give you things that they were never offering in the first place.
forgive your mother for not finding the language to speak up for what she believes in, forgive your father for not being tender enough to comprehend her pain. forgive them both, but in the same breath, thank them for showing you what kind of connections you deserve in the future.
"Never wish them pain. That's not who you are. If they caused you pain, they must have pain inside. Wish them healing. That's what they need." - @NajwaZebian
If you do not set consistent times in your life for personal rejuvenation then you cannot expect to have mental and physical resilience during difficult moments
A good rule in tough emotional times is to not make the situation worse. With shaky emotions we rush to send tough emails, have heavy talks, call each other out. Instead take a deep breath, walk, meditate a bit - address your inner environment before turning toward the external.
Happy Earth Day! You are not separate from the ground you walk on. Your body is composed of the same materials as the ground beneath you. Honor & respect it the way you honor & respect yourself.
Notes to self for the new week:
- Breathe deeply (as often as you can)
- Slow down (as much as you can)
- Accept and let go (of whatever you can)
- Be kind (to everyone you can ... including yourself)
- Forgive yourself when you forget any of the above
- Begin again ...
There are levels to this and there will always be!
We rarely move from angst and frustration to feeling complete bliss overnight.
It’s impractical and there’s no reward in skipping the wisdom that comes on each level.
Enjoy the sadness that comes with a breakup as much as you can, because it is once you feel nothing for them that things are truly over.
You don’t have to rush or
repress the process.
The pain you’re feeling is also part of the love you had for them.
