Allow yourself to surrender.
Allow yourself to submerge in your truth.
Allow yourself to meet the evolved version of who you’ve been working towards, and trust that the plans they present to you will work.
We’ve been led to believe that starting over is synonymous with failure. Many of us carry shame so heavy, we’d rather stay in positions we’ve outgrown than embrace the vulnerability of being seen rebuilding something new.
That’s why you can’t sleep. That���s why every time you rest, your mind loops back to the same scenario, a loop of thoughts fixated on your responsibilities.
But regardless of how frightening it feels, you’re capable of steering this ship in a new direction.
All you have to do is remember.
Last year opened my eyes in ways I can’t unsee. I witnessed sides of people I had never experienced before, but moments like these serve as the best reality checks. They show you exactly where you stand in other people’s lives. And for that, we still Give Thanks.
Writing again, after taking a long hiatus is really like learning how to ride a bike again. 2000 words took 10 hours. Hopefully tomorrow it only takes 9.
Falling back in love with your purpose, after going through a season of grief, can feel so positively overwhelming. When your thoughts realign with your dreams/visions that used to fuel you, you get overstimulated with excitement and nothing else seems to matter anymore, again.
I’ve been grieving and healing for 3 years now. My mum would be super proud of how I’m surviving, thriving, redefining and finding new things to love about life. There’s nothing more painful than losing your mother but if I allow myself to die, then my mother dies twice.
Some remain stagnant due to their inability to create solutions, and instead, wrap their entire lifestyles around what was only intended to be a passing lesson. Dwelling is a waste of time and energy. How you respond determines how long that season of struggle or sadness lingers.
I prefer connecting with people who pour into others, so I can reciprocate freely. I love indulging in valuable exchanges. The other day, I left my friends house mind blown, watching a recommended documentary to relearn everything I thought I knew about Money. I needed that.
My friendships consist of those who are constantly working on betterment, healthy competition based on personal improvement. It doesn’t even have to be productivity based, a friend who has a strong spiritual practice is an honour to be around.
A friend taught me the importance of anointing my forehead with Oil every morning, why I should leave a nutritious plate of food at my Mothers Altar every time I eat, the benefits of fasting on my born day and why focusing on my breathing every morning helps reinforce gratitude.
