3 aspects of True Self:
💮Self-alienation: Knowledge of our beliefs, emotions, and purpose.
💮Authentic living: The degree to which we live according to our values.
💮Accepting external influences: Being influenced by the beliefs and desires of others.
Without purpose, life becomes a drift, easily swayed by whatever comes along.
Years pass, and we react without consciousness, showing passivity to ourselves and the world.
To deserve a wonderful life, find direction towards what's wonderful for you.
#PurposefulLiving
It's not about total independence or constant closeness.
The key lies in the balance—you feel steady within yourself, neither avoiding nor smothering.
The work is in achieving a state where both being with someone and being with yourself bring joy and a relaxed nervous system.
Society praises "independence" — heroes who handle everything on their own.
This "rugged individualism" is celebrated.
While finding our own way is crucial for maturity and functionality as adults, it's important to recognise the societal emphasis on self-reliance.
If you're constantly checking on others and feeling the need to worry, I recognise the exhaustion you must be experiencing. Consider redirecting some of that energy towards yourself.
How are you? What's happening in your life?
Focus on yourself, friend— that energy is for you.
You can pick up vibes, expend effort trying to interpret moods, and focus on how others are doing.
You are an empath. And that is a wounded child who had to be hyper-vigilant about their environment and the people within it, because it was not safe.
For some, the holidays is a challenging endurance test, lacking love and joy.
This message is for those who struggle during this time.
It's okay if it's not great; there's nothing wrong with not loving or conforming to the holiday expectations.
In this instant gratification world, we can distract ourselves from how we feel.
This is self-abandonment.
Learning to notice, tune into, pay attention to, attend to, care about, and comfort that feeling is the path to reclamation of ourselves.
Avoiding hurt by letting no one in is a difficult path to take.
The journey to self is not through trying to figure out who you can trust.
It’s reconnecting with your own sense of self.
Differentiation is when we act as independent individuals with our own thoughts and feelings, unshaped by the need to please others.
Their reactions are not our concern; we forge our own path, allowing ourselves to feel what we want, even if it upsets those around us.
Craft these holidays, and your life, for your emotional health.
It’s more than okay to say ‘no’ to much of it and simply be with yourself, or with someone who is still with you, without having to explain yourself.
Not as a life you need to get away from to feel okay.
We are the universe in motion, not striving to attain desires from it.
The idea of the Law of Attraction suggests separation from Source, implying a need for something else.
However, we are the present moment, unfolding as intended—there is no other way it can be.
We come from love.
The love that is not theirs to give or withhold.
The love that is our decision to be here.
We chose ourselves long before we gave anyone else the power to choose us.
Choose you.
Self-abandonment takes various forms, such as clinging to permanence.
The pain arises from holding onto rigid expectations of how things "should" be.
Letting go is challenging, as we attach meaning to the idealized version of what "things" are supposed to be.
Mindlessly living in constant comparison breeds discontent.
Embrace the present moment as it is, without expectations or desires for change.
With acceptance, joy grows, and the urge to alter diminishes over time.
Learning to sit with what hurts within us is a superpower we can cultivate for ourselves.
Welcome the “negative self-talk” as a message from your Little Me, letting you know they need your attention, love, compassion, acceptance, and tenderness.
We don’t “positive think” our way to anything we want. We can’t do nothing, talk to no one, and expect the universe to drop our dreams on our laps.
We’re not here to “get” what we say we want.
The Law of Attraction is bringing us our lessons. Not our petty desires.
Our need to be right creates an atmosphere of right/wrong and it’s catching.
Instead, just observe the moment.
The people fighting to be right. The people trying to make others wrong.
See it unfold without your ‘fixing’ anything.
