A beautiful synopsis of growth 💓🙌🏽💓

As I started to love myself
I learned to listen to my emotions
And sit with them
Allowing them to serve as my guides
And direct me toward what was in alignment with me
And away from what was not.
Today, I call this authenticity.

As I started to value myself
I learned to value my time and energy
And farewell the people, situations and experiences from my life that failed to respect them.
Today, I call this setting boundaries.

As I started to respect myself
I learned to take action that was in alignment with my highest vision for myself and my life that was meaningful and purpose-driven.
Today, I call this focus.

As I started to listen to myself
I learned to quieten the sea of surrounding voices proclaiming to know what was best for me
And listen to the voice within me.
Today, I call this intuition.

As I started to take care of myself
I learned to notice all of the subtle ways I failed to do so in the past and sabotaged myself and my health, wellbeing and progress
In order that I may correct them.
Today, I call this self-awareness.

As I started to understand myself
I learned to make peace with my past and my flaws and insecurities
Being aware of them, but not over-identifying with them
Understanding that they make up only a small aspect of my entire being.
Today, I call this self-acceptance.

As I started to appreciate myself
I learned to appreciate my gifts, strengths and talents
And find ways to creatively share them.
Today, I call this self-expression.

As I started to believe in myself
I learned to believe in my potential
And in the beauty of my hopes and dreams.
Today, I call this self-confidence.

As I started to trust in myself
I learned to trust that everything in my life was unfolding as it should
And learned to redirect my focus toward that which was within my control
And away from that which was not.
Today, I call this faith.

And as I started to forgive myself
I learned to release all of the pain, shame, guilt, anger and sadness I had been previously carrying
And set myself free.
Today, I call this healing.

GOD, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT ❤️
As someone who writes often, I naturally appreciate epic writing when I see it. This morning, I came across this written piece of art and it moved me deeply, so I had to share it with all of you! Not only are these words true theatre, they also act as sound advice ❤️

my brain and
heart divorced

a decade ago

over who was
to blame about
how big of a mess
I have become

eventually,
they couldn't be
in the same room
with each other

now my head and heart
share custody of me

I stay with my brain
during the week

and my heart
gets me on weekends

they never speak to one another

- instead, they give me
the same note to pass
to each other every week

and their notes they
send to one another always
says the same thing:

"This is all your fault"

on Sundays
my heart complains
about how my
head has let me down
in the past

and on Wednesday
my head lists all
of the times my
heart has screwed
things up for me
in the future

they blame each
other for the
state of my life

there's been a lot
of yelling - and crying

so,

lately, I've been
spending a lot of
time with my gut

who serves as my
unofficial therapist

most nights, I sneak out of the
window in my ribcage

and slide down my spine
and collapse on my
gut's plush leather chair
that's always open for me

~ and I just sit sit sit sit
until the sun comes up

last evening,
my gut asked me
if I was having a hard
time being caught
between my heart
and my head

I nodded

I said I didn't know
if I could live with
either of them anymore

"my heart is always sad about
something that happened yesterday
while my head is always worried
about something that may happen tomorrow,"
I lamented

my gut squeezed my hand

"I just can't live with
my mistakes of the past
or my anxiety about the future,"
I sighed

my gut smiled and said:

"in that case,
you should
go stay with your
lungs for a while,"

I was confused
- the look on my face gave it away

"if you are exhausted about
your heart's obsession with
the fixed past and your mind's focus
on the uncertain future

your lungs are the perfect place for you

there is no yesterday in your lungs
there is no tomorrow there either

there is only now
there is only inhale
there is only exhale
there is only this moment

there is only breath

and in that breath
you can rest while your
heart and head work
their relationship out."

this morning,
while my brain
was busy reading
tea leaves

and while my
heart was staring
at old photographs

I packed a little
bag and walked
to the door of
my lungs

before I could even knock
she opened the door
with a smile and as
a gust of air embraced me
she said

"what took you so long?"

Wise words a friend & darling soul wrote
💖🙌🏽💖
Resonates well ⭐️💗⭐️

~ 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 ~ ⁣

Offence isn’t given it’s taken. Taken by us and our hurt/trauma/past. ⁣“I’m offended by that” - how many times have you said this or heard it (don’t worry me included too). People often do and say things that we aren’t comfortable with. This doesn’t mean that it won’t hurt or that it could have been said in a more mindful and loving way. In learning to tune into ourselves and focus on what we can do to stay in our lane we have the power to make changes. The way we respond to something is really up to us. When we take offence in something it creates “a fence” between us and others, us and ourselves, us and our highest potential, us and God (universe, love, divinity whatever you resonate with). What does a fence do? It usually creates a barrier. What does a barrier do? It usually prevents us from going somewhere or doing something. What happens when we can’t go somewhere or do something? We can get frustrated and it can create more disharmony. What happens when we have disharmony? We lose ourselves etc etc etc

What can we do? Things that have helped me...
~ Build a foundation of self awareness.
~ Breathe before you speak
~ Learn to treat yourself in more kind & loving ways as this spreads to others
~ Is this fight worth fighting?
~ How can I respond in a way that someone will receive what I am saying?

Ultimately remember that everyone is doing their best and everyone is on their own journey. No one is perfect and diversity is beautiful when we can appreciate it 💕

Shine your authentic beautiful self darlings ⭐️💖⭐️

Success in any area of your life is not found in producing what you think you must produce on your journey, it’s found in the love, the joy, the happiness, and the sense of True Self that you experience—and that others experience in their life because of you—along the way. That alone can produce the rest of what you think you are “supposed to” produce.
