You’re the opposite of broken.
You’re a warrior
You’re whole.
You keep going even when s**t is hard…and it can be hard.
You love your people fiercely.
You show up for every one of them.
You carry them.
You carry it all.
But who carries you?
You feel weak if you lean on people.
You feel guilty asking for help.
You feel shame admitting that some days you want to drop everything and hide in your room.
But why?
Because we saw our mothers and grandmothers live this way.
We learned at a young age that women have a role to play.
We were shown that we must be the warrior, the nurturer, the goddess who does it all and holds it all together.
Because society taught us that taking a break means abandoning,
That time for yourself is selfish,
That putting your happiness above your family is wrong.
But who are they to tell you what’s right and wrong?
“They” don’t live in your house.
“They” don’t live your life.
“They” don’t know what you’ve been through to get here.
“They” will always have something to say- to judge-to show you where you’re doing it wrong.
“They” live in your head.
I say, “F**k them!”
I learned a long time ago, that your mind will take in what it sees around it, and try to make sense of it all, justify to fit in, morph to be accepted.
But when we make decisions from this place, this mind, this ego…we never see ourselves as good enough. We see healing as something we need to fix within us so we avoid it.
And our heart, the part of us that used to lead us as children, is taught to become quiet, to take a back seat, to only speak when spoken to.
But this is the part that should lead- because this is the extension to God, to Source, to the universe. This is the part that knows, that doesn’t need to prove. That doesn’t need to morph, that just needs to feel.
This is the part that when you allow it, when you shave the edges, the armour that protects you…becomes softer, sweeter, more anchored because she knows she is enough. She knows she doesn’t need fixing- she just needs to remember what it’s like to feel like herself again.
This is the Art of Self Healing.
