For me, THIS is spirituality. "By recognising ourselves as spiritual beings first, we live with deeper purpose, transcending the purely physical aspects of existence" 💖

“You don’t have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.” – C. S. Lewis
Lewis flips perspective on identity. The body is temporary, but the soul is essence and eternal self. By recognizing ourselves as spiritual beings first, we live with deeper purpose, transcending the purely physical aspects of existence.

Don't give up. Feel it. Then take a deep breath and go out into nature. Find something beautiful to make you smile. And carry on 💖

The healing is in the slowness 💖

“Peace must begin with ourselves: with the practice of sitting quietly, walking mindfully, taking care of our body, releasing the tension in our body and in our feelings.
That is why the practice of being peace is at the foundation of the practice of doing peace.
Being peace comes first.
Doing peace is something that comes from that foundation”.

"Each moment is a chance for us to make peace with the world, to make peace possible for the world, to make happiness possible for the world."

~Thich Nhat Hanh~

Sometimes nothing is everything 💖

Anything that annoys you is teaching you patience.
Anyone who abandons you is teaching you how to stand up on your own two feet.
Anything that angers you is teaching you forgiveness and compassion.
Anything you fear is teaching you courage to overcome your fear.
Anything you can’t control is teaching you how to let go.

Inner work = inner peace. You do the inner work to find your inner peace. This makes you feel safe. Only then can do the same for others 💖

I love this. Shared by my mum. An excellent reminder 💖🙏💖

One of the greatest lessons you can ever learn is this:

🟡 Don’t promise when you’re happy.
In moments of excitement, joy, or euphoria, we tend to overcommit — saying “yes” to things our future self may not be ready for.
Happiness can blur boundaries.
So before making big promises, let the emotion settle. Make commitments from clarity, not from a high.

🔴 Don’t reply when you’re angry.
Anger is a fire — and words spoken in that fire can burn bridges you may later wish to walk across.
Your silence in anger is a sign of wisdom, not weakness.
Pause. Breathe. Step away if needed. Respond when you can do so with calm, not heat.

🔵 Don’t decide when you’re sad.
Sadness can make everything look grey, hopeless, or meaningless.
It distorts perspective.
Decisions made in that fog often reflect pain, not truth. Wait for the emotion to pass — the sun will rise again, and so will your clarity.

🧠 Emotions are temporary, but decisions can be permanent.
The ability to pause before you react is a mark of emotional intelligence, inner strength, and maturity.

So the next time you feel high, hot, or hollow —
Don’t act. Just observe. Let it pass.
The right time will come. And when it does, you’ll respond — not react.
