If you’ve ever tried to change something you don’t like about yourself you’ll know how difficult it can be, so it’s virtually impossible to change things we don’t like in others. Paddle your own canoe, learn to focus on what brings you happiness, and you’ll find the things you wanted to change in others starts to matter a whole lot less.

Our possibilities are endless, but it can be easy to feel that there’s too much in our way sometimes. That ‘one decision’ mightn’t be as big as moving country or changing jobs, it might be as simple yet powerful as believing we can do the things we tell ourselves we can’t.

We’re all messy and complicated, and so many of us feel afraid, but we are so scared of being seen that way that we forget everybody’s going through the very same thing. Nobody’s perfect - perfect doesn’t exist - be brave enough to be your messy, complicated, wonderful self!

Healing starts and ends with self-compassion - without it we cannot heal. If we don’t acknowledge the pain and struggle of what we’ve been through, and have appreciation of how we adapted to cope, we cannot begin to feel the freedom of healing from our past. Speak to yourself as you would speak to a loved one.

Having a comfort zone isn’t a bad thing, but always staying in it stops us from experiencing how much life has to offer us and the many wonderful things we’re capable of. Be brave and take a chance on you!

I love this quote, it sums up so many of life’s struggles so simply. Trying to be different, trying to fit in, trying to pretend we don’t care... so much effort!! When all along we were perfect just exactly as we were. ❤️

We all have things we’re scared to admit or say out loud, as if speaking it will make it more real and powerful somehow. It’s actually the opposite - holding it in and being afraid can make it feel like it has more hold over us. We’re all human, and we’re all struggling through the same emotions, just dressed up in different circumstances.

How many of us have asked the question “Why does this always keep happening to me?”? I know I have. The situations are familiar because the patterns that bring us there are the same. We can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Recognising what makes us behave how we do is the first step to new patterns.

Things we ignore about ourselves and our past don’t go away. They may change shape or hide behind other issues, but we’re never truly free from them while we deny them. Facing those things, processing them in a supportive space and accepting them as part of our past is the only way to take away their power.

I’m finding that a lot of people are confused by how they’re reacting in their relationships and lives at the moment. We’re all living through something we’ve never experienced before that’s fundamentally changing how many of us live our daily lives. It’s normal to feel more anxious, stressed, angry... so many feelings that are uncomfortable. We’re not machines, and these times are difficult. Give yourself a break.

The more I think about this quote the more I love it. We ‘learn’ to worry about so many things as we develop, when really all that matters is that we, and the people we care about, are healthy and happy, and that our basic needs are met. Do something today that makes your tail wag!
