This morning’s musings on the habit of measuring ourselves.

Do you notice yourself measuring your progress weighing your worth against how and where you think you should be?

I have to remind myself often that my mind and how it experiences each moment is not a reliable measurement of where I am, who I am, or who I’m becoming.

Some days carry a heavier load, feel a little flatter or messier than yesterday. The next day I can be plugged in, soft, grounded. How I feel on any given day is not a measure of my progress, feelings shift.

The truth is, none of these days define me or my evolution, because progress has nothing to do with how I felt today. Life will always show me where I am not yet free, where there is work to be done and the messier days is when the real learning happens.

Whenever I feel that pull of becoming bigger, better, more, I soften into it and allow compassion to flow into the places that are judging and comparing.

Growth opens in the space of acceptance so be more gentle, patient and kind with yourself, that’s what shapes the path of your evolution

We often measure our life and our worth by how much we give and forget that how we receive matters just as much. Ahimsa, the first of Patañjali’s eight limbs of yoga, invites us to explore the concept of non-harm: the way of living rooted in gentleness toward ourselves.

Himsa is the opposite, it harms, which begins the moment we forget to meet ourselves with softness. It is when we move away from love for ourselves and toward harshness, judgment, over-efforting and over-pleasing. The mirror of Ahimsa helps us recognize when we move into these subtle forms of self-harm.

Energetically, when there is self-criticism, comparison, perfectionism our life force energy contracts. Those thoughts drain us rather than sustain us. It is an abandonment of our own needs in the name of being “good,” “right,” “accepted,” “validated” or “feeling loved.”

Through Ahimsa, we remember how to meet ourselves with tenderness, softening the edge of self-criticism into understanding and redirecting it in to self love. We move from pushing into receiving, from over efforting to ease.

Where do you meet yourself with harshness instead of love? Place attention on being gentle and self-compassionate and let that be your practice. What within you is asking to soften? What is asking to be forgiven, so you can meet yourself with more love today?

Ahimsa lives in the way you breathe, it lives in the way you speak to yourself but most importantly in the way you let life love you back .

Today I honour two fathers in my life.

To my husband I thank you for making our children feel supported, feel heard and feel loved. For teaching them how to care, to be kind, to laugh, have fun and most importantly how to play. What a gift.

To my dad I thank you for your strength, steadiness and your grounding. You have shown me the importance of having roots, of teaching me about how to stand firm when life moves and shifts. How to pivot and adapt with grace when the winds of change are blowing.

From both of you, I have received many lessons that have become the fuel for my evolution and transformation. I love you

And to all those without fathers today, I see you, I hold you in my heart ❤️

Five birthdays without you. Today you would have turned 45.

Five times the sun has circled without you. No amount of breathwork, mantra, meditation or time can shield me from your absence today.

Grief I am slowly learning is the heart honoring its own truth. So today I am letting myself miss you. Like really miss you.

Your wild, unfiltered energy.
Your inappropriate sense of humour.
How you were always all-in.
The way you loved your daughter so hard.
How you adored my children like they were your own.
How you savoured every single meal I cooked and showed so much gratitude.
How much you loved just being with us.
How strangely grounding your chaos could be.
How your words never danced around the truth.
You said what you meant and meant what you said.
I miss your unique and unmistakable spirit everyday.

I will sit with all this rawness and I will feel into every other heart that has known this kind of loss. Because grief connects us all and from this place I will draw strength.

Happy birthday brother. I know you’re everywhere but I still miss the hell out of you

Ahhhhhh magical Greece! I didn’t understand you when I first landed on your shores in my early 20s.

Your boldness unsettled me. The way you said things exactly as they were without softening them first to protect my comfort felt brutal, uncaring.

The way you stuck to your truth unapologetically, I took it personally. My wounded child didn’t know how to hold herself back then. I mistook your directness for rejection because at that time, people-pleasing was the only way I knew how to feel accepted.

But now in my 50s, my third trip to your beautiful lands and I now see you and can meet you exactly where you are. I can see your fire as honesty, the truth you speak without a filter as clarity and as freedom.

Now I understand you were just being real and maybe that’s what I was afraid of. You were trying to teach me something I wasn’t ready to learn back then. That truth doesn’t need permission and that love and respect don’t need to be sugar coated .

Thank you for showing me the parts of myself that still bend to be liked, that soften the truth to avoid being disapproved of, of trading authenticity for approval. I will carry your imprints with grace.

Guru purnima. A sacred day to honour the light-bearers, those who guide us through darkness and reveal the truth of who we are.

To my many teachers who have shaped my path
, .j.brian, , —
and to all the unseen teachers.

Both in form and formlessness, the words I’ve met through books; Patanjali, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Krishnamurti, Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj and many, many more.

To all those who’ve walked beside me in this life , I thank you. I bow in deep gratitude to every teacher who has reminded me of who I truly am.

I will honour your light by continuing to heal and grow so I can be a source of light for others. A vow I take everyday, to embody the light I’ve received.

I pause in reverence, to remember we are never alone.

Om Santi,Santi, Santi

There’s an Anaïs Nin quote that has guided me throughout the years. Through the loss, the change, the heartbreak, the growth, the healing and the becoming:

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

It has been a kind of light in the dark. A reminder that my fear isn’t an enemy it’s a gatekeeper. It’s a space in between, a pause before stepping into the uncertain, the unknown.

Fear of loss. Of the uncomfortable. Of being wrong. Making mistakes. Fear of not being enough. Of being judged. Disapproved of. Unliked. Fear of abandonment. Of being seen or not seen at all.

Fear whispers stay small, stay safe, stay closed, hold back. But staying tight in that bud, clinging to this illusion of safety comes at a cost. It’s paralysing, constricting, binding and it will stifle you.

This quote brings me back, not to fearlessness, but to trust. To the knowing that blossoming is rarely comfortable, but a necessary process.

Meet your fears again and again, allow them to soften so that you continue unfolding.
And remember, the bloom isn’t the reward. It’s the release.

Grief is so complex. So many emotional landscapes, known and unknown, familiar and incredibly disorienting at times. We don’t get to control it, know when it will arrive, dictate how long it stays or its departure date. Grief moves to the beat of its own drum. It has its own terms.

We don’t get over grief, my experience is that we start to learn to live alongside it. It still carves me open at the most unexpected times. It stretches me , it challenges me, it is continually asking for patience, willingness , resilience , compassion, truth and courage.

I try to keep living, loving and opening my heart especially when it hits hard and my heart wants to close. Learning to stay open and soft yet strong is an acquired skill. One that grows as grief slowly reveals us to ourselves.

I keep trusting that everything each of us has lost will in time become part of who we are, not as absence, but as energy reshaped by love. Woven into our very being, our cellular structure so that love for our people no longer with us on this earthly plane lives on in how we see and how we walk through this world.

To those who are grieving: I love you, I feel you, and you are not alone.
