Pain and darkness


We all go through dark times. But while pain is inevitable, it must be experienced, rather than escaped. Pain is often an indication that something must change, and the truth of it has to be wholeheartedly embraced. This is something we all struggle with. So how do we do it?
1. Find the courage to be yourself, and understand that you are a work in progress, not a finished product. 2. Be proud of your growth, humble about your weaknesses, and compassionate about your mistakes. 3. Don't be afraid to reintroduce yourself to those who think they have you figured out - you are not the same person you were yesterday. 4. Speak your truth and express your heartfelt wishes - you matter and you are worthy regardless of what you do or don't do. 5. The only limitations are those you impose on yourself - so start practicing positive self talk. 6. Break through your invisible barriers and go on to something better, knowing you are now better for having gone through the pain too.

When you get stuck

Sometimes you can get stuck in a relationship: You're in a constant state of trigger (fight/ flight/ freeze) instead of feeling intimately connected You've become two old stories instead of two open hearts You're scared or angry most of the time instead of feeling free and authentic It's heavy and complicated instead of light and playful  There is more effort placed on control and strategy than growth and gratitude You are there because of a commitment, because you feel you “should”, not because you want to be.  What can you do? You basically have 3 options: 1. Stay . Continue the slow, painful process of losing yourself in order to keep the relationship. 2. Let it go . Sacrifice your relationship to save your soul. 3. Change . You both have to be willing and capable of growing together. The goal here is to see if you can get back to love without sacrificing your authentic selves in the process. To do this, you must remove the idea of promises, attachment...

Courage is not the absence of fear

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." -George Addair Wholeheartedly believe this. We have two choices in life: be led by fear, or lead with love and courage, trusting that things will unfold and work out just as they should. Maybe not how you planned, but always for the best. Fears will never disappear. But when you make peace with your fears, possibilities will appear. The next time you feel fear, just take the superhero stance! (And do some yoga to quiet the mind.)

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.
