Life will throw many obstacles our way. I have been waiting for a period of relief, a point in time where it doesn’t feel like everything is falling apart. But the reality is that such a period may never come. I don’t want to waste my life waiting for the optimal time to be happy. I don’t want to waste the moments living in worry. I want to do more of the things that bring me joy and help me celebrate the blessings. I want to let go of the limiting beliefs, I am sick and tired of them all!
Knowing that you have the tools to love and care for yourself is empowering. But learning how to use them is a challenge and we won’t always get it right.
It’s like when you are thrown into water without being taught how to swim. If you panic you will exert all your energy on kicking and screaming, which ultimately will result in you drowning. But when you are calm you can figure out that you can float on your back.
Life is not trying to drown us, it’s our thoughts that are working against us. So lie on your back, pay attention to what you can control and put your energy into making the most of the moment. Save yourself by letting go of the panic. Save yourself by trusting yourself. Life will respond accordingly, it will soften if you soften.
I am not going to kick and scream. I am simply going to take a breath and be here, now. Practicing loving myself, even if I only manage to achieve this 1% of the time, it is better than giving up all together!
Love Always,
