Everything you read and hear from other people—be it their own stories to share or the pieces of advice they gave—is not the exact blueprint that you need to follow step by step to be healed. Those are just your guides finding what fits your way of being cured. The only thing you need to do is to be patient in finding the right process to make you feel better—it may take some time, but trust me, it's all worth it in the end.
One of the best feeling in my life is how i manage to handle my mental health, by means of setting my own boundaries. Taking full responsibility for yourself is a form of protection by setting your own limitations to all the things around you. It’s fine to set your own boundaries. Now i manage to learn how to filter people in my life, choosing the right people. People who will remind me to slow down, people who will remind me to push through for my dreams and goals. It’s…

"The older i get the more realize how being grateful for simple things make life beautiful: a cup of coffee, a smile on children's faces, clean laundry, waking up in the morning and just being in the here and now, not trying to figure out the whole life at once. The older i get the more realize how all the messiness in life taught me the most important lessons in appreciation and gratitude, and shaped me into a stronger, beautiful, perfectly imperfect person. The older I get…
At some point, people will begin to expect you to return to what they perceive to be a normal life. Actually, your life will never be normal again. You will learn to be pleasant, productive, and functional but things will never be the same again because an integral part of what used to be you has been torn away. But....even in the earliest stages of feeling around for your land legs...the familiar moves and thought patterns of work can have remarkable therapeutic value.…
Always strive to keep your energy field grounded in the present. It doesn't mean you don't work on your future it means that while you set goals and make plans, you ask yourself what you can do right now in this moment to reach those goals. Maybe it's making a list or making some phone calls. But you do those things in the moment. Don't get stressed about a future that you can't do anything about right now. We only have so much energy, I hope this week you try to keep yours…
"Expecting things to change without putting in any effort is like waiting for a ship at the airport." It sounds funny but it is true. In all simplicity any SUCCESS IS... S - See your dream or goal. U - Understand the obstacles. C - Create a positive mental picture. C - Clear your mind of self doubt. E - Embrace the challenge. S - Stay on track. S - Show the world you can do it! “It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day,…
Can being hopeful make our day positive? Being hopeful means that we trust things to work in our favour. When we start our day with this trust, even though things may not change, how we see and feel things changes. Our past experiences in life greatly influence our present. Sometimes, when we feel things are unfavourable, we may feel they will never change. With this mindset, we find faults in everyone, displeasure in every situation and dissatisfaction in everything. Begin…
How you see your problem is more important than the problem itself. Most times, the problems you face are not as big as they appear to be, it takes a change of perspective to see the light. Don't confuse what you are going through with who you are. Your problem is what happened to you, it is not you. Always remember, you are bigger than your problems. Don't get trapped in it. You can't solve a problem when you are overwhelmed by it. Answers come when you are able to elevate…
When the fears of what other people think hold you back, take a look around you and remember, you won't be here for long, neither will they, everyone is living with his or her own fears, but never let yours stop you. Soon you will leave this world behind, decide today to reach your full potential and live your life to the fullest. In the end, others opinions won't matter, your fears won't matter either. What will matter is how you live today and every day. You won't be…
I feel like everyone’s progressing but me. I feel like I am always at the end of the line, always coming too close but never really get my turn. It feels like stars watch me on the land screen, like as if my life is a sitcom with a laugh track that plays on a loop. I never get the goal. I feel like everyone’s buses come and pick them up, while mine makes me wait longer. Until I’m the only one left at the station, as everyone passes by. I never get to move forward. I feel…
YOU ARE ENOUGH You are enough even when you don't feel like it. Even on your darkest days, you know the ones when you don't even feel like getting out of bed, you're enough on those days too. You are enough even when your heart has been hurt by someone you love and care about. You know those days when you stand in front of the mirror and don't feel like yourself, you're enough on those days too. When you're exhausted, run off your feet and didn't finish everything you needed…
The most beautiful quality of all in a human being, in my humble opinion? The ability to listen deeply. To listen from Presence. From stillness. To listen without trying to fix someone, or change them, or ‘save’ them. The ability to allow another to be exactly as they are. Not giving unsolicited advice. Not lecturing them about the latest psychological research or the ‘most true’ spiritual teaching. Not trying to mould them, manipulate them into matching a concept of who…
It’s very sad to see that there are people who always see the wrong in you. It is so sad to know that some people will already judge you without even knowing you. It’s very sad that there are people who is willing to destroy you or trying to tarnish your reputation as a kind person. It is very sad that there are people who unfollows you, unfriended you, who cut ties with you just because they see you as their biggest insecurity. It’s very sad that people see you as a threat…
A lot of times, we don't recognize important moments in our life as they happen. We just realize their value when we look back. That's why sometimes, whenever I feel happy or complete, I take a second to pause and memorize the moment. You see, it's not always happy in my head, but there are moments when I feel like I could shine if I wanted to, like when I'm sitting by the sea and watching the sunset, or when I'm on the bus ride home and leaning my head against the glass…
Dear self, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the times i prioritize other people but forsaking your safety, and crossing your boundaries. I'm sorry for the times i didn't listen to you when you keep on saying you're already hurting, but i still stayed on the environment and with the people hurting you. I'm sorry for the times i failed to protect you just because i was settling for a little amount of attention and care for the people who doesn't really value you. I'm sorry that all…
You’re going to realize it one day — that happiness was never about your job, or your degree, or being in a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all of those who came before you, it was never about being like the others. One day, you’re going to see it — that happiness was always about the discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go. Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself, it was…
Can spending time with yourself clear the confusion of the mind? The time spent in silence is the time of self-connection. When we connect with ourselves, we distance ourselves from the external stimulus, so things become clear, and we get to know what we truly want. Most of us lack clarity in life because we want to live the way we have been told is a successful way of living, even if we don't feel happy about it. So we are always a participant in the fast-paced life…
Just Let them. If they want to choose something or someone over you, LET THEM. If they want to go weeks without talking to you, LET THEM. If they are okay with never seeing you, LET THEM. If they are okay with always putting themselves first, LET THEM. If they are showing you who they are and not what you perceived them to be, LET THEM. If they want to follow the crowd, LET THEM. If they want to judge or misunderstand you, LET THEM. If they act like they can live without…
Until we become totally at peace with ourselves within, those around us can have a huge impact on our lives. They can help raise our energy level or lower it, especially if we are connecting for the wrong reasons. If it's still important to get someone's approval, then our energies will be lower and unfortunately we don't realise this - until we're ready to stop doing it. Our energy levels will shift depending on who we are with. The more self-love and respect we have for…
Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and being alone won't either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You have to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes too near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their…
Times don't stay the same. Pains won't last. The miserable past will soon be forgotten. Persistent storms will soon make way for sunshine and rainbows. Your fears will prove to be unfounded. Keep trying. Have some patience. Believe that you are worthy. It's just a matter of time. Have a wonderful and blessed day beautiful souls ✨💜
Sometimes we look in the mirror and see sunshine happy bright eyes a soft smile calm, rested face ... But sometimes we see only a mess ... A strange face looking back at us ... An image that makes us sad. Dark circles under tired eyes, frown lines, lips curving downwards under strain and stress of whatever is baring down on us. What is ever invisible in our mirror though, but reality and absolute fact, is the hearts we have touched, lives even changed because of it. We don't…
We all deserve a friend who listens to us without judgement. Someone who has the courage to correct us when we are doing something wrong, not someone who's going to tolerate our bad habits and attitudes. Someone who'll accept our flaws and imperfections and will still be there for us, no matter what and regardless of distance. We all deserve someone like that. 🦋
May your HEART be BRAVE, your MIND FIERCE, and your SPIRIT FREE! What would you ask for, if you knew the answer was - YES? "Most people never ask for what they want. A lot of good happens if you ask for what you want. First of all, you’ll be forced to define what you want. Second, you’ll be forced to think about how you might get it. The third step, is the easiest and THE LEAST utilised. JUST ASK." - Nick Crocker Asking always increases our chances of receiving. People…
You have to be on your own—not because you deserve to be with yourself alone, but for the reason that sometimes, the people whom you can lean on will also have such hard times to face. They will feel empty, too, and will be needing some help. And if there will come a time when all of you are going through something at the same time and can't be of rescue for each other, you have to stand up on your own feet, get your own back, and be there on your own being without having a…
Should we focus on our actions more than our goals? Our goals are basically the desires we intend to achieve in life. We need to plan, prepare, and take action to achieve these goals. When we only focus on our goal, sometimes, seeing how far we are from it, we get discouraged. This is why many people give up on their goals. When we focus on our actions, we see the little changes that happen with our effort, and these little achievements keep us motivated. You should have a…
Let’s talk about forgiveness because it’s misunderstood. It’s misinterpreted. And it’s something that can make you or break you. To forgive someone is: To make peace within. To let go. Too be able to move forward. To find closure. To set yourself free. We are all raised to believe forgiveness is a privilege we give to the person that hurt us and we win if we don’t forgive. We are strong if we don’t forgive. Not true. Forgiveness will bring peace. It’s about you and your…
We all have our own stories. We all have suffered. We all are a little broken and a little shattered inside. Every one of us has suffered heartbreaks and gone through failures. But no matter what we have gone through it does not give us the right to disrespect or disregard others on the same journey. Respect others because you don’t know what battle they are fighting.
What changes are you making? It is the obvious that we sometimes don’t see. It’s like the titles, material possessions, honors, and friends we try to attract by mentally carrying big signs saying “we are worthy”. The attempts for significance are the very things that weight us down in life and make our journey burdensome. When in reality, we just have to be our True Self to discover that is all that is required to be happy and fulfilled. Not everyone will understand. Not…
