You can’t stop your thoughts.
You melt the resistance you feel when trying to control something that is uncontrollable.
The issue at heart here is your resistance to your thoughts and trying to get rid of them.
It doesn’t matter what you do, you cannot control or get rid of your thoughts!
It’s up to you to choose who is there to meet the thoughts.
That is your power 🦋✨ 🤝 🧠

Your pain and wounds need not be ugly.
Our pain should not stop us.
Our pain should not make us want to give up life.
You can be a portal to a deeper and more conscious form of living.
We can become distrustful and weary of life because of the hurt we endured in our journey.
Live for the moments you cannot put into words.
Live for the kisses that will take your breath away.
Live for the people you are yet to meet who will change your life.
Live for the conversations that touch your heart and soul.
Live for today, here and now, even when times are tough, because there are so many reasons to keep going.

Healing is a funny thing.
It can feel slow.
It can feel as if nothing has changed.
It can feel like you are doing so much yet so little at the same time.
It can feel like the dark void, and it can feel like the fullness.
And then, one day, you’ll realise how far you’ve come.
You’ll realise that healing isn’t sudden.
You’ll realise that you’ve been healing the whole time.
Every step counts whether big or small.
Healing and recovery aren’t a race so you don’t need a timer.
There are some things you simply can’t rush. Setbacks happen. That doesn’t mean you won’t heal.
So keep going, because you are healing ❤️🩹

On your death bed, you won’t wish you’d worked more hours.
You’ll wish you spent less time working and more time with your loved ones.
On your death bed, you won’t wish your body was different.
You will wish you appreciated your body more for its strength and grace.
On your death bed, you won’t wish you were just like everyone else.
You will wish you stayed true to yourself and stood out from the masses.
What you should be afraid of is never truly living…
What’s scary? To have an unlived life.
What will it take for you to truly realise life is precious?
There is no guarantee in life except that you will die. This is death’s greatest gift to us.
Knowing this is an opportunity to live.
To truly be alive ❤️🔥
Old energy is clearing and the new is ready to rush in.
In the meantime, be kind to your mind, be kind to your body, be kind to your heart and be kind to your soul.
Move at your own pace.
The good is inevitable.
Better days are on their way.
Good things are coming.
Good things are waiting for you.
Good things are about to happen.
Life has its high and lows. Life has its setbacks. The weight of sadness, grief and pain. The ache of a broken heart and stress of an overwhelmed mind. The frustration you feel being stuck with nowhere to go. The paralysis of anxiety and perfectionism. The yearning for hope and relief… there is more to come.

It’s easy to feel tiny and insignificant when there’s almost 7.8 billion of us.
We do a great job of recognising how amazing and special other people are but forget our own strengths and specialties.
The sun and moon are great, yet the sun is special in its own way and so is the moon.
The sun can’t be the moon or do its job and if it could we would lose out on the sun!
Your existence is needed.
You would be missed by so many people if you weren’t here.
Your life causes ripple effects throughout the world even if you don’t think so.
That drunk girl you spoke to in the bathroom is thanking her stars she met you on a night out and finally got around to dumping her toxic ex.
Your local barista who remembers your order off by heart not only because you order regularly but also because they appreciate you.
That donation you made to charity has changed someone’s life and you’ll never even know about it.
Significance isn’t about being here.
Showing up.
Being you 🧡

What is to give light, must endure burning.
the pain you feel today, will be your power tomorrow
the pain you feel today, will be someone’s medicine tomorrow
you cannot heal what you do not feel

Maybe it’s the mishaps, mistakes and melancholy that lead to the most beautiful and unexpected spiritual breakthroughs.
Growth isn’t always about the gains.
It’s also about the losses.
Like losing the weight of others’ opinions, your appetite for ego, your old self, the past and your mistakes, pleasing others, relationships that have run their course, self-criticism, self-sabotage, and your fixed mindset.
This is what The Great Unlearning is all about 🔥

Perhaps the light is absent because we still have a few things we need to understand about the darkness.
Do not be afraid of darkness for you have the capacity to plunge into the depths of the ocean that is your soul.
When everything seems too hard, I hope you remember the strength and resilience that has kept you here despite all the hardships and heartache you’ve endured.
I hope you remember how deeply you’re loved.
I hope you remember how much you’ve grown. I hope you remember the purity and innocence of your heart, with its vast capacity to love.
I hope you remember how incredible it is that you’re here and get to experience the greatest gift of all: life.

When you feel weak and sad, remember that you are made from the same stuff that makes the stars shine so bright.
The same stuff that makes the ocean ebb and flow.
The same stuff as that sun that bursts joy into the sky.
Healing is a journey.
I hope you never forget your enduring strength and resilience for you have fought many internal battles and wars that no one knows about.
I hope you never forget your divine nature that the universe would never give you anything that you couldn’t handle.
I hope you never forget how loved and supported you always are.
