The truth is sometimes you won’t understand why certain things are happening in your life.
It will feel frustrating and difficult.
You will question yourself – who you are, the choices you have made, the decisions you came to, your past and ultimately you still won’t find the answers in that.
We think that the more we know and understand, the more peace we will have but that isn’t always the case.
There are times in life all you can do is surrender and ride the waves.
To have faith and trust in the process.
That everything is happening for a reason for your greatest season.
I believe in you...
This is for you beautiful soul, if you’re in the fog, the uncertainty — doubting yourself, questioning yourself…
It may not make sense right now and maybe it isn’t meant to make sense right now, but one day it will.
We can’t always navigate life in our head, intellectually… logically.
And thus sometimes life will shake itself up with the twists, turns and all things unexpected to get you out of your head and into your body.
You know that niggling feeling that pulls at you and makes you feel uncomfortable deep down inside that you can’t explain?
Yeah that’s your soul being unsettled because maybe you’re not listening.
Maybe you desire more…
You aren't your thoughts
Caught between your head and your heart beautiful soul? 🤕
Your head… your mind… your brain – it isn’t you.
You aren’t your thoughts 💭
In fact your mind lies all the time – it’s a drama queen 🎭 the negative self talk…
“You should do it… don’t be stupid”
“Who do you think you are?”
“I mean the answer is so obvious are you dumb?”
Remember your head and mind is here to protect you, to keep you safe (which often can mean in the comfort zone which is great – stable and secure but it ain’t soul fulfilling)
Your heart… your soul… your higher self – that can’t be made up.
It bypasses your survival mode analytical mind.
It’s FELT in your BODY.
Drop into your body.
The stillness.
When your heart and soul speak through the body what do they say?
Trust the pull and nudges… it’s there for a reason.
That’s the biggest flex: faith, the knowing.
Following my mind let me to great places… for a while.
Everything on paper was perfect yet deep down I KNEW I wasn’t truly happy and satisfied.
For a while I TRIED to ignore it… but it just got LOUDER AND LOUDER.
It felt heavy, that I couldn’t carry it – the pounding, the knowing, that feeling… so I surrendered and trusted (yes it’s scary and uncomfortable… it’s called the leap of faith for a reason)…
Following my heart has led me to everything… love, abundance, health, wealth… living a life beyond my wildest dreams.
It’s not for the faint hearted… I mean imagine a world where we all truly did follow our heart 🤯
Confidence is trusting in yourself and your abilities.
Confidence is being secure in who you are.

Self confident people know what they bring to the table – they value themselves.

What is self love?
Self love is how we feel about ourselves. It is linked to our self esteem. It is caring and having regard for your own well-being and happiness. It is how we experience ourselves.
From my understand of it, self love is:
♥ Accepting yourself. Your worthiness. Honouring yourself. Being true to who you are.
♥ Authenticity. Knowing that you have flaws and that is okay, being at peace with it.
♥ Listening to your needs. Understanding what we want. Choosing ourself without comprising or sacrificing when we truly do not want to do so. This resource may be of help, A guide on how to use love languages. Love languages may be of use to you in understanding yourself better.
♥ Taking care yourself. Your well-being. Nourishing our mind, body and soul. “An empty lantern provides no light. Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly.” – Unknown
♥ An influential factor in decision making such as the actions we take, the partners we choose for a relationship, the behaviour we accept from ourselves and others.
♥ How we may feel about a soul mate or best friend in life – channeling that loving energy to ourselves. How we would treat them – with patience, love, respect, kindness and understanding.
“Love yourself unconditionally, just as you love those closest to you despite their faults.”
les brown
♥ Trusting yourself. Listening to your intuition and gut feelings. Knowing that you always make the best decision for yourself at that time. We know ourselves best. No one can self love for us.
Quotes that inspire and speak to self love
“Worthy now. Not if. Not when. We are worthy of love and belonging now. Right this minute. As is.”
brene brown
“Self respect, self worth and self love, all start with self. Stop looking outside of yourself for your value.”
Rob Liano
“It’s not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself, and make your happiness a priority. It’s a necessity.”
mandy hale
“A healthy self-love means we have no compulsion to justify to ourselves or others why we take vacations, why we sleep late, why we buy new shoes, why we spoil ourselves from time to time. We feel comfortable doing things which add quality and beauty to life.”
ANDREW MATTHEWS
“It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit.”
