It took me a while to learn that being vulnerable is not synonymous with being weak. On the contrary, I found out through real experience that being vulnerable (especially when healing from trauma) takes a lot of strength!

I woke up with this song stuck in my head, and when I saw this post, I knew it was a sweet sign that I had to post it!

Anxiety loves to shove and toss me around so much, but when I remind myself that I don’t have to finish 2739379493 tasks in 10 minutes… well, I feel a little better.

Prioritizing tasks and keeping my 3-item (no longer than this!) to-do lists has been helping me a lot. 🤍

“إنَ أقصى طموح المَرءِ أن يُنظرَ إليهِ بِرِقةٍ، وَأن يُحَبّ كَمَا هوَ.”

“The ultimate ambition of a person is to be looked at delicately, and to be loved as they are.”

This quote touched my heart… well, it touched one of my heart’s wounds. What a dream it is to be able to take up space, to live as one desires, without fearing the consequence of rejection or not meeting standards a.k.a “not being enough”.

When I read this quote, my heart, in a nano second, imagined and felt a reality where all the above was true. I instantly felt so light like a huge weight was lifted off my chest.

This makes me wonder of how much shame and self doubt I, and others, carry every day without being aware of it.

I won’t lie to myself or to you and say “if you just love yourself and stop seeking validation from others” you’ll never feel inadequate or rejected. Life’s not perfect like that.

But what I tell myself and would like for you to remember is to be present in the moment while you spend time with those special people who make you feel so loved, accepted, and appreciated.

Relish on the wonderful feeling of love and belongingness around your chosen ones.

Perfection is a dream, but this is heaven on earth. 🤍

Although many of us have loved and experienced being loved, this post is a wonderful reminder of people’s unique ways in showing that love. Love languages can differ from mother to father, brother to sister, friend to partner. One of the best things you could do for yourself is learn what love languages you like and are comfortable with and which you are not. Once you learn these, you will be equipped with the knowledge necessary in order to communicate your wants and needs to people. Once you learn your love languages, setting boundaries will become a little easier than before.

✨a little prayer for you: May you find the love you deserve, by finding yourself ✨

Posted • I used to base how everybody else felt about me on whether they lived up to the expectations of how I thought they should behave.

We all have them… beautiful instruction manuals, which could detail exactly the ‘right’ way for our friends, partners, and family members to act.

And it all seems so reasonable to us.

But guess what?

Every person in your life has a completely different brain to you, so expecting them to behave the way you would is a little crazy.

And when we believe they should behave differently, we feel resentful, hurt, frustration, disappointed…

And we create so much disconnection from them, as the unique human that they are.

Posted • Are you a perfectionist? ✨ I’ve been known to have some perfectionist tendencies…like setting unrealistic expectations, procrastinating, and being highly self-critical. ❤️ I’ve been reading up on what perfectionist can look like and here’s what I’ve learned: ⭐️ perfectionists are similar to high achievers, but different in a few key ways that often make perfectionists achieve less but stress more. ⭐️ Perfectionists often take on the all-or-nothing mentality. ⭐️ Perfectionists tend to focus only on mistakes, which can keep them from appreciating positive feedback. ✨ There are ways to help your perfectionist part feel more taken care of and less anxious - things like working on positive self-talk, recognizing the signs of your perfectionist tendencies, and mindfulness. ❤️ If you want to read the article where I got most of this info, check out my stories! 💕 Do you have any of these tendencies?
