I AM A WORK IN PROGRESS…🫶🫶🫶🐦⬛
Do you want to feel peace and calm, and learn to stop reacting in moments of crisis?
How do we truly love ourselves? TAKE THE TIME…BE PREVENTATIVE, BE CONSISTENT!
It begins by giving ourselves the gift of presence, taking a few moments each day to breathe deeply and return to the sacred space within. It is found in speaking our truth with courage and kindness, and in releasing the exhausting burden of worrying about what others think of us. We are not here to carry the weight of every opinion, judgment, or misunderstanding.
Why are we so afraid to heal our hearts, or to live by listening to them?
True self love is trusting that our soul is on a journey of growth. Sometimes we make choices that later need to be corrected. Sometimes we believe something wholeheartedly, only to discover a deeper truth tomorrow. This is not failure; it is evolution. Wisdom is not found in always being right, but in remaining open to greater understanding.
In the same way, we are invited to release judgment toward others when they shift, change their minds, or move in directions that no longer match what they once said. This, too, is part of being human. Growth is not linear, and understanding deepens over time. To judge someone for evolving is to forget that we ourselves are always in motion, always becoming.
Loving ourselves means forgiving ourselves for what we did not know, and forgiving others for the ways they have hurt us from their own places of pain and limitation. It means laying down the stories of guilt, shame, resentment, and self-judgment that keep us chained to the past.
It also means choosing not to judge others harshly when their path looks different from what we expected when they say one thing and later do another as this is often part of the process of learning, unlearning, and awakening. We are all students of life, each finding our way through shifting awareness.
The soul was never meant to be imprisoned by perfection. It was meant to expand, to learn, to experience, and to awaken. Every time we choose peace over worry, truth over fear, forgiveness over bitterness, and presence over regret, we return home to ourselves.
This is the deepest form of self care, not the tending of the body alone, but the tending of the spirit. When the mind is clear, the heart is open, and the soul is at peace, we become a living expression of love itself.
