Pressure

Do you ever feel like you are being squished by all the pressures of this natural world?

Life.

Circumstances.

Insecurities.

Uncertainties.

Expectations.

Obligations.

So much weight, so many things pushing on you, sometimes it feels like its coming from all sides.

One day you feel good and fine, then the next day you feel this overwhelming sense of sadness.

Overwhelming pressure.

A deep longing to let go, but you don’t quite know how.

You feel a loss of the ability to hold it all together, and you just want to let go and let it all crumble and fall away.

But you don’t.

You feel the emotions, and understand the pressure and remember what you are doing it for.

You remember who you are here to support and teach.

You look around and see how far you’ve come.

You see all of those who are doing their best to encourage you, because they believe in you.

You remember where you want to go.

Still, the tears flow.

The emotions sit, like a deep weight, a heavy rock in your gut.

You don’t know when you will get to where you want to be.

You feel stuck.

You feel lost.

Growth is full of pain.

Healing hurts.

Life is full of pressure.

Life is full of pain.

Don’t let it hold you down.

Don’t let it take control.

Expectations, interpretations of experiences, so many obligations…

People, places, finances, politics…

So many things taking over your mind and flooding into your peaceful space.

They are not as important as your mental health and well-being.

You are important.

Remember why you are here and see that pressure as nothing more than an interpretation of expectations that are not requirements.

The only thing that is required is that you are okay.

If you don’t feel okay for a little while, or even for a day or so, its okay.

It will pass.

This is temporary.

You are an eternal being, you are a beautiful soul, full of endless possibilities and gifts to explore, in this natural world.

Stand up, shake it off, dance a little and smile.

You are still here to fulfill your destiny.

You are still here to shine your beautiful light.

Your strength will continue to grow and you will continue to heal.

Enjoy your journey.

Not every day will be easy.

Not every road will feel like the right one.

Sometimes you’ll feel alone and sad, and confused, but that is okay.

You will continue to get through each new pain.

You will see rain, rainbows, sunrises, sunsets, and many, many storms in between.

Feel it all.

Experience it all.

All of it is necessary.

You will grow to appreciate each experience, for they are each important.

Pressure comes from expections.

There are no expectations worthy of losing your peace over.

Let go and let it flow.

Be still.

Run fast.

Whatever you need to do.

Most of all, give thanks for this life.

Gratitude heals and the more you give thanks, the more you see how much there is to be grateful for.

Remember that you are a gift.

Thank you for being here and for choosing to stay and continue on your journey.

May you always find your way back to your center.

Let go, and find your peaceful place.

You are worthwhile.
