Focus

Focus your thoughts on each moment.

Let go of the last.

Understand you will get to the future.

You are here, now.

Bring your focus in.

Peace

Breathe in peace.

Breathe out fear.

Breathe in healing.

Breathe out fear.

Breathe in trust.

Breathe out….

Love Yourself

How do you learn to love yourself?

When is it something that is more easily understood?

Something so simple.

Seeing yourself.

Understanding who you are.

Why is it so much easier to feel as though you are not good enough?

Why is it normal to feel insecure and unworthy of even the most simple kind of self-acceptance?

Too often we are shown that we are selfish if we think of our own feelings.

Too often is it shown that we don’t deserve to be treated well.

Do you ever feel as though you are being guided towards understanding more about how to be better to yourself?

We don’t deserve to feel guilty about taking time out of our days for ourselves.

It is important to spend time with ourselves, and to care for our own needs.

It’s time to stop being unkind to ourselves and learn to love ourselves more.

Searching

For so long, I had hoped to find someone…

Someone to lean on,

Someone to talk to,

Someone to love…

For so long I thought that would be the answer, to get out of these storms, out of the depths of this open water.

Finally I learned…

It was never going to be someone…

It was never going to be a person…

It was just always going to be me…

For so long I had felt lost…

For so long, I thought I needed to be found…

Finally, I found myself.

Yet, I still linger, in this deep ocean, but no longer searching.

No longer lost.

No longer waiting fo someone to rescue me.

No longer waiting for someone to love me or to laugh with me.

I can laugh with myself.

I can love myself.

I am found.

I found me.

-M.

You are Safe

I see you,

Hurting and not telling anyone.

I see you,

Falling and falling, struggling to pull yourself back up.

I see you.

It’s okay.

It’s all going to be okay.

You are safe.

⁃ M.

Endless

You are endless.

You will go on living, even after this life.

You are eternal.

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.

-M.

Strength on the Horizon

You may not always feel it, but you are stronger than you think.

Look at where you are today, it wasn’t always easy, it wasn’t always a piece of cake.

You have fought through many battles, and you have stood your ground.

Look at where you are today, you are stronger than you think.

Yesterday, you may have been full of more motivation, but now here you are, you have gained more momentum, and now you have more power and distance, as those past battles are moving further and further away.

Look at where you have been before, lost and fighting, forever wondering what would come from all the war.

You are here now, a fighter, a warrior, you are stronger than you think.

Look at the clock, it ticks without looking back, unknowing of anything except each tick forward, but you can look back, and you can look to the horizon, if you need more hope, for there is always more strength to come, on the horizon.

You have come this far, you have made it here, let it all be and let that worry go.

You are stronger than you think.

-M.

Don’t Stay

Don’t stay.

You can survive on your own.

You don’t need him.

You are capable without her.

If he puts you down, walk away.

If she hurts you again, shut that door.

Walk away.

Don’t stay.

Get out of town.

Do whatever you need to do, to be okay.

Do it for him.

Do it for her.

Most of all, do it for you.

Don’t stay.

-M.
