Deeply Rooted In Yourself

Be deeply rootedโ€ฆ

Deeply rooted in your self-love.

Deeply rooted in your self-care.

Deeply rooted in your self-respect.

Deeply rooted in how you value yourself in all the ways.

We can find ourselves getting lost in taking care of other people, neglecting our own needs.

Work, family, friends, partners, life can take over our minds and take up our mental to do list.

We can give and give and give, but forget how we also need to receive.

We donโ€™t necessarily need to receive from others, but we do need to receive from ourselves.

Remember to fill your own cup before filling anotherโ€™s.

When you wake up, check in with yourself.

Before you go to bed, check in with yourself.

Throughout the day we can be so busy, but itโ€™s important to remember to take time to come back to your own body, your own feelings and take a mental note on how you are feeling.

Become deeply rooted in yourself.

This life is full of distractions, but when we can remember that our needs are also important, we can find more grounding and peace.

This is how we find our balance.

You matter.

Sit with Yourself

Sit with yourself.

Let the fears and worries swim around you. 

Then let the universe show you that there is nothing to worry about. 

There is nothing to fear. 

Sit with yourself. 

Remember who you are. 

Remember why you are here 

Sit with yourself.

Relish in the silence. 

Appreciate the nature that surrounds you. 

Sit with yourself. 

Lean in. 

Listen to the whispers of your heart. 

What are they sayingโ€ฆ

Sit with yourself. 

Be alone. 

Walk quietly.

Let the thoughts trickle away. 

Be still. 

Be silent. 

Breathe. 

You are safe. 

Love yourself. 

You are enough

Healing Comes From Feeling

The only way to heal is to feelโ€ฆ

-////-

Avoidance causes more suffering.

Numbing just makes it take longer to heal.

Feel the pain.

Experience the emotions.

You came here to heal, to grow and to feel. 

Yet the human has created so much distraction.

So many creams.

So many quick fixes.

But the only way to heal is to feel. 

Youโ€™ve got to feel it to heal it. 

Move through the emotions.

Move through the pain.

See the lessons.

See the guidance.

It is all here to teach you.

Aging

Her face is changing. 

Her skin is different. 

Her body is not quite the same as it once was. 

She doesnโ€™t know how she feels about it. 

Weeks go by and her skin is looser. 

Months go by and her smile is changed. 

Remembering back to when she was younger and thinking, โ€œif only I could have valued myself more, if only I could have treated myself better.โ€

Time goes on with each click of the second hand. 

The sun sets and rises, and she continues to find her way. 

Still learning, still growing, yet now looking a little different and feeling a bit more further away from who she once was, yet still always the same.

The Bridges of Life

There is magic in the journey.

We see where we want to be and we must let go of worrying how we will get there.

The bridges of life are not always for us to build, but they are a gift that we are guided to, that allow us to move from one chapter to the next.

We must not worry about how we will get to the next destination, we must only focus on visualizing where we want to go.

The journey is full of possibilitiesโ€ฆ

Remember to dream big, trust the process and have as much fun with it all as you possibly can.

-M.

A Journey Persisted

For as long as she could remember, she knew there would be something special for herโ€ฆ

For as long as she could remember, she knew she could never give up on believing in herselfโ€ฆ.

As the years went by, she continued to fall and then crawl through lifeโ€™s challenges,

Until one day she remembered she could walk.

Then she quickly started to run.

She began sprinting, jumping and then finally she flew.

When she discovered her wings, she learned to float over those who didnโ€™t believe in her or see her for who she was.

She didnโ€™t worry about being alone, for she was always surrounded by so many who saw her for who she was and loved her no matter what, even through months and years of silence.

Whooshing through trees, flying beside mountain tops, she soared high above the clouds.

She flew up to the stars and zoomed back down, reaching the oceans and diving in like a sea creature, moving through the waters with great force.

Back to the surface, letting the air dry her off, she would then find a safe place to land.

Not for long though, as she found her place to be in the sky.

She knew she wasnโ€™t like many others.

She knew she was made differently and created on purpose, for a purpose that was all her own.

Only she could know what that was, and what she was here for.

Though all the pieces may not make sense to others, she knew each one was meant for her, even the pieces that didnโ€™t fit into the whole picture.

One day, maybe far off down the road, she would tell her story.

But for now, she will just continue to fly, soaring on her own, gliding from tree to tree, taking breaks on the mountain topsโ€ฆ

Solitude, this is her happy place.

At last, she knew, her purpose was there all along.

To be continuedโ€ฆ.

Grow

Let it be,

There is no force necessary.

Let it be,

The best direction is the one of the wind.

Let it go,

For each day we must allow the day to flow.

Let it go,

For in all things, the best thing is to set all worries free.

Grow,

Just as the trees must reach the sky,

Grow,

You will find your way.

In the end,

The best thing you will have ever done was to let it be, let it go and to grow.

Life has a way of guiding us down the path.

We must learn to be careful of what we carry with us.

Not everything (or everyone) is worthwhile of our precious energy.

– M.

Healing Journey

Sending pictures,

Sending texts,

Looking for love,

Looking for validation.

Trying to live up to everyone elseโ€™s expectations.

Hoping for love.

Looking for acceptance.

What is this life without outside validation.

Here me out.

Here me now.

See me fully.

See me wholly.

I am lost.

I am naked.

I am broken.

I am aching.

Cure me.

Fix me.

Heal me quickly.

The pains of this torture are slowly killing me.

Let me be.

Let me grow.

The only way is for me to be alone.

Find me lost.

Find me sad.

Leave me broken,

Leave me be.

I am healing,

I am picking up the scattered pieces of whatโ€™s left of me.

-M.

Love and Relationships

Why do we think love from another will satisfy us and solve our problems?

For too long I have thought this.

Find a mate, โ€œthe oneโ€, and all will be fixed.

Walking a way from dating was the best fixer of my many of my problems.

Instead I took time to learn to go within.

Learning to love myself.

Learning to focus on my growth and my path was the best choice for my life.

Not everyone is meant for someone.

Not everyone wants to be in a relationship or have all that comes with having a mate.

Some of us need this lifetime to heal and grow and find peace in solitude.

When you learn to look within and seek out what is truly right for you, you can stop spending your energy on what is not allowing you to truly heal.

Direct your focus.

Allow your truth to come out.

Only you know what is right and best for you.

Only you can make the choices that fit with your life and your needs.

๐ŸŒธ

  • Single by choice, for my highest good. Self-care, self-growth, focused on my purpose and on my path. And Grateful for that.

Bloom

Why settle with mediocre when you could allow yourself to blossom?

We are told to stay in line and to stay quiet.

Taught to stay small.

Follow the line of crowds, only do what you need to do.

Donโ€™t step out of line.

Donโ€™t talk back.

Donโ€™t have a voice.

Ambition is for dreamers and losers who think they can be different and still succeed.

๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ

We ARE each different.

We DO have a voice.

We SHOULD step out of line and get away from the crowds.

We MUST learn to follow our hearts and TRUST our potential.

Bellow out your hearts desires from the very depth of your soul.

Scream and shout and dance with PASSION, for you are no robot.

You are WILD and FREE!

Keep being you.

Learn to love YOU.

Grow.

๐ŸŒฑ

Blossom.

Bloom.
