OK, you might be a little bit messy today. You might even feel bloated, gassy, cranky and a little less than your awesome self. But listen, even on the messiest, most uncomfortable, baddest of bad hair days, youâre still a beautiful, frickenâ miracle, capable of achieving BIG ( and I mean HUGE) awesomeness!
Wear that mess of fuzz like a crown and go make some magic!
We donât arrive to this life adventure knowing it all. If we did, what would be the point?
I remember this chaotic, impatient, awkward, young girl, tripping over life. You might remember a similar girl or boy from the early days of your own life story.
When I reflect back on this girl, I do so with such compassion and love, because I realize now; ~ How hard she worked to find her voice and to be heard. ~ How she struggled to find the values to guide her. ~ How desperately she wanted to find her purpose. ~ How determined she was in her quest to find her place in the world and find her tribe, And ~ How passionately she craved, and still craves, authentic human connections. Back âthenâ she couldnât even describe what this craving was.
I hope you see and admire the younger version of yourself the same way. Be gentle with, and forgive yourself for the mistakes you think youâve made, because none of it was a mistake. That younger you, was just trying to figure life out, searching, learning and growing like we all are.
Wherever you are along this life journey, is exactly where youâre meant to be. Be grateful that your younger self got you this far, now, keep on goingđ.
Youâre allowed to stop, to rest, to reflect, and catch your breath. To find your sanctuary amongst the trees, upon the water, under the stars, in a field of wild flowers or on a mountain top.
Somewhere tranquil, uncluttered, and away from the noise, where you can surrender to the sound of your soul whispering all she wants you to know.
Youâre allowed to step away from everything that ails you and everyone that demands something from you. You donât have to explain why, you may not even know why.
Give yourself permission to take a break from all of it and drown yourself in peace. Itâs in this peacefulness that our breath softens, our bodies relax, our noisy minds exhale and the answers weâre looking for come.
