You’ve found another opportunity for your inner critic to take charge. You’re now using personal development as a way to put yourself down for not being healed or evolved enough. It’s time to take a step back. You’ve missed the compassion component.

Your mother or father may never change their ways but you can change your perception of the relationship.

Allow yourself to mourn the relationship you desired and then choose ways to relate to them that accepts who they are.

Healed or not, you may attract people who aren’t good for you. We live in a world where people have free will. They may use their power to try and gain access to you. The key is to practice discernment + be healed enough to know when someone isn’t right for you.

I wish we could hold that people can be many things at once.

Forget who you know. What are your values and principles? And do you hold yourself accountable to those? Forget what you earn. When’s the last time you were in service to others? Forget your material possessions. What does your heart yearn for?

Hyper-visibility doesn’t necessarily protect you from feeling lonely and disconnected from community. Plenty of people are popular but feel lonely.

Approach your dark side with no judgement. Sit alongside it and ask what it’s trying to communicate with you. Often times, are dark is getting us to pay attention to ways we can further align with our higher selves.

What happens when the eyes aren’t on you? When you aren’t getting the attention you once were? Does your self-esteem go with it?

Remember, you’re still worthy and valuable without an audience.

Constantly reminded that some of what we see online is smoke and mirrors. We truly can’t make assumptions based on how people represent themselves online. We are only getting a snapshot of who they are.

Surrender to the seasons that aren’t loud, that require you to take a step back + tend to your inner world. Ones that requires you to work on your internal foundation and do some restorative, healing work. Some seasons aren’t outwardly loud but transformative on the inside.

I apologize to myself for every putting my core needs on the back-burner to accommodate, and appease others.

I apologize to myself for ever convincing myself that having a toxic person in my life was more important than preserving my peace.

One thing about me is that I’m going to keep trying. Even if it takes me days, weeks to get back to it, I will get up. Can’t give up on myself, on my life.
