Afghans have been forced to sell their personal possessions in the markets of Kabul to buy food for their families

73 days ago the Taliban effectively banned teenage girls from attending school. Boys of all ages were allowed back but girls over 12 were not. While some provinces have allowed girls to return to their classrooms, millions are still waiting #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #Afghanistan

children from Arghestan Dist of Kandahar also have the same dreams and wishes as the children from other parts of the world they wish to go to school have clean drinking water clean clothes and all the other facilities Sadly majority of children in Afg lack these basic facilities

A society is incomplete with the girls education. We need girls to be educated so they can serve their community and take part in developing the society. Please open girls schools #PenPathGirlsEduCampaign #PenPathNangarhar #PenPathVolunteers

It may feel like they broke you. But nothing in your external environment has that power unless you allow it. Your system has evolved to withstand psychological pain. Go within and ground your being. 💕

Take time for REST. We need rest & recovery. Types: -mental (meditation, silence) -physical (walk, hike, yoga) -emotional (cry, journal) -sensory (massage, limit electronics) -creative (art, write, read) -social (reach out to a listener) -spiritual (affirmations, gratitude) ❤️

When one begins to take steps to protect themselves, cultivate boundaries & distance from toxic energies, it can feel exhausting. You’ve been in fight or flight survival mode for so long, it takes time for your system to regulate to a healthy baseline. Be gentle w yourself. ❤️

It’s difficult for us to let go of suffering. It’s familiar & predictable. Your brain will keep you in this default setting only if you allow it. This is where you must override the system to reprogram the circuitry because you deserve better. You deserve to heal in the now. ❤️

Your sense of reality is based on the workings of the mind. Allowing the mind to run a steady stream of negative thoughts creates a default setting that sees the world & the people in it as inherently bad. Release all thoughts, clear the mind & breathe. That is true nirvana. ❤️

Sleep is a vital component to changing your mindset & living a more meaningful life. So tap into the brain’s circuitry during those precious 8 hrs by saying out loud before bed every night what you want it to hear. Say: I am loved, happy, blessed, grateful, calm & motivated ❤️

When the environment is focused on complete compliance & control, the brain goes into a state of hyper-vigilance, pumping stress hormones into the body breaking it down You can either choose this slow painful death or take control of your path by beginning the inner work now ❤️

Stop chasing the person, money, beauty, youth, power, fame, etc. Instead ground your being in the present focusing on: -deep rest -new learning -healthier lifestyle choices -meaningful social connections -inner peace -solitude -deeper conversations -movement -nature & light ❤️

In order to heal, you have to believe you possess the capacity to heal. This can be hard when you’ve been conditioned to believe you’re not worth much. To find the stillness & silence within an environment that is suffocating will be the greatest challenge you must overcome. ❤️

You can’t control anything but your own behavior. Once you realize that, you’re free. Instead of focusing on the negative, ground your being. Practice daily healthy habits: -sleep -exercise -eat healthy -connection -deep breathing -gratitude -nature immersion #mentalhealth ❤️

You have to take the time to heal from what hurt you. Or else you’ll continue gravitating toward the same people & patterns that will harm you. This is because the brain welcomes in the familiar. But you can teach it to begin recognizing love & safety Deep breaths & smiles! ❤️
