Thank yourself for being you. Often, we are so overly outer-focused that we miss the miracle of our own existence. You are here to discover and enjoy who you really are.
The more you appreciate yourself, the easier it is to feel and follow your heart’s wisdom. Your heart is your greatest navigational tool for life.
Are you at peace with who you are?
You can only ever be you, no matter how much you sometimes wish that weren’t the case.
One of the barriers to appreciating yourself is self judgment. When you judge yourself, you lose precious moments and turn down dead end roads. Self judgment is a habit, stuck in old neural pathways formed from past, painful events.
The season of the light is here. At the darkest time of the year, I think of the quote, “It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness.” It’s been a tumultuous year in the world. Maybe you are experiencing personal challenges too, or perhaps things are going well for you right now. Whatever is happening, we have a choice to turn our minds to the dark view or find and follow what lights us up.
Each year rolls into a whirlwind of light, dark, joy (for some) and overwhelm in the final month of December. Practice self care during the holidays and remember to love yourself. It’s so easy to get blown away from your wise center by the surge of activity pulling you in a myriad of directions at this time of year.
Do you sometimes feel lost inside your own life? Almost like being swept away by a river’s current, beyond your control? Maybe you’re feeling the challenges of change and transition, where life doesn’t seem the same anymore. You wonder what happened to the magic in life.
