Habitable Mindset

Often times the challenges of life can become overwhelming or too stressful resulting in a inhabitable mindset. A mind that is so caught up in the negatives in life, a mind that doesn't think you are worthy, a mind that won't let you focus on bettering yourself because you still have a lot to learn on healthier habits. This space is to offer some help to everyone and hopefully help you in creating that habitable mindset.

Half of life is lost in charming others. The other half is lost in going through anxieties caused by others. Leave this play, you have played enough!

Biggest Supporter

We have grown too comfortable in becoming our ‘own worst critic’. Beating ourselves up about the littlest things, ignoring our emotions for the sake of others, allowing negative thoughts to deeply affect us and not valuing our worth. Why have we grown so comfortable to this? Is it because it comes from a familiar place, a familiar voice? We all know that voice very well, as Don Miguel Ruiz calls it the parasite. “ The Parasite is a garbage eater. It loves fear and drama; it loves anger, jealousy, and envy; it loves any emotion that makes you suffer.” The human mind has become sick with a parasite, it’s the same parasite we allow to feed off us and in such a way that it causes our mind to become inhabitable. Pushing away any happy or positive thought because that’s not what it feeds on. Why have we allowed it to form such a strong bond with us? This is not a question to blame because it is not you or your fault. This is a question to help us better understand our relationship with our parasite and to find another relationship within us to build. The supporter, if we have the power to become our worst critic than we have the power to become our biggest supporter. Everyone has the ability to become their own supporter but it’s up to you to find that within yourself. I, for example, have found my own supporter within the words I speak and write. The words I use to help the people I care about are what make me realize that if I can help others and help them feel better then I can do that for myself. The words I use in writing fuel a powerful feeling of pride within me and it causes me to admire myself. You can find your supporter too. Think about what makes you feel pride for yourself, what makes you think ‘shit I’m awesome as hell’, what aspects of yourself do you think about and it puts a smile on your face? Remember to approach this with care. You’re not looking for flaws, mistakes or the things you wish you could change but rather admiring the things you take for granted within yourself. We are all much stronger than we think we are. We deserve to give ourselves a better life filled with joy and self-love and compassion. I hope my writing has inspired you to find your own supporter. I will continue to write on more helpful topics, feel free to message me with any questions or even topic ideas. 

Much love. -Kim
