When you see others who inspire you, don’t try to become like them. Instead, discover that frequency within yourself and evolve into your own version of that which they are expressing. Your energy signature is the only one of its kind. You are the aspect of creation that you are for a reason, there is no one like you and never will be. Cherish your uniqueness. Trust the timing of your growth cycles.

Interesting #dailycalm #meditation today...the subject was #BeingEnough. And although I get the idea that you can be perfectly happy with a simple life and not being ambitious about the things you go after, there’s another side to that. 💪🏻 In the same way that we need to be aware that ambition for the sake of getting material things doesn’t always lead to happiness, we also need to be aware that ambition can be used to gain other things: like #time. I am perfectly OK with where I am in my life from a status and material things standpoint. I don’t need a whole lot. To be frank, I’ve got more crap in my house that I really need or ever use. On the other hand, I would absolutely love to have more time in my life. A little ambition toward gaining a lifestyle that would allow that increase in personal time would go a long way. ⏰ So let’s put it this way: I don’t necessarily think you shouldn’t be ambitious, but I do think your ambition doesn’t necessarily have to lead to higher status, but bigger promotions, or more stuff. Your ambition can simply be to have a life that is more under your own control and to have more time freedom. 🧘🏼‍♂️ #meditatorsofinstagram #dailypractice #anxietyrelief #meditatedaily #gooddecisions #ambition #timefreedom #goforwhatmakesyouhappy #pursuitofhappiness https://www.instagram.com/mudlifecrisis/p/ByZ4pXbgBiv/?igshid=1nreoh0is3c5v

We all have shame. We all have good and bad, dark and light inside of us. But if we don't come to terms with our shame, our struggles, we start believing that there's something wrong with us - that we're bad, flawed, not good enough - and even worse, we start acting on those beliefs. If we want to fully engage, to be connected, we have to be vulnerable. In order to be vulnerable, we need to develop resilience to shame.

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.

Ep 012 When We Are Enough

Hi, there. Dear You, Wear these words like a badge of honour: You are enough.

[whatismononoaware]

I've been thinking a lot lately about the concept of "doing enough" - something that I am not too familiar with, but I am striving to learn about.

Let me explain. In a society that is forever defined by what we achieve, not who we are or what we stand for, we often feel as if we must always be actively improving just to keep up. We must get another degree. We must get a promotion. We must win a race. We must be perfect mothers and fathers. We must go to countless yoga classes. Furthermore, we must be thin, fit, on time, smart, witty and incredibly good at our jobs.

This would be possible for robots, but for flawed humans, not so much. I believe it keeps us in a constant state of less than and forces us to comparison with the people around us. We compare our insides to their outsides, saying "They have it together - why don't I?" This is self-abuse if the message is spoken internally more than once. If it inspires us out of stuckness in a positive way, then congrats - you are one of the few people on earth that doesn't flagellate yourself for being less than perfect.

In a time like we are currently in not only in the United States but in the world as a whole, I think we feel helpless a lot. I know I do. My heart hurts so much when I see the suffering and terror on the faces of people during major tragedies. When I worked in breaking news it was too much for my heart to take as I am an empathic person. I'd go home from work physically and emotionally exhausted and I hadn't even been at the site of the latest shooting. All I had had to do was tell the story and even that sucked the life out of me.

I will share with all of you the words I now tell to myself every day in an ultimate act of self love. You are enough. For today, you have done enough. It is OK to sit still. In fact, it's more than OK; it gives us essential time to rest, heal, and see within ourselves to hear our own messages. If sitting still right now means feeling tremendous pain, I understand and I offer you all the compassion in the world, because I know. I know all too well. And if you can even sit still and feel it for one minute, you are doing warrior's work. Because the real journey for us is within.

If you feel helpless in the face of tragedy, sit still. Channel compassion for yourself so you can later give it to those who need it most. When your energy is gathered, help where and how you can. Remember that can look like everything from donating money and food to being kind to a stranger who desperately needs it. The opportunities are everywhere if you can cultivate enough inner silence to HEAR and then see them.

Love to you all. <3
