I realized that everything I've ever done, was done to get love. To lose weight - to be attractive and validated. To get a certain job - to impress people and get validation. Looking a certain way. Talking a certain way. And the funny thing is, even when I got that love it still wasn't enough. And I always wanted more. It can't be all there is, right? I've never done anything for myself and don't even know where to start. Any advice?

Be with your self. Take time to sit, feel and to just simply breathe. To just simply be. You truly don’t have ti be a certain way. Try to just be here and alive. Get to the wholeness and the completeness that resides within you, from just being here.

You’ve run into your ego, the part that seeks things out in the world due to fear. Fear of not being loved and fear of not being enough. That part is made by you to protect you and to get you what you need: love. It just isn’t good at getting you it -although it can in small batches- it looks in the wrong direction to actual get you what you need, crave and are. It seeks outward, when it is all inward.

The outward journey of the ego is there to show you, through its un-lasting effectiveness which way to truly go is: inward. This journey outward will always bring up feelings in you and emotions -highs and lows, so you can be finally pulled toward them and be broken down to just feel them and surrender to them. To go inward. And then your fullness and completeness will be evident to you, because it lies just beyond all of this up and down within you.

So just take time to be simple and to simply be. Be here and just breathe and feel. Return your attention to your breathe and to your heart. Feel all that comes to you and let that all run through you. When you are pulled to do those old things and talk a certain way or be a certain way: just feel and just be.

Much Love and I hope this helps,
