It has been 1 year since I have posted on here, I didn’t know if my thoughts were worth sharing. Each day I heal, I realize I can take up space & I hope you remember you can too. 💕

To the fear of being seen or misunderstood:

People can only see what they know. Many just need time to warm up to the truth of who others are.

The more that’s shared, the more opportunity there is to gain a new perspective & understanding for everyone.

Seeing someone or something outside of assumptions or first impressions. Facing the fear of the unknown.

What a courageous, beautiful thing.

There could be value in what someone says over the way they say it

A lesson to truly hear what was said before placing judgment and for the speaker to take into account how they are speaking

Enjoy the present moment 🌞

You can only receive in the now, your thoughts, epiphanies, emotions, our senses, opportunities are all things we receive in the present moment

In the present moment we think about the future or past because there is wisdom there, but when we think freely while observing the thoughts that come, this leads to inspired action

While the process of thinking itself is more confined and can lead to procrastination, rigid planning or overwhelm

[thedailylotus]

Affirmation for reprogramming unconstructive beliefs:

I am not my thoughts, past or present, I am the observer of them

[thedailylotus]

This is your sign to start doing the thing you always think about & not expect to be good at it right away.

Affirmation: I strive for progress, not perfection 🌿

I love how raw tumblr is

[thedailylotus]

I forgive myself for the bad decisions I made when I didn’t know better

Because I know better now

[thedailylotus]

You don’t need to figure it out before you start. Just start and you’ll instantly feel better than before you began. The growth you’re planning for comes as you go.

“What changed?”

I realized I got bitter, & got better.

Lesson: no one has the right to tell you that you can’t feel the way you do, but how you treat yourself, your life, & others afterwards is your responsibility.

Their happiness isn’t your responsibility, but we all have a responsibility to ourselves to maintain our own. How this directly or indirectly affects others is an awareness.

Perspective shift: It’s going to be a good day because I look forward to improving & experiencing -blank-
