Sometimes we are own worst enemy. Now turn that on its head. Start becoming your own best friend ✨ • And how do you treat your best friend? You love them 💌, hear them out intently, offer a shoulder and sometimes laugh out loud with them about some nonsense that worried you last week. • Do that with yourself and watch what happens. 🌱 #rumi #rumiknows #selflove #selfcompassion #mindfulness #mindfulmoment #makessense

Talking about feelings of vulnerability isn't a sign of weakness. It is an important stage of your self-awareness and resilience. 💪 Find someone who has earned the right to hear your story. Then share. Reach out to be heard. Reach out to someone who hasn't been heard in a while. 🍃 #feelings #vulnerability #strength #selfawareness #mindfulness #reachout

“Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.” ~ Ramana Maharshi . When you're going through a difficult time, or growing/learning/changing, REMEMBER that you are also getting stronger and wiser. Your light will shine out, and this gives others permission to do the same. Don't underestimate the impact of your life, no matter how small. . The light may be either dim or bright, depending on our human path, on how the day is going. . Nonetheless, keep going, keep growing and keep shining. #ramanamaharshi #transformation #change #yourself #light #life #world #awareness #selfawareness #mindful #mindfulness #quote #quotes #quotestoliveby #qotd . photo credit: joshbootphotography.com

The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice. ~ Peggy O'Mara . Life is challenging and a non-stop rat race most of the time, so it's not easy to remain calm and understanding with kids sometimes. They depend on us. They constantly test our boundaries. That's how they grow and find their own identity and place in the world. Let's all keep this in mind. . So there's no need for guilt or regret about what we have said in the past. Doesn't help right now. You're doing the best you can. . But TODAY, we can keep in mind to talk to our children in a way we'd want them to talk to themselves. To nurture their inner voice. . #children #voice #talk #innervoice #life . #parenting, #supporting and #teaching kids is not a walk in the park. But there are several beautiful moments too :) Sending strength and love to all parent/s, relatives, teachers and anyone else guiding children out there 🙏

Your worst enemy cannot harm you as much as your own unguarded thoughts. ~ Buddha . A question I received: "Why is it so hard to stop thinking? I keep having similar thoughts over n over. My head's going to explode. What can I do?" . I used to spend days&weeks in pain/worry about some repetitive thoughts/fears. The days&weeks have turned to a few hours or to a few moments. . We can't stop the mind from doing its job: thinking. Not for a long time. The GOOD news is: You can observe your thoughts without getting sucked into its story every single time. . So we CAN master the mind. It just takes practice. Otherwise, it will master you. . A few tips: 1️⃣ Take some time for yourself to recharge. It can be an hour a day or once a week. If you're burnt out it won't help. 2️⃣ Meditate. Go in nature or by the sea. Find places where you can truly relax. 3️⃣ Find a support group or better yet explore therapy. Depending on where you're on your journey atm. Do what feels right for you. 4️⃣ Share your struggles with someone you can trust. . 🔥 And TRUST only those who have EARNED the RIGHT to hear your story. Those who UPLIFT you. . #buddha #thoughts #mind #master #mindset #trust #meditation #mindful #mindfulness #support #selfcare #selfawareness #quote #quotes #quotestoliveby

🌻 "Do not entertain any notions that you are in trouble. Be kind to yourself. Open to your Heart and simply Be." ~ Papaji (Mooji's teacher) . This really hits home. We're constantly judging ourselves for the bad and not taking stock of the good. We ask ourselves: 'Why did I do this again? How can there be no trouble? Why is this happening to me? Am I going to keep doing this over n over?' With time and mistakes I'm learning more and more that everything that is happening in our life has a purpose. 🔃 It can be an opportunity to grow, to forgive, to let go, or let be and flow. • Or it can become a missed opportunity which will come back again in the form of another challenge until you (& I) learn the lesson. 📖 Let your heart gently crack open and guide you to self-kindness. Let it guide to the lesson and the change you've wanted so much for so long. Yes it will be uncomfortable. 🐣 Yes it will be painful. Yes it will take time for the waves to calm down. Sometimes a lot. And Yes too, this will then guide you to being more in tune with what you 'really' want. Your highest good. ~ Sorry about the discomfort and pain. I didn't make the rules of this universe. Look at nature and you will see the same thing unfolding. 🏞️ All I can tell you is that you are not alone in this pain of change. I am with you too, and I am like you. A human. We are all a work in progress. Stay in silence when you can. Pause. Reflect. Give yourself love and forgiveness. You're worth it my friend. 🍀 #papaji #mooji #kind #kindness #beyourself #heart #open #be #purpose #life #live #lesson #time #change #purpose #forgive #love #home #judge #good #bad #challenge #opportunity #grow #growth #mind #mindset #mindful #mindfulness #selfawareness #awareness #selfcare #human #quote #quotes #quotestoliveby #qotd #totd

"Never let the opinions of others become the measure of your self worth." 🔥 This happens to the best of us. Myself included. Many times. Remember: If you're always relying on other's people's opinions, you are seeking approval in them. Not in who matters the most, You. ~ Trust your own gut, your own self. Listen to both your heart and mind. See what's best for your well-being and your growth at this moment in time. 🍃 Whatever you do, however it pans out, it will be an experience. ~ Stop following someone else's path.

#repost from @soozieak 🙌 . "As I continue to practice trust in what life has in store for me, “it coming together”, it happens in the most mysterious of ways.  As I stay aligned with my heart's intentions for living my higher purpose, how it unfolds is unknown.  . This space can seem scary, as the natural human tendency is to try to control everything. This space seems risky because it can feel like you are taking risks.  Trust is knowing that no matter what the outcome is, it will be ok.  It will be better than ok, because you are claiming that it is so, no matter what. . We hear that all the time To embody the concept takes practice.  May the force of Trust be with you." . #patience #trust #life #liveyourlife #heart #alignment #purpose #space #itsok #practice #quotestoliveby #quotes #quote #qotd #totd #mindfulmoment #mindfulness

. Reflect clearly what comes up in you when you meet certain people. Which persons do you want to keep in your life? Which ones are you giving importance to? Which ones are you investing time and energy into? . Which ones can you let go of? Which ones you cannot let go of, but can start/continue one step/boundary at a time? Which ones are supporting you? Which ones are dragging you down? . Notice the difference. Let's choose wisely. . #repost #notetoself #people #repeat #cycle #guide #guides #notice #difference #different #mindfulness #selfawareness #aware #quotestoliveby #quotes #quote #qotd #totd

Self-love is more than basking in your light. Self-love is identifying where you're fucking up, being accountable for it, and correcting it. . @meditative minds #repost Inspired by (you know who you are). . #loveyourself #therightway #selflove #light #life #responsibility #accountability #mindfulmoment #mindfulness #awareness #selfawareness #quotestoliveby #quotes #quote #qotd #tots
