When negativity is running the show it is a sign we are not in our right self.

Use it as a red flag to remind you to step back into your observer; to shine your awareness around inside you to see which part of you is on the stage in that moment.

There is nothing wrong with expressing things we aren’t happy with, this is part of the normal good and bad flow of life.

But when we indulge negativity or are in a way attached to it as a way of knowing ourselves and we feed off it, or it is a thought pattern we are in a way addicted to, this is where we need to wake up.

Discernment is a key life learning for empathic souls.

What is good for me and what is taking too much of a toll?

Am I to learn more patience, acceptance and tolerance or am I to stand up for what is right for me?

We need to realise (often through trying the hard way) that putting ourselves last doesn’t serve anyone.

Sometimes people take things the wrong way.
They hear what is said through the filter of their fears and insecurities.

Rather than actually listening to you, they are listening to their own belief systems.

We need to take care and responsibility and be respectful with our communication, and yet it is also important to know when it is not your fault.

When we know it’s not ours to fix or defend, we can often be more present and clear with our response.

Keep it real.
Keep it simple.
Don’t over think things.
It is what it is.
Allow your intuition to speak to you.
Trust in your higher knowing.
Be kind, inside and out.
Simplicity is the highest teacher.

You don’t have to get things right all the time. You’re allowed to be human and imperfect and learning all along the way.

There are levels within acceptance. There are levels within our being.

Do you let people in?
What stops you from receiving love and giving your whole heart?

First we must give our whole heart to the truth of letting go. To the journey of recognising our fears and how they hold us back.

A fulfilling life is when we know we have opened ourselves wide to the current of joy and sorrow and sharing and letting go.

We are human for a reason.

When you can let go of the need to understand intellectually, being and listening from the heart becomes more available.

Here there is serenity naturally.

The most powerful tool to manage and reduce anxiety, and all emotions, is your breath.

The quality of your breathing reflects your stress level.

Take a moment (or five/ten/twenty moments) a day to simply pay attention to your breathing.

At first just notice it how your breath is without trying to change it. Keep your attention with it until you notice it shift a little. Then invite it to go deeper down.

I also like to imagine I am breathing in through a hole in my lower belly and out through my nose.

Belly breathing anchors you in the now and into your body. From here emotions can settle and our mind’s pace can be seen and slowed.

Be in the beauty; inside and out.

We can never have enough if we aren’t appreciating what we have.

When we are always looking to the next thing, we miss the enjoyment we seek.

Remember the point in the first place.

Find a healthy balance between being and becoming, resting and expansion.
