I don’t think anyone truly realizes how powerful it is to accept compliments. To allow the good feedback to sink in, without automatically following it with a mental note on how that’ll soon change when others get closer, and see clearer. Without questioning if you deserve this love you’ve been gifted, before you could do […]

“You must love the thing you want to change.” – Carl Jung I heard this quote today, and it felt like an answer to so many questions I’ve been having lately. Precisely ones related to why I feel stuck on certain areas of my life, and why my awareness still isn’t allowing me to fix […]

I keep noticing my deep urge to “unsee” so many of the things I’ve been finding out about myself lately. Not just ignore them, but really undo ever having come across them. Or ever having given them the space to further expand and demand more attention. Yet, every time I allow myself to look closely…to […]

Lately, I realized I only tend to allow myself to explore when I’m lost. When I’m unable to find certainty, and I’m kind of ‘forced’ to explore, so I could figure out what else to do or where else to go. And it’s usually one of the most interesting phases, because it allows me to […]

Everyone’s going through something. Everyone has their days. Not knowing all about what someone is going through, doesn’t automatically mean they’re okay.

It’s okay to fall back into old patterns; it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. That’s a lesson I keep learning almost every year, and so I feel the need to constantly remind myself of it. This journey, of working on myself, is a never-ending one. There will hardly come a time when I wake up and […]

I honestly admire how my technological devices don’t care when I’m in the middle of something important, that they just totally decide to shut down the minute they’re out of energy. Reminds me of how I never do that with my own self, because my mind, heart and body don’t necessarily breakdown as instantly. And […]

I know it might not seem like it on most days, but there’s so much beyond what you’re currently going through, that will slowly but surely unfold. I know that on some days your insides can literally dry up from all the tears you shed, that you often wonder if you’ll ever be able to […]

“Achievements” so often turn out to have very little to do with how well we do on things, and more with how much we actually put into trying to bring them into life. Yet we still tend to beat ourselves up every time the tiny details don’t match how things were supposed to happen inside […]
