A lesson I’ve been learning:⁠
⁠
Recently, I had a bit of an emotional experience. Something that someone in my family said to me hurt me very much. It came as a bit of a surprise and threw me off from my schedule.⁠
⁠
The thing is, I was experiencing such a high. After a huge completion of getting everything out of the house, and selling it and the house, I felt a lot of the stress lift away. I had a good two weeks where my energy was high and I was observing my manifestations unfold right in front of me; it had me feeling really good.⁠
⁠
But then, I voiced to my family that I didn’t want to have kids, and to my surprise, I got some backlash. The comments were uncalled for and hurtful to me, and all I wanted to do was to move on with my life. I had been experiencing this high frequency and I just wanted to carry out feeling elevated.⁠
⁠
Part of my daily practice to elevate my energy is positive affirmations. I listen to them daily and am very intentional with inputting positive language.⁠
⁠
At this time, where I wasn’t feeling such a high frequency, I was feeling rather low. I knew it was important to honor that state of being. I struggle with avoiding feelings of lowness, and I can be quite toxic to myself, trying to shut out the low feelings with something more positive. And although I tried as usual, I decided to do something different.⁠
⁠
As part of my growing journey, I knew the best thing I could do in the moment is to process what I was feeling. This didn’t happen right away; it took about two days, but in that moment, I knew I had to let go of any expectations I had for the day and focus on feeling what I needed to feel.⁠
⁠
Taking the time I needed for myself has previously been so difficult for me. So, I’m actually really proud of myself for being able to recognize that I need to slow down and process. Previously, this would not have been done with such intention.⁠
⁠
If you’re currently wrestling with some thoughts and emotions, maybe the best thing to do is slow down and allow those emotions to come up. I know when I did, I was quickly able to bounce back into my daily life.

Life update. ⁠
⁠
It sure has been a minute since I've shared my personal life with you all. ⁠
⁠
I am so thankful to you for following my life journey as I aim to bring breath to the everyday person. ⁠
⁠
2023 has been a great year. And you know what, I deserve it. ⁠✨
⁠
After a difficult last few years, I feel like I have finally created a life filled with content and joy. ⁠
⁠
I feel like I have found myself. The hardship over the last few years paved two roads for me. One where I can self-destruct in old destructive habits or a new path, where I could put in the work (which was hard) and come up with new results I hadn't experienced before. ⁠
⁠
I'm so proud of myself for choosing the new road, filled with challenges and growth. If it weren't for overcoming these experiences, I wouldn't have been able to find the joy and contentment I feel today.⁠ 🌟
⁠
I truly believe doing the inner work is where happiness arises. ⁠🌱
⁠
To anyone feeling stuck, unhappy, or like they need change but don’t know what, start focusing on yourself.

It took me 3 years to get to this place of contentment, and it was worth unravelling my emotions and experiences to get here.

And the journey isn’t over. The journey never ends. I’ve learned to lean into and enjoy the journey as it comes.
⁠
Thank you again for being part of my journey, I look forward to sharing more of my life lessons with you. 🫶🏻

How I went from Panic Attacks to complete control of my thoughts 💭

I was in the middle of watching a movie when the main character died. This was at the beginning of the pandemic, and the stress of being cooped up at home and the uncertainty was really getting to me. As the character died, I felt genuine sadness, which quickly transitioned into a panic attack.

It wasn’t my first panic attack, but it was the first time I experienced it for no definitive reason. I was just stressed and anxious, and the death of the character dying pushed me over the brim. It was soon I decided to seek help managing my stress and anxiety, for some reason, something I feared doing.

Getting started was easier said than done. At first, I struggled. I didn’t understand what to think about and how to turn my mind off. I didn’t even know how to breathe properly! But I was desperate for change. My body and mind were completely in overdrive, and I was determined to keep trying.

What gave me success was removing any pressure of how long I was supposed to meditate for. Instead, I let myself breathe and be still, and if I felt bored, I would instantly stop. At first, I could only do a minute, but before I knew it, I was easily doing up to 10 minutes.

It wasn’t until after a few months I realized how much more at peace I was in my day-to-day life. There was this enlightened feeling like this weight had been lifted off me. Although I still struggled with stress and anxiety, there was a sense of peace I had never had before.

I found more joy in the things I did. And I learn to love my life. It was only then that I realized that I was previously living in this numb state of mind. I don’t think I ever experienced a real joy (synonym) until then.

Now breathwork/ meditation are part of my daily practice. There isn’t any specific meditation that I do over another, I do what feels right for me in that moment. And after two years of consistently meditating, I am still noticing change within myself. I look forward to new opportunities coming my way through finding deeper alignment within myself. ✨

Did you know our minds constantly operate from an unconscious state of mind?

It shows our brain saves energy. Thinking from a conscious state of mind takes energy. ⚡️

Think about when you 🚘 or take 🚃. Do you remember the route? Most likely not, especially if it’s a route you take often.

This subconscious navigation isn’t limited to physical movements alone. It extends to various facets of our daily lives, influencing our choices, reactions, and perceptions. This orchestration behind the scenes ensures that we can efficiently manage our routines while reserving our cognitive reserves for moments requiring our active presence.

However, it also means that our thoughts and behaviour stem from this unconscious state of mind.

To change your thought or behaviour, you must first cultivate consciousness awareness. Through consciousness awareness, you begin to recognize patterns, triggers, and other insights, and you can start making a shift.

Here’s a quick 1 minute practice you can add to your daily life to start cultivating conscious awareness. 🧠

Hey! I've been there! ⁠
⁠
I constantly to strive for excellence and hold myself to high standards, and what I've learned? Being too hard on yourself is detrimental to your mental health. ⁠
⁠
Constantly criticizing yourself, focusing on perceived shortcomings, and setting unrealistic expectations can lead to feelings of anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. ⁠
⁠
Thought is POWER. What you think of magnifies in your life. ⁠
⁠
So having thoughts of "not doing enough, not being enough" is actually doing more harm then good. ⁠
⁠
Be kind and compassionate to yourself. Acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses, and set realistic goals. ⁠
