There are too many times in life when we fall into the habit of carrying other people’s problems… 😔
other people’s opinions… 💭
fears that have been programmed into us in one way or another… 🧠

And it is absolutely draining… 😮‍💨

It drains us of each and every bit of positive energy we have within ourselves… ⚡

In my experience, it is so very important to learn this… 👇

Number one…
it is okay to give yourself permission to release control over what you cannot impact… 🤍

We cannot control other people’s opinions…
nor can we control other people’s problems…

So it’s time… ⏳
to release what drains us…

Give yourself permission to let go…
and come back to you… 🌿

This is a self-love exercise… 💛

Very quickly, you will experience something…
you will feel lighter… ☁️

Because the way we think affects the way we feel…
and ultimately the way we behave…

There is no right or wrong…

Just for now…
allow yourself to be who you really want to be…
to be what feels right…
who feels right… for you… ✨

Of course… it’s a learning curve…

Again and again…
you will fall into the same trap…
wanting to handle other people’s drama…
their life story…
their opinion of you… 😣

And yes…
it’s only a matter of time before you drain yourself again…

So come back… 🤍

Come back to what feels right to you…
again and again… again and again…

Until it becomes a habit… 🔁

You need to do something around 60 times for it to become a habit…

Bye-bye for now… V🦋✨

We agreed with a client today to share this little picture 🐢🕸️, just in case it helps to one of us. ✨

I was working with someone who experiences quite strong OCD, and he had made a decision recently that, at the time, felt completely right for him… very conscious, very aware.

But afterwards… his mind just wouldn’t let go.
Looping… looping… looping… 🔄
Telling him it was wrong, that it wasn’t what people would expect, that it wasn’t “acceptable”.

And then of course his body reacted…
Feeling tight… uncomfortable… anxious… almost like he can’t breathe properly. 😣💨

So we went through the unconscious mind. 🧠

No substances, nothing external… just the mind itself…
and we let it show us.

Images, animals, metaphors… whatever wants to come up. 🎨

And this is important… we never interpret for the person.
We always ask: what does it mean to you?

So when we asked for the part of him that chose to turn away and make that decision…
what came up was… a tortoise. 🐢

Now for someone else, that could mean something completely different.
But for him?

Independent…
Self-reliant…
Doing things at his own pace. 🌿

And that was the turning point. ✨

Because right after that, his mind showed him something else…
a spider web. 🕸️

And in it… all these little loops…
“what if”
“not good enough”
“people pleasing”
“past mistakes”

Exactly what was happening in his head. 🧠

And 👀 … just seeing it like that…
as something external… something almost playful, cartoon-like…
it shifted everything. ✨

His body softened. 🌬️

The guilt was still there… a little…
but he knew… he wouldn’t change his decision.

It was right for him. 🫶

And then… something magical happened.

In a split second… literally a nanosecond… ⚡
he did something he hadn’t been able to do before.

He sent a message he had been holding back. 📩

Just like that.

So just bear this in mind…
the unconscious mind is incredibly powerful. 🧠✨

Yes, it can tangle things…
but it can also untangle them…
just as quickly… just as beautifully. 🌿✨

Look… 👀 Look… 👀 Look… 👀

Very often,

Someone says one simple sentence…

and suddenly,
we feel like a child again.

Hurt 💔
defensive
guilty…
or we just want to walk away.

And we wonder…
why am I reacting like this?

Very often,
it’s not the words.

It’s the part of us that was activated.

And just like that…
a loop begins 🔄

And...
..it’s the same everywhere…

It’s not what we do,
it’s why.

It’s not what we eat,
it’s why.

Because in moments like this…
we often move into compulsive behaviours.

We react in old ways.
We go to the fridge.
We try to soothe something we don’t fully see yet…

And then we judge ourselves.

But punishing ourselves,
or putting ourselves behind invisible prison bars… ⛓️
it doesn’t work.

What works is something much simpler… 🌿

to understand
why we do what we do.

Because the moment we truly see it…

it starts to soften.
it starts to collapse.

Trust me, awareness is the key to freedom! ✨

Life has a way of moving quickly… ⏳✨
and somehow… we always find a reason to wait…

“I’m too young…” 🌱
“I have too much going on…” 📦
“I’ll do it later…” ⏰

And later… keeps moving…
and moving…
and moving… ⏳

So just look at it… very gently… 🤍
just very, very gently…

What are you postponing? 👀
What are you procrastinating about?

Because procrastination…
is nothing more… or less… than fear… 🌫️

“I’m scared I will…”

…and finish the sentence.

Just fill the gap… ✍️

And notice…
what happens in your body… 🌿

Because it matters… 🤍

And yes…
there will always be a reason to wait…

But…

There will also always be a reason to begin… ✨

And it doesn’t have to be big…

Just baby steps… 👣

Because life is in that space…
between waiting…
and beginning…

That’s where your life is… 🤍🌿

Not perfect…
just your way… 🙂

And slowly…
you move…

towards a new mindset… ✨
towards the life you really want to experience… 💫

Not the life you’ve been told is acceptable… 🚫
but the one that feels aligned with you… 🤍

There is no right or wrong…

It’s what makes you vibrate… 💫✨

Do not die with your music still in you… 🎶

Stop being the spectator of your life… 👀
Become a verb…

Act… ✨

Act out who you want to be…
what you want to experience… 💫

Sending you a big, big hug 🤍🤍
Bye for now 🦋✨

Life has a way of… moving quickly ⏳

And somehow…
we always find a reason to wait.

“I’m too young…” 🌱
“I have too much going on…” 📦
“I’ll do it later…” ⏰

And later… keeps moving.

So just something to gently look at…

What are you postponing…
that actually matters to you? 🤍

Because the truth is…

There will always be a reason to wait.
And there will always be a reason to begin. ✨

And the space between the two…

That’s where your life is. 🌿

Just something to bear in mind 🦋

Is love enough?

The way I choose to look at it… is from two different boxes.

Simple : )

📦 Box number one
🧠 The head has to admire
🫶 The heart has to open up, and we don’t choose whom the heart opens up to!
🔥 The body has to want the person

And then… we think, “oh marvellous… I’m in love…”

But… that’s not enough.

📦 Box number two, the long-term one

✨ The three V’s
✔️ Validation
✔️ Values
✔️ Vision

Because yes… love can be there…
but long-term… something else is needed.

Just a little video to help us get better clarity along the way…

Just because with clarity you’ll get mind space, and with mind space…

…you’ll often make decisions that are right for YOU! ### 🦋
