It is in giving that we receive, without any expectations, more than we could ever have imagined

Here is to showing who we truly are, warts and all. The concept of being know means we exist in another. In order to be able to do this we have to show ourselves, allow ourselves to be seen. Easier said than done, especially when shame asks us to hide ourselves. Hide who we are, our past or things about ourselves we might like to keep from others in fear of judgment, our dirty dark secrets. But here is the thing…ultimately we want to be known…seen, heard and understood and the only way to do that is to show and be who we genuinely are and do the opposite of hiding by coming into the light and letting others see who we are.

Ahhhh time & patience! Time we can do nothing about… it will run its course and there is no way we can speed it up or slow it down. But patience we can practice. Patience for situations, other people and above all ourselves 🙏🏻 Things take time and with a little practice we can even learn to enjoy the passing of that time and notice the progress we are making, taking our eye off the end game, focusing on where we are at in the moment and perhaps even how far we have come 🙏🏻

Why is this quote so powerful? Because it highlights the only thing that is truly within our control and that is our actions. It’s all to easy to use power on others and to think that they are to blame or that they need to change, but ultimately, the way that we interact with the world is our only true strength. The super power is how we decide to show up in each moment 🙏🏻

It’s doing, taking action that counts when it comes to living out a value of love. Yet how exactly do we practice faith? The same way, by having trust… letting go, handing things over, releasing the outcome to something bigger than ourselves and knowing that there is a wisdom that is wider than our most wildest dreams that knows exactly what is for us will not pass us by, we have to believe and then take deliberate steps to follow that quiet guidance 🙏🏻

Make the NOW the primary focus of your life 🙏🏻 being fully present in the moment, mindful, in touch with reality is where it is at. This state allows us not to resist or fight with the world and the moment as it arises, but to be present - parking our ego, our thoughts, our judgments and the way we think things should be. Being present, allows us to better connect with ourselves and each other. It brings us to a place of pure consciousness where the magic happens, where we feel at one with ourselves, whole, connected to the universe and everyone and everything… it is where the secret to peace and love lies

Today is mental health awareness day and this quote speaks in my opinion to the root cause of many MH issues... as humans I think we’ve become experts in how to escape emotion, and difficult situations and conversations and do our best not to feel, avoid.. perhaps we’re not even aware that this is what we’re doing... or we’re not sure what the alternative looks like... but what is repressed screams to be expressed eventually... and often in the form of what we call mental health issues... so my hope for today’s awareness day is to take it one step further, into action...that myself and all those who have ever struggled or find it hard to deal with the pain, are able to lean towards instead of away from discomfort, by noticing it, nurturing it and giving it the voice it’s asking for... helping yourself heal...however that might look like it’s up to you

People often ask me how therapy works and here is a good little video that explains it well!

Psychotherapy holds out the promise of being able to help us with many of the problems that ruin our lives: anxiety, self-hatred, shame and confusion... But ...

Life is hard enough as it is... and when we shame ourselves or others we make it even harder for us to accept that we are all different and unique and perfectly imperfect... we are all wonderfully human and I guess feeling shameful at times is part of that too, no matter how uncomfortable that emotion and others can be
