Never Lose Hope 💛
Hope rests in the heart.
When I lose hope, I feel it deeply — my heart grows heavy, my spirit feels disconnected, and sadness lingers. This is unlike me, as I’ve always looked at life through rose-colored glasses. I’ve always found the good in people, in challenges, in the smallest of moments. But over the past few years, life has felt harder. The world carries many pains and struggles, and at times, I’ve carried them all in my own heart.
From a young age, I learned that self-care rituals could guide me back to balance. Through daily practices of meditation, yoga, and the wisdom of ancient teachings, I return to my center. Little by little, I rediscover hope — hope in myself, hope in others, hope in life, and hope in the world.
Hope is never truly gone. It lies deep within us, waiting for us to pause and listen. No matter how messy the outside world (or our inner world) may feel, we can always return to that stillness.
✨ Take a few minutes today to sit in stillness.
If you can, go outside. Listen to the birds. If you’re in the city, allow the background noise to fade, and tune into their song. Birds are remarkable mentors in presence and resilience.
Try repeating this mantra for 10–15 minutes:
Inhale: “I am”
Exhale: “Peace.”
Feel your breath slow down. Notice how calm rises within. Let these words flow through you:
I am peace.
I am calm.
I am love.
I am hope.
Keep your heart open to love and hope.
Remember: you are hope. Believe. Trust.
Much Love,
Lindsay 🌷
