3 Reminders About Healing Generational Trauma ❤️.

06/02/2022

I can remember moments when I allowed myself to remain stuck in a past situation and by doing so, I kept perpetuating all of the unwanted feelings associated with that past experience. However, life continued to move even if I chose not to. I had to make a conscious choice to get unstuck and get back in the flow of life.

The best key to getting unstuck that I have found is giving yourself permission to be in the present moment. It's in the present where we can encounter that joy, peace, love, healing, and whatever else it is that we need. We dont have to wait weeks or months to experience them. We can choose to make a conscious choice to experience them NOW. The past nor the future exist in the present. All we have is now.

Don't let the pains of the past or the worries about the future prevent your from enjoying the fullness of life in the NOW. Choose to be present.

Posted • Stop trying to force yourself into boxes that you were never meant to fit in ✋

You can push yourself and try new things but don’t forget to also give yourself permission to be human - to make mistakes, to have big feelings, to take care of yourself.

Only you know what you really need, and what feels right for you. Trust that 💗

This hits so differently for me in this season of life I'm in. Some people may think you're trying to outshine them when really you're just trying to shine with them! But they don't even recognize their own light so they slowly try to dim yours. Glow by any means necessary!
