When we are wounded, our pain can become blanketed in shame and guilt. And shame and guilt can convince us that we are not worthy to heal our pain, or to be honest about our pain.
And in our efforts to keep our pain invisible, we do everything we can to create this image that everything is okay, that we are okay, and that life is fine. We cover our pain with perfectionism, and overcommitment. We do these things so we can feel worthy and valuable. We believe that as long as the pain isn't addressed, then our importance remains.
How much longer can we attempt to keep our pain invisible? How much more energy do we have to keep up the facade? The answer: not very long. The pain will make itself known somehow.
So why not make the invisible, visible. Can you give your pain permission to heal? There is hope, and you are worthy.

Anxiety can paralyze us and keep us from getting to where we desire to be. Here's what we can know and understand:
Anxiety is an emotion, and emotions are experienced on a temporary basis.
Emotions fluctuate in intensity and can become more tolerable.
Our tolerance can grow through mindfulness and exposure.
Mindfulness and exposure is a process and you are worth seeing that process through to your destination.
Your life is worth living, and your destination is worth the process. Lets journey together. ❤️

You are worthy of healing, light, love and peace ✌️ . .
"Forgiveness, which takes you back to the person you were and lets you reset them. Hope, which exists in a future in which you are new. Forgiveness and hope are miracles. They let you change your life. They are time-travel."

Communication is one of the most common hurdles in relationship conflicts.
Empathy comes when we listen to understand, rather than listening to respond.
Understanding does not take away the value of your perspective and emotions, rather it connects the perspectives and emotions of all.
Empathy is inclusive.
Empathy is a pathway to peace.
