There seems to be a spiral within me, a churning with choppy seas and wild breezes that leave me dizzy even as I am grounded. We all have these phases, sometimes they are unseen until after they have passed. I have made my method of gathering the words for 5 things become a process of slow listening, hearing, knowing. I’m seeing how inside the churning there is chaos as well as stillness. These 5 things come from the churning and the eye of the storm.
Most times, the need for validation is to supplement the lack of self-love. Like buttons will never fill the hole, only self-awareness will.
Life isn’t always asking for me to let go (when it’s hard), it’s asking for me to hold on tighter and use the muscles of trust and faith to lean in and go deeper.
What if letting go was not about loss- but an opening up to something more? Something more in alignment with the phase of life awaiting me, or closer to my true desires?
There is a fine line between holding on when it’s hard and letting go because it’s hard in the unproductive way.
If you have to stand upon a mountain top to proclaim your worth, you are no longer worthy- unless it’s your personal mountain and your proclamation is to yourself. (see #1 on self-love)
