Are you (dis)connected?

We feel lost when we’re disconnected. From our body, from our essence, from who we really are. Disconnection makes us ill. Mentally, physically, both together.

Disconnection comes from separating ourselves from who we really are, from what we feel is good for us, from what we desire, from the way we express ourselves authentically.

Disconnection from oneself can lead to self harm through substances, all the way down to suicide.

Does this sound scary to you? Have you been there? Have you been afraid to accept, confront and share that you need help? Have you asked for the help? Have you tried to end it all?

Or are you still thinking you can manage the pressure, you can handle the situation, that it’s not too bad as there are worse things in life?

What is worse than the hopeless than one thinking that ending their life is the best or only way out?

You are strong and you can go through all the challenges life throws at you. But you’re also entitled to ask for help and receive it. You’re also supposed to rest, recharge, accept or deny what is good for you and what is not anymore.

You ARE supposed to put yourself first.

Life is too precious to be wasted living outside of your true Self.

You could never guess, so don’t

You can never know how things will turn, twist, switch around in order to get you where you are meant to go. So leave the controlling and enjoy then ride.

You don’t need to know how you’ll get there, you just have to know where you want to go. The how is out of your human reach.

Don’t take it personal and don’t try to manage it. The Universe knows how to get you what you want, you just focus on the final aim.

If we let ourselves enjoy the ride, the flow and all the work the Universe arranges for us, for sure we’ll leave an easier, more aligned stress-less life.

So, can we try?

How much is enough?

How high is your tolerance threshold? Do you give up easily? Or can resist the tension for way too long than needed?

Life is a balance, they say. Duality is in all. This includes saying more “yes” to receiving more of what you want, and asking for help when you need to.

We, many women included here, often feel unworthy accepting goods, and push through pain for way too long. Yes, you can live with less, and yes, you’re stronger to go through every challenge life throws at you, but is it really necessary to be always on the edge?

I’m guilty for both and more. Working on my own basket full of patterns, some longer than 100 years back. It’s not a smooth sail, but I rather sort as much as I can while still here.

Have you noticed your patterns? Or are you constantly ignoring them?

You have the right to live a balanced life. It starts with the conscious decision - say more YES to what’s enriching you, and more NO to what’s depriving you.

Change the viewpoint

What if the changes that we first take with anxiety and denial are actually supposed to be taken with excitement instead?

What if the question is not “why is this happening to me?”, but instead “I’m excited to see where I’m going!”

Fifteen years after I’ve left my family home I’m finally beginning to learn to flow with life and its waves.

Lately is very popular to talk about manifesting, to understand how to do it best. Yet when things starts to change, because it doesn’t look like we thought it would, we start resisting the flow.

Why? Wasn’t this what you wanted? Does it matter how you get there if you get what you wanted at the end?

We’re not those who manage the Universe. She knows better. All that is required from us is to let ourselves flow with it. Because regardless of our opinion, life will continue its sacred movement.

Don’t asume

You don’t know what others are going through, unnoticeable carrying their pain.

Don’t assume. Don’t guess. Maybe it’s better if you don’t know. It’s none of your business. Be gentle.

We’re harsh to the different. To the neglected. We’re jealous of those in a better social state, but for neither of them we know the story behind their scars.

Don’t make assumptions, says the Third Agreement. You know how often you got it wrong.
