Mindful Movement & Nutrition

07/07/2024

One of my colleagues ran a social & emotional wellbeing activity in town the other day.
He asked people, what is a strong man?

I answered in short the first thing that came to mind:
He looks after his whole family, his children and his parents
I thought of My Daddy 💗

But all week it sat on my mind still, and I had to write it out..

My Daddy,
He started out with not much, not even a bicycle as a kid
He’s worked and worked and he still works,
so that I could have a better life than he did

He uprooted his entire life to give me and my brother a better education and more opportunity
He left all his friends and the land he grew up in and started all over
He built a home for us again and again
He sacrificed his needs for ours
He is proud of his culture, religion, ethnicity and roots
He stands up for what he believes in
He endured torments and racism from ignorant folk and he continues to wear his turban proud
How brave

He knows history and politics and business and finance
He gardens and plants trees and trims the branches and weeds
He cooks 🔥 and cleans
He dances so well, he dances a storm, and everyone watches, astounded.. til they start dancing too
He lifts weights and he stretches,
golf and yoga and pilates
He walks by the seaside with our little doggy Roki

He laughs and he jokes sometimes
but more so, he is sensitive, he cries
He feels, everything

And nowadays he acknowledges his struggles
No longer holding it in
He says what’s hard and when he’s not ok
He’s learning to speak about it, to let it out

This is a strong man
My Daddy
❤️

Just a big kid teaching little kids how to eat, breathe and move mindfully.

In a world that teaches us to rush and stay busy all the time,
slow down and feel along the way,
for that is the journey,
and where the beauty in all of life’s experiences can be found.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚?
A combination of words strung together with intentional meaning, repeated and preferably chanted aloud.
Mantras carry energy in the form of vibration and I believe have the power to physically transform our nature; as in the quantum dance that is currently shaking our being into this existence.
Their purpose is to realign by redirecting focus and to bring clarity by literally clearing and cleansing the vibrational field around and within.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐝𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤?
𝑺𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅
Different sounds resonate in different parts of the body and mind and the way we pronounce and utter sounds influences the creation of a particular frequency and resonance.
Syllables themselves vibrate at different frequencies and so tend to resonate wth specific parts of the body.
The combination of letters that form the words as well as their pronunciation, pitch and tone all influence the sound vibration and therefore the working of the mantra.

When we sing aloud, we create sound from within. This vibration travels through our body to the hypothalamus in our brain which then releases chemical hormones that influence our biology, physiology and chemistry.
I also believe that these internally produced vibrations travel through our energy meridians to reach our entire body space and they reverberate with our entire being.

But if you’re not into chanting, that’s okay.
Thankfully you don’t have to be a beautiful singer or learn Sanskrit or even be able to roll your r’s to get the benefits of mantras.

𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏
Words have meaning and carry with them a sort of energy in that way. The very act of thinking and repeating something, can create that exact reality for a person.

When we repeat a mantra it helps to refocus our attention from wherever it was occupied, so, it quietens a noisy mind.
If you find yourself worrying, just like you might be advised to meditate or breathe or go for a run or something, in the same way repeating a mantra is helpful. Our mind cannot be anywhere else when it is repeating mantra. Seriously, it can’t, try it.
As soon as your mind goes elsewhere you will not be speaking and repeating your mantra anymore.
Our mind cannot be in the past or future, only in the present as we repeat our mantra.
By repeating, the mind is in action, in the now.
And as we repeat consciously (aloud or silently), every part of us receives this energy because our cells are always listening [The Biology of Belief, Dr Bruce Lipton].
So, the words contained within our mantra and the meaning behind them is important.

However, it is far more challenging to stay focused in silent repetition so many people use Mala beads to help ground in their sense of touch during their practice.

𝙒𝙝𝙞𝙘𝙝 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝?
All I know is Aum (Om), the vibration of the universe and the resonance of our hearts (per Yoga philosophy from old knowledge, please correct me if I’m wrong).
When you go to a yoga class and they chant Aum, join in and feel the vibration for yourself.
Don’t be embarrassed. No-one will hear you. Just start.
It will bring you out of your head, promise.

Also, Sat Nam is very powerful. Might have to share more on this another time.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠?
If you’re not up for the conscious effort of repeating mantra but you still want the benefits of Sound, experience a Sound Bath and be guided along a mind-body journey through different states of consciousness.
Tune into the frequencies and completely relax as you let the vibrational Hz twirling around, move through your body and mind leading your own inner world into dance too.

⚠️ Cautionary tale though, it’s not always pleasant. Sometimes, we need realignment and this (I believe) is a physical shifting process.
I’ve been for sound healing a number of times but this one time, as she went around the bowl I could see under my eyelids the tracing of circle after circle swirling round and round. And I could feel those same waves oscillating outwards from my centre, spinning through me. Like the shockwave after an explosion but many, and their effect slow moving through me.
It was like everything inside me - the quantum molecules that make me up - was spinning too, round and round, but also bouncing up and down, like at a rave, when you move in ways unthinkable, completely psychedelic, my field disrupted and left different to how it was found. I was sick for 24 hours after.
I put it down to cognitive dissonance; I was in a very strange place in my life, I was living a life totally unaligned with what was good and meant for me. And the vibrations created by that teacher in that class at that time felt straight through me and shook me up.

Similarly, when I have the radio on, sometimes the time the banging and clanging disrupts my own vibrations and makes any existing noise in my mind much much louder. It throws me out of whack and I usually sense this immediately and turn everything off and drive in silence! Hahaha!
Reminds me of when my dad would switch the channel from my tunes and say he couldn’t make out what they were saying or that it was too loud. I get it Dad, I really do nowadays; the disruptions to your internal state.

I’ve learned that I am quite sensitive to sound.

- I’ve learned that big sounds, say coming from a noisy airplane propellor - start position a right angle to me such that the waves are travelling directly outwards to reach me and then Doppler-ing forward from us - is a huge no no.

- I’ve also learned that the more sound around me especially sounds that are incongruent with each other, the less focused I am. I literally feel my thoughts (formed from inside and processed from outside) bouncing around on a set of trampoline drums, each time landing then flying back through the air where all the letters get rearranged into a new thought.

- In the same boat as loving silence and zero distracting vibrations, I’ve been leaning more into soundscapes to slowly begin learning what actually does resonate with me.

- I’ve been trying to get into the habit of playing my Nanni’s recorded mantras in my home every day. It makes me feel close to home, like I’m still there with her, and it is such a strong reminder to stay aligned.
Gayatri Mantra is one I would recommend for all to listen to, you've probably heard it before somewhere in some life time.

Well first, know that anything with a vibration can influence our field of energy. Starting from inside out this includes;
- The beliefs we hold which which manifest into our perceived reality.
- The thoughts that our minds respond to that perception with and the perspective(s) we take
- The words we speak, the tone in which we speak them, and the actions we take or don’t take in response to our thoughts
- Anything we engage with that has a vibration of its own; people, animals, nature; trees, water, earth, rocks, crystals (recent light bulb moment when shown an ad for a crystal that absorbs dark energy 😲); anything made of stardust as we are!
Anything producing sound; the sound of Om, even sounds we can’t hear ourselves our bodies can feel and are affected by in the quantum, anything emitting frequencies; phones, computers, microwaves.
Anything with energy; so basically everything.

Through awareness first; by examining them and understanding where they come from. Then by challenging them, consciously, and instilling new beliefs that serve your highest frequency:
Start to really believe in your worth, potential and deservingness of everything you desire in this worldly realm. Quantum jump to where you want to be via your mind; Visualise the life you want to be living.

Using these metacognitive approaches, begin to understand your current programming, and with conscious awareness of where you want to be, reprogram yourself, literally manifesting and embodying your highest vibration (use your imagination and let it vibrate into life).
A particular kind of Life/Mindset coach can help you with this.

Your thoughts are generally a product of your beliefs. You are not your thoughts, You are the awareness behind them.
Once you become aware of the internal dialogue, you can begin to reframe unhelpful thoughts and shift your perspective repeatedly to reprogram your mind. This takes consistent effort.

I’m going to focus on Sound vibration in the form of mantras in PART 3 since my own understanding of this realm has recently been refined to a point where I actually think I get it.

PART 1
💫💫💫
Just as subatomic particles occupy multiple states or positionings around a central nucleus (only becoming fixed upon observation), so too do WE who are made up of these same tiny particles.
My understanding is that we are walking energy fields whose frequency and vibration is composed of kajillions of tiny energy fields, oscillating outwards from and around the particles that make us up on a quantum, chemical and biological level. The sum of all of these fields create our literal ‘Vibe’.
Our vibe is dynamic and ever-changing though remember? We are not fixed. We are different every day.
Sometime we are high vibration; things are going well for us, we think positively, we feel great, we smile and love, our energy is infectious and it lifts those around us.
Other times things maybe don’t go so well; we are disappointed, frustrated, anxious or angry. We can easily get into ruts of negative thinking, or maybe we surround ourselves with negative people who make us feel heavy; all of this lowers our vibe and in turn influences the field inside us and around.
✨✨✨
And just as each of us human beings are walking, talking, breathing forms of a constantly shifting field of Energy, so too is the Ether through which we move and exist within.
The Ether is a macrocosmic field of Energy that pervades the entire universe. It’s the stuff in between and all through the rest of the stuff.
Scientists of physics, maths and the cosmos have proven that there are gravitational waves PULSING through the universe with frequencies of 1 billionth of a Hz, causing ripples in space-time.
I believe that we are connected to the entire universe in this way.
I have felt it for myself in a recent Tai Chi practice; the shifting, exchanging, reorienting and literal cleansing of my own energy field within the greater vibrational field as I moved my hands with intent through the Ether.
✨✨✨

We know that what we think and believe influences how we perceive reality… And we also know that our perception of reality including what we think and believe can influence our physical body. [𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘣𝘰 𝘦𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘧]
Our thoughts are ever-changing and our perspectives shift and understandings evolve each time we observe them in new and different states. Every day we’re different.

💫💫💫
I believe that with repeating thoughts and energy exchanges, our neural circuitry becomes strengthened and our inner state more fixed; both of which in the quantum world occur via changing patterns in the direction of spin of the subatomic particles that make us up and their resulting orientations at any given time within our physical body.
whOAH Whaaat!?
Yes I just went there!
And in the same way, with physical changes on a quantum level, our mental state, thoughts, perception and therefore experienced reality also transforms.
Look, this part is just wacky theory. I really don’t know anything.
But why I think this is because I’ve experienced -as in felt and seen within my own bodysuit- whirlwinds of energy disrupt, spin and reorientate my inner being, entire perception and overall vibration (on all scales).
These experiences have come through the avenues of sound, breath, human energy exchange and particular substances.
So excuse me; my curious little mind just can’t help but ponder,
There is also much evidence out there to support the power of external vibrations for transforming our bodies in a physical sense. These external vibrations include sound, breath, nature, animals, other stardust creatures and stuff; anything with its own vibrational energy, anything emitting frequencies, so basically everything.
Refer here to Dr Masura Emoto’s experiments on water crystals AND IKEA’s plant bullying experiments.
Maybe even start practising the witchy stuff in your world (inside and out): do your own little experiments and see for yourself that this is real.
✨✨✨
So, while this is all very interesting for some, how is it relevant to us all?

It has been brought to my attention that I used to be a fussy eater.
Ok, fine! I am still quite fussy but I've come a long way my friends.

I used to tense at the thought of eating sandwiches at school in front of anyone... I was terrified of the tomatoes hanging from my mouth... 🤣
My poor mum, she made my sandwiches with so much love and I would not even take them out of my bag at lunch, then I'd forget to throw them away before home time, then I'd stuff them into a box at home until it stank (she checked my bins ok)... then eventually, one day when she'd be out, I'd hold my nose and empty that stank box out.
It was such a mission!
And trust me, I wouldn't have liked the sandwiches without any tomato either ok, that wasn't an option 😅
Mum says I've always been particular.

💚
But I like to think I've become braver.
Eggplant and pickles for example - love them now, couldn't stand growing up.
And look at me willingly posting a picture of me with a giant tomato sticking out of my mouth.. totally super comfortable right now... 🤭🫣🤪

I asked my Mummy why it was that I don’t have food trauma ie. from being force fed or made to finish my plate, and why it is that I've been able to establish a happy and healthy relationship with food...

My options were: roti (bread), rice, vegetable sabji, daal, maybe a meat dish + salad.
These are our staple foods, on offer every single day, except for perhaps on the weekends when we’d go out for Chinese food or karoga or fish&chips.
There was no choice for Mi Goreng or Nutella on bread or anything that wasn't a whole food. So, I was always a rice baby. All I ate was rice and daal (and fruit), and all I drank was milk and water. As I grew older, I adapted slightly... I tried something new... I'd eat the butter chicken curry + rice and I'd leave all the chicken bits on my plate...
My poor dad would be so devo, he's a great cook!

Although I avoided almost entire food groups (meat and vegetables), I was getting plenty of nutrients (carbs, protein, fibre, iron, calcium, vitamins and minerals) from regular intakes of our staple, traditional whole foods.
So we never really had any dramas over it and I was quite happy with exercising my choice and autonomy within the constraints my parents had carefully set up for me.

And it's funny because 𝐧𝐨𝐰, in my professional career, 𝐈❜𝐦 running Fussy Eating workshops for my clients and their families, helping them to work through their challenges.
I hear stories of food mess' under the table from food snuck off plates, kids chewing and running to the toilet to spit out, even of food firmly pressed into the underside of the dinner table until it’s one day discovered by a raging parent.
Some families tend to reach their limit and offer their fussy eaters a separate meal to the rest of the family, just to put an end to the tantrums, food wastage and stress around mealtimes.
Usually it's something had before and liked, something maybe requested. Too often though, it's processed crap that’s so far removed from its’ original ingredients, having +++ sugar added and all sorts of additives too.
And sadly, kids are missing out on real food and becoming totally addicted to sugar.

1.
Rid your pantry from anything you don’t want your kids eating, just don’t keep it in the house.
Give your kids options, healthy, nutrient-dense options, from the 5 food groups.
Let them choose what they want from the options.
Let them decide how much they want; if it’s possible, have your kids plate up their own meals from a big shared pot/container.
Eat with them, at the table preferably, without distractions.
Let them learn their own hunger cues and let them decide when they are done.
Don’t give them processed crap after (not for dessert, not as a second dinner).
Offer dessert if that’s what your family does.
Enjoy it together. 🫶

2. 🌱👀👃👂👅
Connect with your food: Grow it, feed it, talk to it, touch it, feel it, grab it, squish it, poke it, smell it, peel it, cut it, lick it, and eat it.
And teach your kids to do the same.
Teach them to be mindful, to be present, to pay attention and use their senses to experience the food.
YOU have to role model for them 🙃

3. 🙏🏾
If you're going to try step 1, I pray for you. Be ready for it. Change is going to be uncomfortable for everyone involved.
Lean on your partner, family and support network.
Let your kids know what's happening and why, and once you start; be strong, be patient and most importantly, be consistent.

🍽
If you need help with this or want more information,
find me in Kununurra.
My next Fussy Eating Workshop will be held in April
Come and learn and play and teach your kids to become BRAVE with foods.

👋
But first, I go on holiday
to eat ALLLLL the good foods including plenty of dishes I hated as a kid. I cannot wait to be fed by my Nanny and to come back a little plump and healthy, like a bear about to hibernate for winter. Mmmh!

Catch ya in Kenya, or back in KNX 😁

Love, always

Choose LOVE, not fear.
Sometimes this means choosing to love yourself and honour your own boundaries as opposed to giving your love endlessly where it's not understood, appreciated or reciprocated.

For me, self love means making choices that are aligned with my own vibrational frequency,
and recognising when shifts happen and it's time to let go.

It means choosing not to explain myself again and again, and actually being okay with being misunderstood.

It means rolling with the punches and not taking things personally.

And it means total honesty with myself,
acknowledging mistakes,
forgiving what went wrong,
letting go with acceptance,
and moving forward with grace, in the direction of what is meant for me.

It's a constant challenge, choosing me when it might mean possibly hurting another,
But if it doesn't serve you, it probably doesn't serve them either,
So remember, choosing you means choosing LOVE.

Happy love day beautiful creatures
🥰

In each of our experiences of reality, I like to think of there being 𝙖 𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙤𝙛 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨; possibilities of truth as to why what happened happened, the intricate reasoning and detail in the complexity of how situations turn out, the microscopic birds eye view of the whole entire truth in a state of affairs.

One of the fundamental principals of quantum theory is that "𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝".
I believe this is the same as in our perspective.

The field of possibilities is like the subatomic particles flying around the nucleus not in any fixed state,
And the truth of reality is like the nucleus of an atom; multi dimensional in its wholeness, part of it can be captured from each different angles, but it cannot be seen wholely in all its dimensions, from just one position.

Similarly, we don’t know people's every intention. All we know is what's said and done. Not until we try to capture or express the quantum level, do the particles appear to be fixed in one spot.
When we process something and try to make sense of it, reasoning, analysing, subconsciously making assumptions based on our thoughts and beliefs, and recalling memories to fill in the gaps in what we don't know for sure, what we are doing is selecting parts of the truth, stringing them together in a storyline, believing it, and calling it reality.
So our consciousness is what makes things real for us.
.. 🤔
But maybe we don't need to capture or be certain about anything for sure.
Because if we do, we miss out on so many other possibilities of truth, so much learning and understanding, so many other configurations that things might be arranged in, so many other ways things might be.

🫶
Remember my friends, the whole truth is composed of multiple realities, all of our view points and experiences, every perspective has its’ place, none are wrong, each holds truth, but none on their own are the whole truth.
🫶

Each of us filters information differently; what we notice and retain, and what we ignore
We literally have different standpoints and physically see different truths from different angles,
We each take a different SPIN on things, just like the tiniest particles that make us up spin around the nucleus and have all different positions in the time space continuum. Similarly, our perceptions are singular possibilities of truth in an immense field of possibilities.

If we do a little work on ourselves and if we practice, we can actually step back from our own perspective and consider alternate possibilities in any situation before we judge and assume, and from that place of curiosity and wonder, the possibilities for discovery of truth are endless.

There's my bitta quantum coaching for you tonight!
Happy Sunday you vibrating cosmic creatures of light.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲.

Once upon a time though, I was a girl who spent every moment in her mind, thinking and planning and organising as though she were actually producing results from it.
Who placed immense pressure on herself in every choice to make right and good decisions, believing there was such a thing.
𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘢𝘥... 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘸𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘴.

🟠
I grew up learning that if I say and do and think good things, everything will work out - as though I could control every outcome.
And that if I say and do and think bad things, there would certainly be consequences; if I made a poor decision, as in, one that I inherently knew was not the best choice for me or was harmful to another, I would suffer as a result.
That every consequence has come from a choice we made or action we took, and that therefore we are responsible for every thing that happens to us in life.

🟡
So I had this sense of control via my moral compass, and when I was saw things that other people did that were wrong, immoral or bad from my eyes, I passed judgement, sensing that it would come back to them.
And the more I judged others, the more I judged myself, and the more perfectionist I tended to become.
For a long time growing up, I was SO attached to my actions, SO fu***ng careful of how I was, how I behaved, what I thought and said, that I forget to be present and live sometimes.

🟢
I started to worked on my shadow; the parts of me that I hid and felt ashamed about and judged.
I needed to learn what was good and bad and right and wrong, and why, and who decides.
“Was the concept even valid? What about perspective?”

𝐈 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 “𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞, 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 (𝐚 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬) 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐨 𝐈 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐢𝐭, 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐩 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐲𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠.. 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐚 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞? 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫?”
And I realised that that was driven by fear.
⚪️
𝐈 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 “𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦?”
Of course, my upbringing. For my parents who had worked hard to achieve stability and security in another country, why take unnecessary risks right? Definitely don’t encourage it. Instead, I was bubble-wrapped in a blanket of fear, coated with comfort, safety and security to protect me from any force unknown outside of control.
🔵
𝐈 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 “𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤?
I know in my heart that this is what I need to do but I can also anticipate how it might be perceived by others who only see parts of the whole, I know what it looks like. How do I make sure that they know I’m a good person, or that I worked really hard on that task, or that I was honest or loyal, or however it is I want to appear?”
And I realised that no-one will ever know your whole story; who you really are, even if you are genuine and authentic in your entire being and it shines through you, literally bursting at your seams. No-one can know every single experience you’ve had, each of which is composed of endless choices which have made and reinforced who you believe yourself to be.
We have to accept that when we make a choice that’s in alignment with our soul, not everyone is going to understand it or accept it, and that’s okay. We don’t need to prove or explain ourself to anybody, as long as we know in our hearts and are at peace with who we are.
🔴
“𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐞?”
Well sure, we can’t have everything or everyone. We have to accept that first off. It helps me to believe and know that the universe is conspiring in my favour, constantly shuffling pieces around to make room so that you and I and all of us can reach our best selves.
If only we would trust it and let go of our attachments to what we think we know is best for us, and instead step into the uncertainty and embrace what comes with acceptance and full trust that it will be what we need in that moment.
🟣
𝐈 𝐚𝐬𝐤𝐞𝐝 “𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮? 𝐚𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥?”
And I learned that people’s stuff is usually about them, not you. Don't take it personally. Their perceptions and projections are reflections of their own internal world. All we can control is how we respond, and if we can do so from from a place of compassion, curiosity and understanding, we’ll probably get a glimpse into their differing perspective and begin to realise, recognise and appreciate life’s nuances. ..

It’s tricky coz it seems like we know it all and our ego is so quick to judge. But we’ve got to step back from that, see the bigger picture, and fill in the gaps with human understanding.
..
I can honestly say that I can understand how anyone could be capable of doing anything given the conditions for it. Good vs bad and right vs wrong are not so black and white as they say. And I know from experience that 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫.
Life is constantly happening, change is inevitable, and decisions have to be made constantly.
So once you’ve consciously made one, 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁! Don’t be distracted worrying about its’ correctness or if other people will understand or what might or might not happen. ..
