Life is simple, but us humans seem hellbent on complicating it. Most of the things we spend our times worrying about is mind dramas created by our fear. Time to Get out of your own way. Truth be told, you are your own worst enemy, judge and executioner; take your pick. Nobody can better you in messing you up. That my friends is the sad truth of life. Others can only hurt you if you let them by seconding their asinine opinions regarding any aspects of you. Therefore, get over yourself and start treating yourself like the priceless treasure the Divine created you as. Remember the Sacred is expressed through all aspects of you and your life. Unfortunately, the happenings in life tend to separate you from your true self and you create little personas to cope with the demands of life. Is this really you? Reflect upon your life and the person you have become. The best gift you can give the world is to be who you were created to be, being true to yourself. Therefore, grab this opportunity to edit your life so that you can reconcile your bits and pieces into the whole of your original self so that you can focus on living your best possible life. Lose the false front and rather uncover and reveal your authentic self. Explore the depths of yourself through mindset practices such as mindfulness, meditation, gratitude, affirmations and self-care practices. Where does your heart lead you? Healing is a process whereby you explore the furthest corners of yourself, especially the darkest parts of your psyche in a bid to reconcile and integrate all your bits into a harmonious whole. Be willing to acknowledge your shadow side, the dark side that you tend to hide from the world. Understand that self-love is only possible when you harmonize these disparate parts of your psyche into a harmonious whole. Address old wounds and self-judgement to gain clarity and understanding so that you can release and let go. 

Don’t doubt the messages you intuit your soul is sending you. Try to adopt a 360-degree perspective when trying to understand aspects of yourself at a deeper level. Scrutinize and explore what is bothering you. Do not resist the change that you intuit needs to take place within yourself. Remember change is an opportunity to reinvent yourself so that you can enjoy a better life. Relieving yourself from negative thought patterns will allow you to see how fear, stress and anger warped your mind. 

 Spend time alone with your thoughts and shut out the outside world to get away from distractions. 

Remember you always find what you are looking for. If you are looking for reasons to blame life, yourself or others, you will find plenty. On the other hand, if you are looking for reasons to be thankful, grateful, cheerful you will find them too. Your emotions will perform the role you have decided for them. Recognize that you are the scriptwriter for your life. Blame is not a ‘get out of jail’ card, so refrain from apportioning blame to anyone or anything, including yourself. It takes discernment to acknowledge that blaming anyone is not in line with right living, so it's time for blame to get cancelled. Trust me, your life will be the better for it as it will force you to step up to level up. The chains that bind you to bad situations and drama are placed there by yourself. Moving on emotionally is only as difficult as you decide it to be. 

Only you know your emotional needs. You are truly connected to yourself when you can say ‘this is my truth’ as it shows self-awareness of your most innermost being. It is a sign of disconnection from yourself when you find yourself at a loss of describing, let alone knowing your reality and your experiences. Make sure the way you present yourself to the world is in alignment with your truth. Do not compromise yourself by conforming to others expectations, as it does not serve your higher self to play small. Learn to ground yourself everyday by standing barefoot on soil or grass.  

This is a great way to recharge as absorbing the energies of the earth will help you shift your vibrations into a more positive direction to stay balanced and prevent you from spiraling into negativity. Never hesitate to bloom, wherever you find yourself. Show all your colors to the world today. Don't wait for better circumstances as tomorrow is not guaranteed. Ditch the idea that your happiness depends on the actions of others. Take responsibility for your own state of mind and become determined to keep yourself in a happy state. The state of happiness is entirely dependent on a decision, yours; so, make it. Only you determine the wattage of your day. You can be as bright as a button on a gloomy day or like limp lettuce on a sunny day. Recognize that your decision decides your disposition for the day. However, remember like attracts like so your vibe determines what you attract more of, that’s a fact. 

Know that your relationship with yourself is the only factor that determines the quality of your life.

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner - Lao Tzu 

Learn that you are your own person, so do only what you innately know is the right action. Do not allow yourself to be swayed by others into actions that go against your inner nature.

It is freeing when you allow yourself to be the only person you hold accountable for your actions.
