Healing has its own time table.
It is true that time heals wounds but I can say if you move along with time, the #healing moves much faster. And at times, I believe we have to sit and just be. Let that quiet space speak to you. I have learned to stop rushing myself in a world where everything is instant or immediate. Sometimes that slower pace is just want you need to process things. The #clarity shows up unexpectedly.
In the past weeks, I had an old trauma resurface and rear its head. As I strongly believe, you are not responsible for the trauma that happened to you. Your healing is your responsibility.
The first step to getting what you want is getting rid of what you do not. That includes bad habits, bad people, bad things, and bad thoughts. Give it all up. When you shine light onto darkness, it is about choosing love over fear. When you hold back the truth, you make fear more important than love.

The depth of your love is always mirrored by the depth of your honesty.
I have a pure heart and my world mirrors that. I choose love, that deep love for myself, for God, for grace and forgiveness. I work through trauma so that it does not linger and flow out of my space. I am fortunate to have a space to unpack those emotions. It is here. It is in the gym. It is in my sessions. It is in conversations with my dearhearts.
It has been years since I have been in a toxic relationship but I would not be here without those painful experiences. I also have come full circle to counsel and comfort broken hearts who battle, are dealing with or experiencing the same damage I knew too well. It is far easier to use your challenges to understand others and empathize the struggles and disappointments because we all value #compassion and #encouragement.
We are all deserving of love, success, financial security, friendship, and bottomline #happiness. But if you do not believe you are deserving of these things, then do not expect them to arrive at your door anytime soon. Having a sense of unworthiness will not let good things in. You are not perfect, but no one is. Learning to love yourself opens a door to good things though. So if you ever feel alone, discouraged or do not think anyone understands, please do not. I promise I will be there to catch you, pick you up and lift you. We are all equally positioned to either help or be helped ♥
