self-compassion

self-compassion is a needed attribute when it comes to living a human life

the mind has a way of using your weak points against you and beating you down in the mind’s eyes
there will be moments where you feel disappointed by yourself or maybe angry that you are nowhere close to where you want to be.
it’s normal.
allow yourself to unfold however you will, you are you for a reason.
forgiveness. self-hugs…yes hugging yourself, dancing, living in the present moment…breathing are ways to show yourself compassion.

Knowing that you are here for a human experience (a short one if I might add), and your own struggles and darkness should be a catalyst to start living from the heart and extend your self-compassion to others. If you are having these dark thoughts, aren’t other humans also dealing with their own dark thoughts?

If you are hard on yourself, that will show up in your relationships one way or another.
If you truly love all parts of you, you won’t find any issue accepting people as they come and giving unconditional love because you have accepted both the darkness and the goodness within.
When you understand duality, there is no resistance on your part when life unpacks both good days and bad days. You take them both for what they are.

life is a cycle, full of ups and downs, but always thrive to grow and evolve everyday so you are not stuck in the same cycles for year ends.
Taking personal inventory of where you are storing your energy and the quality of thoughts will help cut of more than half of the B.S.

Prioritize feeling good…and you don’t need any substances to do that. It could mean cry to feel some relief or laughing to forget about your worries, doodling to just escape this reality…just follow your bliss (as Abraham Hicks loves to say)

take life moment to moment.
romanticizing your life helps you to soften your connection with life.

self-compassion could also mean investing in programs to heal yourself and know yourself more or it could mean having a strict time limit on social media for the sake of your mental wellbeing or cutting off certain people from your social group because they don’t align with your values anymore…or, just drinking more water.

compassion is being patient with yourself, always seeing and thinking of the inner child within you who doesn’t have all the answers.
it also means knowing that life is all about learning how to love ourselves better and unlearning ways that misalign us with the truth of who you are.
All roads lead home anyway so enjoy the journey.
Always remembering that you already have all that you desire might help. Your perspective is narrowed to what you know and can see…, but have you made room for what you don’t know yet, will never know and what you can’t see?

make room for the unseen magic.
believe in yourself a little more every day.
you can do it.
have fun along the way, and for the love of all beings that breath, get out of your head!
Live in your body, right now.

need for validation

there is a small part of us that wants to be popular…famous or whatever!
we yearn to be loved by many
there’s a wound there
find the core root
be honest with yourself
that’s the only way this is gonna work
what’s the story behind this?
what are you hoping this will bring?
What are you subconsciously wanting to feel?

happy? well we already know that’s a choice!
fulfilled? well, listen to your heart!
joyful? do things that excite you!
thrill? face your fears
do you see the pattern?

all of these things have action as a constant
put in effort towards what you want out of life.
be there fully present.
appreciate the moment as it passes by.
feel the clothes on your body.
really lean into it
and stay there.
breathe.
you are already worthy.
you are worth it.
your success is inevitable anyway.
prioritize inner peace.

and remember,
at your core you are love.

Duality

accept both sides of life
the good and the bad
the moments you’re so proud of and those that you are “ashamed” of
the moments that break your heart and the ones that excite you with so much love
the little ones filled with fear and the bigger ones filled with faith, gratitude and relief!
being authentic allows you to show up just as you are
not faking it
your worth could never be based on “things”
you just are.
worthy.

no wasted energy on things that are not aligned with your soul
your time is precious
so you might as well use it to build a strong foundation in understanding your own existence
your connection to life
the reason you are here.
be honest with your pretentious sides too.
who are you really fooling?
face your own b.s
feel all those emotions
in 90 seconds that beeesssh would have passed over!
regardless, keep adding your beans to the sac with positive thoughts, understand that this too shall pass.
free yourself!

prioritize rest

start being so intune with your body and emotional bank to see if your basic needs are met.

in this toxic hustle culture, we are focused on going, going, going that we forget to take care of the most important person in this whole equation: you!
sleep is one of the most important thing, along what we consume physically and subconsciously, it is very medicinal and it’s a portal to your subconscious mind and if you are even more intune, you get to experience higher dimensions of existence, which manifests differently based on personal experiences.

try to cut off eating and alcohol a couple of hours before heading to bed.
move a little bit before you jump in. stretch.
drink some more water.
breathe.
slow down. set the ambiance to create a relaxing atmosphere.
maybe play some white sound.
make some tea. unplug
reflect on your last 6 hours…what could you have possibly done better?
What are you most grateful for right now?
What brought a smile to your face today?
What do you hope tomorrow will bring? Stay there for a while…
meditate for a bit, and just be.
be content to just be here
right now
forever more…

Accept change.

sometimes change is scary
we want some kind of security blanket to hold us together through the passage of time
but deep down we know that change is inevitable
downs and ups
but as long as we stay grateful for what we already have been blessed with anyway,
we already have what we need in every moment.
life becomes easier when you learn to detach from fear and live fearlessly and fully!
spend some time alone and really dig deep in your soul and get to know yourself
who are you?
why are you here?
what does the world really need right now?
how can you provide this?
what kind of lifestyle do you want? (regardless of what others might think/say)
how much would you need to earn a year, have in your savings/investment account and in your retirement fund to support this lifestyle?
always remember, your time is very expensive. the world will meet you at your level of preparation for when the moment comes. what are you doing right now, to show up and act in faith that you’re aligned with all your desires? experience is the best calculator, so start now!

The 4 Bases Of Power

Intention

Effort

Consciousness

Investigation

What are your intentions? What is your purpose?

Ok then, what effort are you putting in on a daily basis to align with your intention?

Where are you storing your energy? Who are you conscious of being? Who are you right now?

Are you controlled by the mind’s tricks…are you stuck in the past…are your problems bigger than you? Are you hypnotized by how your life looks like right now?

Be honest with yourself.

Liberate yourself.

You are more powerful than you think…just don’t listen to that limiting voice. It knows your weaknesses and uses them against you. Think of it like an evil twin that uses all those low vibrational emotions to bring you down to its level. Don’t let it. Become best friends with it instead and try to understand where it is coming from.

Why does it want you to stay stuck in the old story? What does it have to lose? What is this version of you so scared of? Once you are aware of and face your fears…everytime your lower self tries to bring them against you…watch them but don’t engage emotion towards them. Merely watch them the way you would watch a car pass by or a tree shake…nonchalantly.

You are the operant power in this B! So no, your mind is not allowed to pay tricks on you. Laugh at it at times…chuckle if you are not so brave. Throw away that fear of being crazy. We are all a little crazy. My point is, don’t take it so seriously.

It’s you. It’s all you. So, focus that energy back into the present moment by grounding yourself…and letting go of all those things that don’t align or make you feel good.

That’s all.

Have a good one!

The Present Moment

To be fully present you have to sacrifice the past and the future and fully trust in the unfolding of it all….

Memories, fears, stories that triggered you earlier in the day, the past…that one story that haunts you all the time, all these bring mental images that pull our awareness away from the present moment

It is quite simple yet an untamed mind could run you mad. You are the operant power. You are the boss in this MF. Don’t let Bobbiana bully you and steal your day from you. Cuss her out once in a while…and tell that bish to get out!!!

Just finding happiness in being fully aware of you being in the now…how the wind feels against your skin…the ladies laughing in the background meshing together with the dog barking…along with the passing cars. Maybe a couple kids will pass by infront of you and catch your curiosity before you will feel an itch fully manifest on your lower left back.

Underneath all that noise you will probably hear your own breath because you’re that present….

Bobby, definitely in the beginning of retraining yourself to stay fully present, will try once in a while to fight you on this one…but that’s ok. Keep reeling your awareness back to your body and breath. If you have been used to staying in your head a lot, you might need to be more vigilant with training your awareness to stay put and allow the negative thoughts to just pass through without any (emotional) attachment.

Depending on how much healing work you’ve done to let go of your trauma, you might be tempted to escape your reality. If you do choose to escape, atleast be honest with yourself with why you are escaping…and know that even if you do escape now…you will have to overcome this mountain regardless…and it’ll be waiting for you once you come back.

The easiest way to overcome these negative energies is to sit with it…face it with unconditional love. It will be uncomfortable at first but if you watch it a bit longer without fighting it…it’ll subside. Don’t let fear dictate your life.

Always ask yourself…your inner child to be specific, “what do you need darling?”…and listen.

Don’t be too hard on yourself.

Treat yourself to something sweet and really enjoy the smell and taste in your mouth.

Take a hot shower or soak in a tub and listen to some calming music…with some essential oils diffusing. Listen to how water sounds when it touches down. Feel how your hands feel like against your skin. Worship your body…by being fully present and massaging it with love.

Or maybe watch your favorite funny show while in your pajamas…completely unplug from the world and dial in.

You got this one!

Get Out Of Your Head…I am Begging You

Due to trauma response from your past experiences, you might have trained yourself to live in survival mode. Living in your head is not normal…well…okay, I mean trying to figure out every tiny little detail of how things should unfold is not normal.

Stop stressing and start allowing.

Stop looking for the answers and the manifestation of your desires in your reality. You already have it, so why would you be searching… ?

(that’s a state of lack by the way)

Surrender and be fearless.

Let the magic of the universe surprise you.

You are loved so much. Open yourself up and don’t allow your triggers to close you off from all this abundance invisibly floating around.

P.S: The real you is pure consciousness…the meat suit is just your avatar to help you interact with others.

So tap into the infinite abundance. It’s your birthright!
