UNLEARNING

Finding myself is not really how it works. I’m not quite a ten dollar bill in last winter’s coat pocket. I am not lost. My true self is right here, buried under cultural conditioning, other people’s opinions and inaccurate conclusions I drew as a child and as an adult. Finding myself is actually returning to myself. An unlearning, a remembering who I was before the world got its hands on me.

CONFIDENCE IS QUEEN

What could you do if you stopped doubting yourself? There is no right time. The right time on certain things have been taught to us through invisible social constructs that we’ve invented and have slowly adapted and changed throughout human history. And I mean for anything. Life is extraordinarily temporary and the more we dive into uncomfortable things the more we learn and know about ourselves the better.

HONEY YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN

A STUDY IN PINK

We’re all so focused on the external. It’s okay to do nothing. To be nothing. To just sit. To feel. To be. To work through the old problems. To be a better you. I know how I did it but everyone has their own way.

That will make you more in tuned with what you want in all aspects of your life. I encourage you to forgive yourself, to quit judging yourself, and to give yourself some space from everything.

SATURDAY

Stress is caused by the mind of the individual suffering from stress, not by circumstances. Most of us suffer from the basic problem of mistaken identity – we tend to identify with our judgments and criticisms of ourselves and belive our judging minds to be who we are.
