Change is inevitable yet it can’t be forced.
We all need to grow but each person does so at their own rate.

There may be times in our lives when we wish time would speed up so we can skip over a difficult or challenging chapter.

And there may be times when we wish the clock would slow down so we could have more time with our loved ones or we’re having the time of our lives and we just don’t want it to end.

I’ve spent a lot of my own life being frustrated at my perceived stagnation, desperately wanting things to move forward, for my life to “begin” as I measured myself against my peers who seemed to be moving on, growing up and achieving success in a way that I wasn’t.

And even on my healing journey there were times when I was trying to force a breakthrough, operating from the belief that I was broken and needed to be fixed ASAP.

Society, our families and institutions can all condition us to believe that there is a specific or optimal timeline we should be living by.

E.g. Buying a house by 30
Kids before age 40
Retirement by 70

But I believe in a creator and I believe in divine timing and as such I believe that we’re all uniquely crafted and designed to find our own path. Our soul came here on a mission to EXPERIENCE whatever that looks like, whether it’s straightforward or messy.

And to experience we must learn to enjoy the journey rather than hastening ahead to a specific destination.

Another lesson I’ve learnt is that the beauty of life happens when we’re not “trying” to make anything happen.

It’s those moments when we can be truly present and enjoy cuddling the dog in bed.
It’s the laughter and a moment of connection between two friends.
It’s a candyfloss sunset.
A grasshopper that you spy on a wall.
Your partner saying “I love you.”

I leave you with an affirmation I return to often when I need to cultivate a little patience…
“The slower I go, the faster I grow.” 🪴

Let’s talk about depression…

I used to suffer from the debilitating kind.

I’d have those days where I’d wake up and I couldn’t lift my head because it felt like someone had placed a brick on my forehead.

When it got really bad I’d feel suicidal and I tried to kill myself twice.

I don’t believe depression is an illness in and of itself – it’s just a symptom of repressed emotion, trauma, stagnant energy or a knot in your heart that you haven’t honoured or acknowledged.

I don’t have those really dark moments anymore but I have felt quite heavy and low for the past couple of days.

I couldn’t figure out why.

Then this morning I pulled an angel card for Archangel Haniel (a moon goddess) and it said “Honour your feelings.”

So I did.

I took a deep breath and did a few rounds of EFT tapping, allowing myself to honour and acknowledge all of what I was feeling – stuck, frustrated, angry with myself, fed up that things in my life weren’t moving fast enough, impatient, perfectionistic.

The tears came and I let them.

I leant in to that resistance and afterwards I felt so much lighter and brighter.

The perfectionist in me didn’t even want to acknowledge I was being a perfectionist so that’s why I’d gone into a slump – you don’t have to worry about getting things perfect if you don’t try at all.

But there is a middle ground – I can accept that my best today is good enough and that will change from day to day.

Today honour how you’re feeling and allow yourself to step into flow and out of resistance.

You are ENOUGH!
