Set Yourself Free

"Lose the weight. The weight of self doubt. The weight of comparison. The weight of other's opinions. The weight of unrealistic expectations. The weight of the demons in your head. The weight of believing you'll never be enough. You are already enough. More than enough." ~Amy Weatherly~

Good morning dear ones. For many years I have carried the opinions of others with me, especially the bad ones. I have weighed myself down with the worries of not being good enough. I have taken on the mountain of pain and suffering in this world and tried to fix what isn't mine to fix. What have I learned by doing this? I have learned that someone else's opinion of me isn't mine to carry. I have learned that I am good enough for me and for those that are in my tribe. I have learned that it hurts to take on so much and I cannot repair what I didn't break.

I know it is difficult not to take what other people think of you to heart. However, I have learned that what someone thinks is their burden to bear. I do not know how or when we lost sight of how precious life is but it is something we need to relearn. Rather than putting someone (including ourselves) down, we should be lifting people up and providing encouragement. Give a little bit of grace to those who seem to be struggling and remember that kindness can help lift up what may be weighing you down.

My loves, be good to yourselves and others. Let go of what might be weighing you down and give yourself a break. You deserve to rest and recharge when the world gets to be too much. Remember that it isn't weakness to ask for help. We all need a pick-me-up now and then. Be Kind, Be Peace, and Be Love. Yesterday is past and tomorrow isn't promised. Live and love for today. - Live - Laugh - Love - Namaste
