How are you going to be intentional in your life? // Everyone is meant to be their whole selves. Most of the time, we shift and adjust ourselves to be a version that we think is going to be accepted and to be loved so we can feel like we belong. This is where less obvious trauma sets in. How to address these traumas? Build resilience. // All bodies are different. All souls are different. Every action we take is going to look different from what another does. But if we follow our heart and our life’s purpose, the results will be the same: one of love and belongingness. // Most of our beingness is in our subconscious. Awareness can bring forward those subconscious thoughts to the conscious mind. From here, we can make better choices. // When we are inspired, we can act from a place of empowerment. We feel confident. // It’s important for us to follow our own individual callings so that we can create a beautiful orchestra of life… or a kickass gymnastics team! // Mimicry into mastery: it’s okay to mimic the people who inspire us. Often, they are a mirror of who we already are and what we already have within us. We can use them as a model to follow until we master what it is that we're meant to do. // Our heart is a compass through the life that we're living. // Join me on Tuesday, May 4th 7-9pm ET for Write to Heal, a healing space for women of color, a space for you to just BE.
