Accept and move on

  Accept and move on Sometimes, the thing that keeps us stuck in life is the avoidence of certain emotions. What you resist persists. To acknowledge  and accept where we are now. Could be the first step in moving forward. Ewelina

Don't let your strive for work ruin what you are working so hard for

  Don't let your strive for work ruin what you are working so hard for. I have learned from a young age that a hard, relentless work ethic is essential in life. I am grateful for the lesson, though I have come to learn that. Working hard is a state that can only be maintained temporarily and must be balanced with softness and nurturing towards yourself. But we sometimes get so caught up in the work that we forget to live and enjoy the things we are working so hard for. Work is important, though it is not everything. Taking it slow, prioritizing rest and breaks is part of productive and effective work. Over doing it could be counterproductive and damaging to your health. It's important to maintain that balance and not lose sight of the bigger picture. -Ewelina

Listen to your body

As the saying goes, health is wealth. I feel that is not something to fully understand until your health goes. Sometimes, we push ourselves too hard and don't prioritize our health until we have no choice but to. If something in your life is negatively affecting your physical, mental, and emotional health. Then it should be changed even if others around you don't understand. The way you live your life should be supporting and not damaging your health and well-being. Life will just keep giving you lessons until you start to take better care of yourself. -Ewelina

You can't fight yourself and win

I heard Tony Robbins say: "Everything is happening for you and not against you." Of course, this could be a challenging concept. Though I have found it to be an empowering one. Particularly when faced with inner disharmony. I have found that every part inside of us is trying its very best to help in some way. It may seem counterintuitive. Though all too often, I find that when we experience fear, stress, pain, or shame, we tend to turn against it. We try to fight or suppress a part of us, as if it's some kind of enemy we need to defeat. In my life, it has been helpful to be present with myself. Especially when my mind sometimes spirals into anxiety and seeing it as its way of trying to help me avoid pain. By alerting me to a potential issue. This creates an opportunity to gently find ways to self-soothe and meet the unmet needs of my distressed part. Sometimes, the disharmony of different aspects within us is what needs to be treated with more kindness and introduced coop...

Be open to life's lessons

  Be open to life's lessons Everyone has something to teach you, and you have something to teach others. Sometimes, what you really need to hear can come through the most unexpected person. Sometimes, you are in the right place at the right time to be able to help someone else. Learning is something that never ends, and sometimes, life's great lessons can come to you in unexpected ways. Stay open to them. -Ewelina

You are not for everyone, and that's Ok

  You are not for everyone, and that's Ok You're not going to make sense to everyone, and sometimes your truth could make others uncomfortable. You may not fit into other's perceptions of you. Sometimes, people will project past pain onto you or idolize and assume you are someone you're not. Like an art piece, some will hate parts of you that others will love. It's all a matter of perception. The right people will be drawn to the authentic you. While the wrong people will make you feel like you are not enough. When you stay true to yourself, you will find the right people. -Ewelina
