Ewelina's Insights

  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

  Sometimes in life. We temporarily lose sight of our path and the bigger picture because our attention is needed in the present moment. -Ewelina

  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

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

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 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'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

Healing takes time, building a career takes time, and learning a new skill takes time. We live in such a fast-paced world where everything is instant gratification. That we lose patience with ourselves and process that take longer. Sometimes, we need to give ourselves more rest, practice more, or stick to a routine longer than expected to get the results we desire. Not everything is meant to happen right away, and we can't always control that. Life is not a race. It's OK to just let things be at times and find acceptance for where we are. -Ewelina

  You are always able to create the life you want Your past doesn't define your future. This one can take time to learn, especially. If you are so used to disappointments and circumstances turning out a certain way. That could lead to difficulty in believing in a different future. Since such a thing is just out of our perception. Sometimes, this could lead to fear and anxiety when an opportunity presents itself. But a different future is always possible. It helps to be gentle with that fear and uncertainty within you. Sometimes, you may need to carry it like a child as you be brave and move forward in life. There is a quote that says “If you want something you've never had, you must do something you've never done." Keep moving. A new life is waiting. -Ewelina

  In life, we sometimes get caught up thinking, believing that if we were just, more successful, work harder, be thinner, richer, more talented, then we would deserve to have love, belonging, and support. Except that you fall into the perfectionism trap of never being enough. It is important to work towards your goals from a place of worthiness. -Ewelina

  Love your inner child. Self-love is everything, and you will be your own parent for the rest of your life. Your inner child is very real and, at certain times, can take over the show. Learn to be gentle with that part of you, treat it with love, compassion, and guidance. Let it be creative and nurture that part. As it has a lot to teach us. This is a lifelong practice you will work towards. But if you make it a daily one, it will drastically improve your relationship with yourself as well as with others around you. We can be our own biggest mysteries, and having a part of us always striving to know and understand oneself can help you heal, grow, and transcend life's challenges. -Ewelina

  This is from a collection of insights I have written from life lessons I've learned. People will change and some will leave. Sometimes, it's the ones you least expect and want to hold on to the most. The more your lives and values differ, the less you will see of them. Sometimes, you overextend yourself to have people you love in your life, and they still leave. This is painful, but it's important to not look at yourself through the eyes of people who leave you and don't see your worth. Or to hold onto something that is no longer meant to be. It's OK to lose others, but don't lose yourself. See yourself as a vessel going towards your own uncharted seas. Sometimes, that may be lonely when there is no one there beside you. But if you keep going towards your goals and desires. You will eventually start meeting others along the path. -Ewelina
