Ewelina's Insights

  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

  On my last trip, I finally got to do something I have been looking forward to for a long time! My first scuba dive!. No pictures, unfortunately, so I made an art instead. As a beginner, I was with an instructor the whole time, and I got to see coral reef. It was an incredible experience. Though being a first timer, it took some time to get used to the scuba diving process. The biggest is to control my breathing and just let the body relax. At first I was doing well with the breathing and diving deeper, then I felt the underwater pressure and it hit me that I have never been underwater for so long and a strong desire to breathe through my nose came up as my mind was convinced I couldn't breathe anymore. Then spiraling into thinking up all the ways it could go wrong. That's when my breathing got too fast. My throat was too dry. Panic, I had to go up for air. I breathed, calmed down, and got my mind to a better place. Practiced my breaths and went back under. I was not about to ...
