Love Yourself Anyway

Your subconscious mind doesn’t know the difference between past and present. When you consistently bring your trauma into the present, reenact it, and glorify it with the passionate way in which you talk about it, you are giving it power to own your life. Your subconscious mind remains in a state of confusion and gets stuck in a time loop of past becoming present. When you let your subconscious mind keep writing your present story with the pen of your past traumas, you don’t allow life to exist as it is because you’re speaking your trauma over any possibility of a new perspective and outcome. The shift from repeating old cycles to speaking life into new moments is life changing. It is the difference of choosing to find pain in your experiences and choosing to relish in each moment as a learning opportunity, a catapult forward to erasing the line between you and your highest self. The illusion is that there was ever a line there to divide you in the first place. 

Recognize when YOU do this to someone else. Stop playing the blame game as if life is happening to you, that it’s always “their fault”. Own your shit. There is no shame. Be kind and loving to yourself as you become more aware of your humanness. Allow space for grace and forgiveness to exist. And if they can’t give that to you? That’s on them. You can only own your journey, your mistakes, your reactions. And slowly, as you bring awareness to your reactions, you allow them to evolve into responses. This takes time. Never stop offering yourself grace. You will witness yourself fail over and over again in life. That will always be there, it is a part of the human experience. In these moments, you are the one who needs to comfort you, forgive you, allow yourself the space to fuck it up, and most importantly, the give yourself the permission to love yourself anyway.
