Your day will come when someone compliments your love you have for yourself. There will be someone special who adds to what you already have found internally, love. The arms of the special person will be additional comfort you have. You will be ready for welcoming someone special in your space. The special one will match your energy and adds to your smile. Don’t stop waiting. Don’t stop believing. Don’t stop knowing it will be someone special. Continue to grow. Continue to romance yourself with flowers and date nights. Continue to learn what works for you. Continue to work towards your dream. Continue to love you and be open.
Be reminded this is your journey. These are your steps to take in life. Regardless if you crawl, walk, or run, this is your pace and your race. The main note I want to leave you with is take it one by one. Sometimes you have to take it by the seconds. That is okay too. As long as you’re moving forward or towards whatever direction you need to be heading , you’re making progress. Piece by piece. Step by step. Day by day. Moment by moment. One. One. One.
To search deep within and put in the time to know yourself before connecting to the world around you is a wonderful journey. There is one thing you get to choose if you never choose anything else in life and that is your journey. The moment you awaken you’re in your story of your life. How are you going to live in your story, your life? Each day I open my eyes I start with a prayer of thanksgiving because everyone didn’t wake up today. I count my blessings. Then, I pray my steps are ordered within this day. May the day begin. Affirmations I speak to set a positive attitude towards today atmosphere. You get to choose how you star in your story. Life is your journey. It won’t be perfect but it is worth living it. At the age of 32, I am finally feeling alive in my own story. After soul searching and self-focus alongside my time with my Heavenly Father, I realized I am finally living my life not for anyone else but for me. For so long I asked others opinions about going places, purchase orders, matters pertaining to my life that only I had the final say so. Now here I am following my heart and trusting I have what I need within to live my life. I trust my experiences have prepared me for life now. I know God is with me every step of the way. I am living in my greatest story. To live my best life, I had to rediacover life for myself. I had to regain trust in self to know I won’t put myself in harms way, I won’t let self down, and give myself space and grace in every area of my life(growth, imperfections, flaws, teachable moments, to get up after a fall) . Are you living in your greatest story? It’s your life. It’s your story. Take care of yourself in order to be the best you.
Fukushūen Garden Okinawa, Japan a place of peace and reconnecting self and nature. I found the meaning of really living life.
How much time are you investing in really getting to know who you are? What does investing in yourself look like? Are you able to take time off for yourself? Have you saved to treat yourself? Will you invest in the physical care you need? Are you investing in time, space, and financially in yourself? Self needs to be taken care of as well. You choose the best decisions for you. Be the best version of yourself!
Recently, I invested time in self to really sit with self and thoughts. I removed all distracrions and silenced phone. I left the space and grace I gave myself confident in who I am, loving myself more, and caring more for self. I learned to listen to my body. I invested financially in getting my body stretched by certified people for improving my flexibility and removing muscle tension I had for a long time. There’s no limit to my investing in self. I realize in my one lifetime, I must take care or my body, soul, mind, and heart. It takes time and steps to get there.
Okinawa, Japan steps I took alone to see the fruition from investing in self
I chose to dedicate the month of April as my self-focus month on a journey to self-identity, courage, self reflect, healing, and growth. I identified where I was mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. I needed a Reset in life with a weight I carried in my new beginning and the overwhelming space I was in. Self-care was needed along with time alone with self to search deep within. Within this month I took an entire week off for solitude. I disconnected from the world I knew(family, friends, social media, work). I reconnected with my inner being. I learned more about self. There were great cries through healing. There were things uprooted that needed to be released. I spent each day following my heart and going where I believe God led me. Embracing the new life I have on an island that is so beautiful. Nature presented an amazing setting for me to self-reflect, smile and tear. The lighthouse was my greatest moment to reach such a height, override fear, and see the world from a different perspective was needed. I sought after God more than I ever have alone in communion with Him in His presence and embracing His creations around me. If I may, I encourage you to take time to check in with yourself. How are you doing mentally, emotionally, and spiritually? Do you need to give yourself space and grace to reset or just rest? There is amazing healing that takes place in time alone. Knowing self before reconnecting in the world around you is so vital and important. Where is your self focus and self awareness?
