Being Your Own Light

Being Your Own Light

It's Mental Health Awareness Week: let's talk, shall we?

At certain points in our lives, we feel pain. Our brains throb with stress, our lungs burn with the fires of anxiety and our eyes droop under the exhaustive weight of insomnia (I like to say that my under-eye bags carry suitcases at the best of times!) We might hurt with an inexplicable pain; we might feel things we can't define. All we know is that it just doesn't feel ok.

I 100% believe in the idea of creating the life you love, the life you want and to be the person you want to be. But, often, limiting beliefs can hold us back: ‘I am not good enough' ; ‘I can’t do this.' These beliefs, if we let them, take over our entire lives.

I'm saying it is time to unpack these limits. It's time to question them, confront them, ask ourselves why we feel this way. Because it is only when we learn and grow and move forward, that we will find our inner confidence, our inner light.

It is incredibly important to be true to your own real, authentic self. It is only by showing up and showing our light to the world, ourselves, that everything can flow from a place of who we really are. 

Whatever you love, pursue it. Follow your passions - whatever that passion is. Don’t be afraid to be the person you are and the person you want to be. Act ‘as if’ and it can happen. Just don't forget to look after yourself, too!
