I speak to those who have experienced sadness, loneliness, heartache, disbelief, weakness, sorrow, pain and who have walls put up who don’t feel they can fight this fight alone, I speak to those who have taken on everyone else’s stuff because they thought or still think that it’s helping others and showing compassion, but you have forgotten yourself and what you need, you try to help everyone around you during which time you have lost yourself and sight of who you are and the love that you have for yourself. Everyone is more important than you. I speak to those who have felt as I have that I should just hold back my thoughts and feelings because that’s where it’s safe, just hide, don’t excel it might hurt someone else if I stand out, it might help someone as well but who am I to help someone when I still struggle. Have you ever felt that what others may say could be true when they tell you you’re beautiful, you’re strong, you're courageous, you’re kind, or do those things just pass through you,like you don’t or can’t believe it? I’m here to tell you that you can do it, you can do whatever it is that you desire if you will just take that power back, the power in your mind that tells you what is possible, what you focus on will become your reality. Possibilities are endless to those who push through those negative thoughts and feelings and start believing. You are not just a wife you are not just a mother you are not just a caregiver to everyone, you are not just a provider, or nurturer, you are a woman who is a warrior, you have the ability to comfort others in the same way you can be comforted, you can love yourself just as much if not more than you love those closest to you. Anything you want to feel in your life you can show up and make yourself feel it instead of always relying on someone outside of you to show up or to do something so you feel those positive emotions. Don’t wait until you see it to believe it, start believing now, start showing up for you now! I have held my tongue and kept myself shutdown and in a place I thought was safe for so long, but I look at those times and realize now that I am stronger when I speak up, just like a muscle it only gets stronger as it’s worked out, stretched and uncomfortable, we must allow ourselves to do those uncomfortable things like saying what we mean and being authentic, understanding our limits, saying no when we can’t help someone, not taking offense, instead try to understand what the intention was around the situation, not just dealing with the idea that you are limited to money or limited to just one thing you have to offer there is so much more you can offer, here’s a belief that I have held on to my whole life that if I do anything other than staying at home with my children and keeping a perfectly clean organized home than I am not a good mother or wife or “homemaker” these old beliefs and thoughts are holding me back from being a better wife and mother, I want to show up as a better version of me by teaching my children that it is possible for them to do more than just one great thing, to teach them by example that when they follow their dreams and follow inspiration from a power higher than themselves they are fulfilling their purpose and have a greater impact on the world and the people around them. Don’t just be comfortable going on autopilot with what you were trained to believe, take responsibility to believe it because you feel it and you know it’s right and because you always remember who is guiding you, let God be your guide so that you can accomplish what you came To earth to accomplish. You are a warrior woman, you are strong, you are beautiful on the inside and the out, you have a good heart and can bless so many lives with all your gifts and abilities, you have the power within yourself to choose the path that is right for you, you make a difference and it’s ok to STAND UP and STAND OUT! You are preparing generations to be able to fight this fight against darkness, you are a leader to those who don’t have someone to turn to, you are an inspiration full of love and embodied with light, draw others to that light that you radiate by believing in yourself and your higher power, stand for truth and righteousness and show that there is a way out, be a warrior who helps defend against mental illness, teach the tools that build confidence knowing that we have all had failures in our lives, but it is the response to those failures that will make us stronger, it is our focus on the good and what is working more than the focus on the negative things and worrying about the unknown, listen to your mind, understand what it’s telling you, feel the emotions that come up and take time to be in the moment, write it all down and decide right then what you want to do about it. Decide who you want to be, do you want to feel those emotions that come up or are you ready to release them. Don’t stay in that place too long if you decide to feel the negative emotions, just stay there long enough to recognize and understand them and then find a solution, turn it into what you want the outcome to be and how you want to feel and just press forward. If there is medical help required be brave enough to seek after that support and help, turn to those who are capable of helping you, you are strong, you are loved. It takes a lot of faith to step into the darkness of the unknown, but you will be stronger for it and the way will be easier to see as time goes on. You are a warrior. You are incredible, you make a difference and you stand out as an example of what is possible with how you choose to respond to your difficulties. Always remember you are a warrior woman!
