Bottled-up feelings and emotions pouring out and now, I can breathe again. 🌬️ [How I released and accepted them]

Dear April has been very tumultuous and exciting so far. Tumoltous and exciting because I always try to see the moment I experience in duality, in it's balance. There's ALWAYS something to be grateful for and I try to remind myself that especially during hard moments I am faced with. 

How do I actually manage to even do it during times of disappointment and sadness? 

I have disciplined myself to always be aware of my well-being and how I feel and if I sense that I'm entering darker thoughts and emotions, I try my best to take a mental one step back and do a few deep breaths and then shift my focus to positive, expressing my gratitude towards the good in my life. From that point of view, things get more soft, gentle and a swirl of bottled-up feelings and emotions comes pouring out of me with such force and intensity, that gratitude instantly comes again on display in my mind. Sometimes as a by-product of such intense release, I start smiling from my heart as well.

From that moment on, the realization and state of the situation start to shape and form, and eventually, when I get calm and cool again, I can claim understanding and compassion for my perspective, actions, and thoughts. 

That process usually unfolds for us when some neglected memories and feelings from the past can no longer be hidden and for example, if we take them as a character living in us, they take matters into their own hands and come knocking on your mental door for us to face them and sort our turmoil out. They refuse to be ignored and will stay there from that point on, usually in a form of guilt, that resides in us permanently until seen. 

To face our past wounds and traumas or broken realtionships and surrender to all that it brings with it, is a pure act of bravery and love and a beautiful sign that we care about ourselves and our mental health deeply. We are aware that to truly live our lives to the fullest, we need to nurture our fire and light. When faced with the deepest fears and ugliest feelings in us, it's one of the greatest acts of self-love.



Believe in your ability and power you hold 
to unlock the way and set yourself free. 


3 tips from my experience on how to handle yourself during hard times:

1. Detach yourself to someplace you find comfortable and take a few deep breaths (full inhale, pause for 3 seconds, and full exhale).

2. Shift your attention to some memory from your life that brings nothing but joy and in the moment you feel the positive vibrations pouring in, generate utmost gratitude for the good in your life.

3. After first 2 steps, take your sacred time to rest and reset, a good sleep or walk in nature is very beneficial and try to not look at any screens, so that your mind, soul and body can get a proper regeneration. 


My dear beautiful reader, I am immensely grateful and happy that you have decided to give me a chance and read my whole blog entry. It means that you find my words worthy of your time and you maybe learned something new. With that act, you also support my creativity and passion for writing. 🥰


With nothing but love and gratitude,

The Power of Positive Perspective During Life's Challenges

Image
To be optimistic and maintain a positive attitude doesn't imply that we will always live in constant happiness. It's a personal choice. Being optimistic means that even during tough and challenging times, we choose to perceive the situation from a dual POV, with the focus primarily on the positive side, while also acknowledging the difficulties and seeking proper solutions. Instead of feeding our minds and hearts with negativity and dwelling on "possible outcomes or what ifs", that undermine our self-worth and well-being, we should recognize them as distractions and eliminate them as soon as we become aware and ready to do so. To recognize or see them as distractions, we must summon the courage to acknowledge them for what they are. It is natural and often easier to lean on the negative side of the spectrum, thinking "Tomorrow is another day to try; today is not the right time". However, to mentally rise above the ordinary, above these distractions, see your...

Van Chronicles #1: From Apartments to Van Life Adventures

Image
I find it very kind and beneficial when people are honest about everything they do and share the most valuable lessons with the world. Reflecting individually, transforming collectively. I have to tell you that this kind of traveling with a van stripped me bare of all my reservations and many aspects of my personality, such as being shy in front of others and having very little privacy at campsites. Sometimes, handling #vanlife for the first time made me feel a bit anxious about what others might think. However, I feel so powerful now. It wasn't even a question of choice, but rather the circumstances pushing me to turn my weaknesses into strengths. I have become much more confident in these past 2 weeks, even more than I thought I already was. What a ride life is when you jump into the unknown waters, willing to conquer and learn!  To master something, it is not nearly enough to just watch and listen. What makes it valuable and attainable is when you put what you have learned in th...
