We all go through painful situations in life – it’s an inevitable part of the journey of living. But suffering is a human condition + one that we do to ourselves. We obsessively think about things that happened in our past, that we did or were done to us. 🤯 We overthink all the things we believe are going wrong in our lives. By doing so, we forget how magnificent our life really is.…
Recently I’ve been feeling very burnt out. I do plenty of self care and self love stuff, I really listen to my body and do things every day to fill my own cup. I’m not sure yet what the message is that my body is trying to give me, but I’m listening. Today, as I write this, I’ve taken the day off to nourish myself.

Life is full of ups and downs, where it can feel like the shit hitting the fan will never end. This is a guaranteed part of life. But like old mate Tony Robbins says, pain is part of life; suffering is optional.

We can be our own worst enemy…
