Title: The 10 year separation anniversary edition, a reflection gift to myself.
#1: You, you and YOU
- Falling off the planet for an entire year and focusing on yourself is a level up x 12
- Silencing yourself is a huge disservice to your authenticity
- Knowing who you are and what you have to offer is your value proposition – zero fucks to give
#2: Crying is one of the best forms of therapy
- It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to
- Cry, cry, cry until you can’t cry no more
- Let it all out and keep flushing it away like a really great shit
#3: The past is not your enemy
- The past is what’s made you who you are today, own it
- You learn everything through your failures, not success
- Forgiving yourself is better than a birthday gift, forgiving others is a party
#4: To relationship or to not relationship
- You don’t need to be in a relationship to be happy
- The relationship you build with yourself first is the best one
- Vibrators work
#5: Money is a tool
- Money is energy and will flow if you have a good relationship with it
- Money can be used for good or greed
- Money doesn’t buy happiness but it sure does help
#6: Education is valuable, it’s not everything
- You are more than just a textbook
- Your experiences make you more valuable than the degree
- You CAN get the job with a grade 9 education
#7: What you believe, you become
- If you believe you can, you can
- If you believe you will, you will
- If you believe it will happen, it will happen
#8: Health is wealth
- Internal health will lead to external health
- Mental health is not a phase
- A healthy you is a happy you, start each day with yourself first
#9: Social media isn’t your friend
- Posts can wreck your brain, whether positive or negative
- Use it as a tool, not an outlet
- Following panda bears will bring you eternal happiness
#10: Starting over won’t kill you
- You can start over at any age, even if you think you can’t
- It’s an opportunity to start fresh, on your own terms
- Starting over isn’t as scary as it seems, you will survive
Of course, these are only a few of many more things that I’ve learned along the way but the one thing that I’ve always come back to is the importance of self love and self care.
Thank you for joining me on the 10 year anniversary of my separation, it’s been a pleasure sharing it with all of you.
Namaste 🙏🏼
