Live in alignment to your gifts

Instead of ‘mental health’ let’s start talking ‘knowing ourself,’ and living in alignment to our own unique gifts and strengths

You are not broken. You do need to ‘be fixed’. This emotional pain is not a bad thing. It’s your deepest truest self telling you ‘this way of living and thinking is not working for you’.

You do not always need a ‘health professional’ to regulate your emotions - this is your responsibility, your birth right, and you can learn to do this. You can build your inner strengths to take control of your emotions. (Most of us just weren’t taught how to do this at school)

It’s time for change. It’s clear that how we are living and thinking is not working. These ‘medical labels’ more often encourage stuckness. (Yes of course, sometimes they are helpful, but in my view, these days they are totally overused, and now mostly unhelpful)

We can’t heal when we identify with something that doesn’t reflect our true nature

Take control back, make boundaries, do what feels more like ‘you’ even if it causes chaos around you. You are not the victim of your circumstances.

Take responsibility for your life. Responsibility breeds empowerment

We can reclaim our agenda
Nothing burns more fiercely in our soul than the desire to be ourselves and pursue our dreams

And so....
The great joys of life come when we are spontaneous and living in alignment to our gifts, and our strengths. Each day we can engage in activities that we care about

When you show up as yourself - not what society says you ‘should be’
You create the space for others to do the same

Walk in your truth

With love and compassion
