Hello, long time no talk. I went on a hiatus for some months. Sometimes life can cause shifts to your direction. Everything you knew before is all of the sudden lost, shadows cast over what was once meaningful and makes you question, if you are really on the right track. I've been there recently. I have been diagnosed with a small low-grade glioma. My brain became fearful, disguised as urgency. I have a lot of time, but somehow it felt like I needed to do everything I possibly could before time runs up. We aren't promised tomorrow and we never were, even in good health. I grew cynical about life for a short time. "Who cares, we are only going to die anyway." I avoided reflection, and anything that had to do with thinking about life, scared of things I made up in my head. I felt depression in ways I had never felt before ...On the other side of this, after a few months, I made peace with myself, I've loved harder, listened longer, chose kindness. I've accepted all the parts of me, even the parts I had always hated. I've accepted my debt, I've accepted my life as it is, I've accepted and forgave people I never thought I could. I was drawn back into the Intention Project recently. My intentions changed, and that is okay. You are never supposed to stay the same and sometimes stepping away to take care of yourself brings clarity out of confusion. I look forward to continuing my journey with the intention project. -Thank you for being part of this.

If I could write a letter to my younger self, I think the first thing I’d say is… You don’t have to carry everything alone. I know you’re trying so hard to hold it all together. I know you think being “strong” means ignoring your pain, pushing through exhaustion, pretending you’re okay, and keeping everyone else happy while slowly losing yourself in the process. But one day you’ll realize that surviving isn’t the same thing as living. You’ll learn that rest is important. That boundaries matter. That not everyone is meant to stay in your life. That your thoughts aren’t always telling you the truth and that healing starts the moment you stop running from yourself. I’d tell you to stop being so hard on yourself for not having everything figured out yet. You’re allowed to grow slowly and to change your mind. Also, your allowed to outgrow old versions of yourself and even ask for help. There will be moments where life breaks you open, but those moments will also rebuild you into someone more grounded, self-aware, compassionate, and intentional. And despite everything you’ve been through…you make it. So here’s your reminder today: If you could write one message to your younger self… what would you say? Write it in the comments. Someone else might need to hear it too. ❤️

The “Wheel of Life” really made me realize something… Most of us focus on just ONE area of life and expect it to magically make us happy. We chase success while neglecting our health. We focus on relationships while ignoring ourselves. We build careers while running on fumes emotionally. But life isn’t one category. It’s a wheel. 🛞 Social Life Professional Life Creativity Purpose in Life Emotional Life When one part is completely flat… eventually you feel it everywhere else too. The goal isn’t perfection. The goal is awareness. To check in with yourself honestly and ask: “What area of my life needs more attention right now?” Sometimes growth looks like ambition. Sometimes it looks like taking a nap, drinking water, and finally answering that text from your mom. 😂 What area of your wheel needs the most love right now?

Most people think mindfulness means sitting silently and “clearing your mind.” It’s actually about becoming aware of your thoughts, emotions, habits, and reactions instead of living on autopilot. And that awareness changes everything. ✨ The benefits of mindfulness: • Reduced stress and anxiety. You stop reacting to every thought and start responding with intention. • Better emotional control. Mindfulness helps you pause before spiraling, exploding, shutting down, or self sabotaging. • Increased focus and clarity. Your attention stops being pulled in 100 different directions all day. • Improved relationships. You become more present, patient, and connected in conversations instead of distracted or emotionally reactive. • Better physical health. Mindfulness has been linked to improved sleep, lower stress levels, reduced tension, and nervous system regulation. • More gratitude and fulfillment. You begin appreciating your life instead of constantly chasing the next thing. • Stronger self awareness. You start noticing the patterns, beliefs, and behaviours that are keeping you stuck. Mindfulness doesn’t magically remove hard emotions or difficult seasons. It teaches you how to stay grounded while moving through them. A mindful life is not a perfect, it’s about a more intentional one. What’s one thing that helps you feel more present lately? 👇
