FREEDOM IS AT THE CORE OF OUR MOST PRIMAL NEEDS.
FREEDOM TO MOVE, EXPRESS, CREATE
WITHOUT CREATING HARM TO OTHERS, TO THE PLANET.
FREEDOM IS A STATE OF MIND BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE ABILITY TO CHOOSE YOUR INNER NARRATIVE, YOUR RESPONSES, YOUR NEXT ACTION.
Consider taking a few a moments today to pause, take a deep breath and remind yourself of how many obstacles and challenges you have overcome in your life. My guess is there have been A LOT.
Remember those things that you thought you’d never be able to do? Somehow you did them. The loss of loved ones that put cracks in your heart, the disappointments that took the wind out of your sails and the self-doubt that froze you so you couldn’t take another step forward, remember those? Well, they have all made you who you are today.
The thing is once we’ve overcome something we tend to forget just how amazing and resourceful we were, are and can continue to be. True freedom comes from building on these resources and choosing to focus on the people, places and things that make our lives better.
Sure, life will always hold the element of uncertainty, but the more we can create a sense of safety, inner-strength and nurture healthy connections with others and the planet, the better we can move beyond coping and instead move towards thriving.
PERSONAL FREEDOM IS AN EMBODIED STATE OF BEING THAT RESULTS FROM YOUR ABILITY TO NAVIGATE YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM & GUIDE IT INTO A DEEP SENSE OF CALM SAFETY.
MINDFUL MOVEMENT. MINDFUL BREATHING. CLEAR INTENTIONS.
You are powerful. You are resilient. You are amazing. And THAT, sweet souls, is freedom worth celebrating.
