Sometimes your “lack of motivation” is a soul protest against living a life that’s too small for who you’ve become.

As you heal yourself, you heal your relationships. Wounds lead to projection, grasping, and control. Healing leads to ownership, space, and trust. Your negative patterns will continue in your relationship until you have the courage to go toward your pain.

You don't need to get married to be happy. You don't need to have kids to be happy. You don't need to be rich to be happy. You just need to tune into yourself. Listen for what feels aligned. Take action accordingly. Let go of the outcome. And repeat. This is the recipe.

Try picking one thing and commit to it fully. Taking out the trash, writing an email, helping your child with homework. 98% is hard. 100% is easy.

Everything you do is wrong...to someone. Everything you say is wrong...to someone. Everything you believe is wrong...to someone. If your goal is to be "right" in the eyes of other people, you'll always think you're failing, or you'll always change what you stand for.

The belief that there is some future moment more worth our presence than the one we’re in right now is why we miss our lives.

There are few things more satisfying than putting your head on the pillow at the end of a long day and being so damn proud of how you’re navigating the shit storm of life.

Self-care is not always coffee, netflix, TV, and dessert. It's also facing conflict head on, detoxing your dopamine addictions, and not spending as much time on social media. Make sure your self-care habits are not simply culturally celebrated forms of coping.

Avoidance wears many outfits: - Overworking - Overanalyzing - Overhelping - Overspiritualizing All hiding one thing: "I'm not ready to feel this."

Sometimes stress is your body saying, "I can't keep performing anymore." It’s not exhaustion from too much work. It’s exhaustion from too much pretending.

You don’t build self-trust by having every answer. You build it by staying connected with yourself through every uncertainty.

Sometimes exhaustion isn’t your body needing rest, but your soul letting you know that you’re chasing something you don’t truly want anymore.

When you fight the deeper current that's trying to guide your life, it manifests itself as anxiety, depresson, resentment, and chronic illness. Yes, you may have the will, energy, and resolve to "hold it all together." But it's a false strength born from fear, not wisdom.
