I read this poignant quote this morning and felt it was something I wanted to share. In the hope that it reaches others and sparks a seed of something wonderful. So many of my clients are unique and beautiful in their own right but the noise of other peoples opinions and judgement seem to cause more harm and limitations than good. Life for us all, is a paradox, at times hard, debilitating and all consuming yet equally at other times so wondrous, beautiful, and again all consuming. However, somewhere in amongst those extremes there is a balance, a flow of just being, where we allow ourselves to be kind and nuturing to ourselves. So, perhaps after reading this same quote, and as a starting point, even if its just for today, open your awareness a little and allow yourself your own self-care ……. YOU ARE ENOUGH
“Let whatever you do today be enough. Let go of the judgement you have about what you should be or could be doing, and today, allow yourself to simply be. Comparing yourself and your journey may be habitual, but it gets you nowhere. It makes you feel worse and it keeps you stuck. So stop fixating on where everyone else is, and start giving yourself permission to be exactly where you are. Quiet the voice telling you to do more and be more, and trust that in this moment, who you are, where you are at, and what you are doing is enough. You will get to where you need to be in your own time. Until then, breathe. Breathe and be patient with yourself and your process. You are doing the best you can to cope and survive amid your struggles, and that’s all you can ask of yourself. It’s enough. You are enough.” – Daniell Koepke
