The Pivot Year

by Brianna Wiest

There are two rivers running through us at all times, one that carries all the voices of the world, and the other, a single voice that stands alone—the voice of our inner guide.

Becoming yourself is soulwork. It is reaching into the deepest parts of yourself and bringing them into the light. It is asking yourself the hardest questions until you arrive at the truest answers. It is discarding some of the coping mechanisms that you no longer want to be a part of you, and being consistent with the ones you do. It is keeping your word, firstly to your self. It is learning to lean into your kindest, most beautiful parts. It is finding yourself, and building that self outward. It is taking your spirit and bringing it into form.

You cannot force healing. You can only intend it, and then allow it. In the same way that every drop from a rainstorm must find its place upon the ground, every sensation in your body must be fully processed and released.
