The Way Forward (The Inward Trilogy)

by Yung Pueblo

9 things that hold great power: rest kindness meditation vulnerability healing yourself being honest with others embracing lifelong growth fostering deep connections giving without wanting in return

if you listen closely to your hurt, it will say “there is a better way than this” and all you have to do is respond “show me, i’m ready”

don’t let craving make you forget: you are already whole

you need to do more than eat nourishing food, exercise, and rest to feel your best you also need to be around good people, spend time healing your emotional history, live in alignment with your values, say no to people-pleasing, stay open to growth, and deeply embrace change

your intuition will lead you outside your comfort zone so that you can grow

4 ways to remain in alignment: don’t listen to the feeling that you need to perform for others say no to situations that burn way too much of your energy surround yourself with people who love the authentic you let your intuition guide you, not your fears or cravings

there is no set timeline or path to healing because each heart is unique. what you can do is work on your self-love: give yourself what you have been seeking from others; feed your needs; connect with good friends and find joy in the small moments of life. self-love is especially important because it is a gateway to letting go of the past.

refusing to give your temporary feeling an unjustified narrative or any control is a powerful way to love someone well

ask yourself: in what areas of your life do you find yourself clinging to control? how would being more open to change affect your relationships? is there an unchangeable situation that you are working on accepting? what can you currently do to love yourself better? in what ways have you been living intentionally recently?
