Kindle Notes & Highlights
be honest with yourself about where you are going
the end goal should not distract you from taking each step with intention
the inward journey has sparked your evolution opened your perspective to a new level of clarity and each connection you cherish now
there are times when all you can do is survive moments when growing doesn’t even seem like an option and healing feels hundreds of miles away the trauma and old hurt can weigh so heavily that all you can do is try to stay afloat, to endure another day if existing takes every ounce of your energy, then that alone is heroic work
people who have revived themselves after almost drowning in trauma do not get enough credit even though the pain was massive they did not stay stagnant or become bitter they knew the only way out was the path of healing and they used it to start a new life
the biggest rewards usually come from having the guts and perseverance to create your own path
i thought the trauma had broken me but really it gave my life direction the toxicity made me embrace communication and honesty the manipulation made me realign with my own power the narcissism showed me that selflessness is needed the chaos taught me to build boundaries the hurt showed me that healing and rebirth are possible
Para leer en el vivo.
the magic happens once you accept that you can’t regulate others’ emotions or experiences that’s when you begin to live your most authentic life some people will not “get” you, but what matters is that you get you be kind, help others, and don’t forget to live for yourself
great changes are not meant to be easy; they arise to inspire your growth
“speak your truth” does not mean “speak your ego”
love is much bigger than relationships love is the way you heal yourself, the kindness you give others, the gentleness you give yourself in turbulent times, the space you hold for close friends, the intention with which you live in the present, and the energy that changes the world love is every moment that elevates the human experience and all the small things that make life shine
manage your reactions but do not suppress your emotions
the clearest red flag is if they are consistently bringing out the worst in you the hard truth is that a connection doesn’t automatically lift you up sometimes it aggravates the roughest parts of your old conditioning and brings things to the surface in an unhealthy way
lean on the fact that you are more than a survivor. you are more than your past. you are more than what hurts. old habits do not define you. you are a hero who is ready to emerge. your transformation will inspire others to do the hard things they need to do to thrive. even if this moment is a struggle,
you know the inner work is paying off when you can see your ego trying to make a mess of things but you have enough resilience and awareness to choose peace instead of chaos
sometimes we go back to our old life for a little while to remember that it no longer fits
fear and its manifestations push us to overanalyze and place us in unhealthy mental loops that increase our tension. this is
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
the challenge you face is building enough self-awareness so that you can actively and repeatedly say no to your past when it wants to take over. saying no to your past doesn’t mean suppressing it; it just means that you will let yourself feel whatever has come up, but you make the choice to allow your present self to remain the dominant force.
the days of letting your old fears and anxieties make all the decisions for you are over. a new time has arisen where you are patiently creating room so that your present self can decide what actions will keep you on a path that is truly nourishing and liberating. it is time to let the past rest and fully embrace the present.
when you decide to let yourself feel, unbind, and let go, you naturally start receiving life with gentler hands. the quest you take to free your heart from the past simultaneously elevates your future and improves your ability to love.
just because you feel a connection with them does not mean they are right for you the hard truth is that you need more than a spark to build a home attraction is common, but fitting together like two pieces of a puzzle is rare
your emotional history isn’t just a set of memories there are imprints in your subconscious, habit patterns and blockages caused by how you reacted to what you felt in the past healing is the unbinding and unloading of your emotional history through acceptance and letting go
as you learn to feel your emotions and better manage your reactions, the next empowering step is to bring harmony to your interactions, not by attempting to control others but by maintaining a balanced energy even when others invite you to join their turbulence. living in your peace will welcome others to choose peace as well.
