Time to bloom, it's growing season
A new start. An opportunity for a fresh beginning. It doesn't matter if this is your 1st official "fresh start" or your 27th. The main point is you're getting up and giving it a go.
2020 was not the easiest year for many of us, and so many people are saying this simply because, well, it is true. However, so many people are also celebrating how blessed they have been throughout the past year. I would like to include myself in the latter group.
I have read social media posts with people sharing that they have been blessed to have had more time to spend with loved ones, others have experienced the amazing grace of discovering their hobbies, gifts and talents. Some can testify to learning who they can rely on for meaningful relationships and have pinned their definition of the true meaning of family.
A notably precious gift for me last year has been that of health. Health in all its shapes and forms. I have said more "thank you's" in 2020 than I have my entire life, maybe.
This might be why this year I have kicked off 2021 as the same me (New Year, Same Me)!
A work of art that is continually being worked on; improved.
The Main Switch-Up
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
This year I happily acknowledge that I am the same girl I have always been, only choosing to look at life differently now.
One thing that I have come to appreciate since overcoming suicidal depression - or what I prefer to term as experiencing my spiritual awakening, simply because the two events could not have happened more simultaneously - is that no matter how hard I wished the pain away, it has, in time, proven itself necessary. So many times (if not all the time) while dealing with tough events, thoughts or feelings we defensively try to argue the unfair situation away while we list all the probably 100% true reasons why 'this should not be happening to me!' Oh, darling, there is a valuable lesson to be learned.
Life on this side (post-depression) has been relatively refreshing and has offered me some indispensable life rules - almost as a reward, it seems.
For the lifespan of this blog, my purpose is to share what I have learned and continue to learn during my metamorphosis. Here, I offer my journey of truths and how they have been shaping me for ultimate success all along. I am sharing this with you in the belief that I spread the joy of healing to anybody who needs it, as well as a front-row observation to the blessing of neurogenesis.
My 2021 declarations, themes, goals, and resolutions are heavily influenced by self-made-with-love positive affirmations moulded by the desire to combat past limiting beliefs. Even with frequent reviews of said goals, a welcome reminder repeatedly visits me with the beautiful realisation that all of life's experiences, good and very very bad, have occurred for the sole purpose of sharpening my brilliance! - "Whoa, wait, hold up," you say "surely you're not that special?!" Well, you see, the thing is, I Am. But it's not just me - YOU are too! When you come to realise this, everything changes. For the better.
