TAKE A LESSON FROM NATURE - CHOOSE TO BE RESILIENT

Sometimes life can be challenging and situations can become overwhelming to the degree that you just want to throw up your hands and walk away from it all. It is during those times when you're attempting to navigate it all that you need to sit with intention in the midst of it all and breathe. Take slow deliberate soul deep breaths from  your diaphragm, loosen each slowly and reshape your perspective. Remember...

• You are not alone, though at times you may feel that way. Beware that's the trick, to may you feel it's helpless and hopeless.
• You are worthy. You are enough right now in this moment and in every moment that follows.

Do NOT let shame and pride shape or define your behaviour. Set it aside, silence the negative dialogue in your head or it will paralyze and isolate you.  Ask for help. I'll let you in on a well known secret (contradictory I know) NOBODY does it alone! Nobody, we all need a hand up at some point, there is absolutely no shame in that.

I take my inspiration from nature - flowers, there continue rebirth every season,  the sun and it infinite determined resilience that burst through the clouds everyday single day without fail, no matter what. It's hues displaying spectacularly. It reminds me each day is another opportunity to shift, to create something different, to renew and to live. It reminds me that God is watching and that every new rise is the epiphany of hope.

Keep the faith and like air, continue to rise.
