I miss myself

“I miss myself”

I said these words out loud, unexpectedly last week while I was driving home

In the car, all alone, I found a potent peace in the silence and calmness of the drive. I remember taking a deep breath and feeling my shoulders relax more than they had all day. And then this reminder came tumbling out of my own mouth without warning

Sometimes we need these reality checks, these calls to listen in, to reconnect

It is so damn easy to lose ourselves to our busy schedules or to the desires of our partners, friends, family or colleagues. It can be so easy to keep burying ourselves, our thoughts, our needs, our spirits - just to keep the peace or keep others happy

Until one day our brain forces the words out of your mouth unexpectedly and before you realize exactly what happened you realize you really needed to hear those words out loud

There are so many crazy, terrible & beautiful things happening all at once in our lives and all over this planet, and I just want to remind that it is so important not to forget about *you*

Find ways to love yourself, to hold yourself, to hear and see yourself [and don’t you dare let capitalism convince you that you have to buy fancy face creams or manicures or spa days or vacations to do that!]

Whenever you can, however you can

Keep connecting deeply back to yourself: your wholeness, enoughness & fullness
