These days I find that I try to picture myself levitating above any negative thoughts that plague my mind, as to give them no power over my state of being. I’ve struggled with addiction, depression, low self-esteem, and the fallout that stems from these varied states. I’ve also felt inadequacy, resentment, spite, and countless other poisonous sensations. I’ve almost relapsed as a result of the hardships I’ve experienced - and although I didn’t make that move, the comfort of knowing I could alleviate myself in that way was alarming enough. However, these aren’t the stories I tell myself on a day to day basis anymore. Instead I choose to lean into the high frequency energy that surrounds us daily.
Life is fleeting, but every day that we decide to live it in the way we want brings us another day closer to the goals we hope to achieve. That’s my mindset. I’m lucky to have felt the lows I’ve felt because it brought me to where I am now. This is an extremely difficult thing to try to realize while in the midst of these battles, but when the fog of negativity shrouds the road ahead of us, we must not forget that the road is still there. To that end, I do my best to trust the universe.
As long as I’m doing what makes me feel good and what makes me feel in alignment with myself, I know the universe will pull me in the direction that brings me closer to the things I truly want. This helps my mental health immensely because it allows me to let go. Practicing gratitude brings me closer to this immense sense of happiness. If you are suffering in any way, give yourself a break. Practice grace. Lean into any good feeling or thought as it takes you to the next one, and know that this too shall pass. It’s amazing that you exist. I’m grateful for all of you and everything around us.
