How exhausting this week has been, to appear to be well!...

What can be done when your emergency contact is you. And you are not in the best conditions....

Feeling afraid does not make us weak, it makes us a being in full personal growth, and this emotion is the confirmation that we are leaving behind what we knew to do something totally new.

Let's not be scared with fear, personally when I am afraid, the valid thing, I listen to him and I say: I thank you fear, for trying to take care of me, but today I decide to move forward.

And life starts right there, a step beyond what we can control.

Fear keeps us safe, but action keeps us alive. Do you know why? Why feel afraid, it's okay, and it's natural, normal to act and move forward. In addition, fear is one señal.de that we are crossing the border of the known.

What if what happened to you is not because you were afraid or because of bad luck? It may be that some things that you have had to live through were not the result of bad luck, but of choices that you made even with fear.

We can all have a "bad time”, no doubt about it. But, when someone lives from tragedy to tragedy there is almost certainly more, there is an individual responsibility that we do not admit.

The changes are not as we imagine them, as much as we would like to have control over how things happen, most of the changes do not ask for permission, they do not warn and yet we have to deal with their consequences.

Changes are an essential part of life, and refusing this is like denying reality. Holding on to things being the way we know or want it takes a huge toll on our personal, family, social life.

I'm not late, I'm getting there at my own pace, my process is unique and every step I take slowly, is a firm step towards my well-being.

Going at my own pace doesn't mean I'm stuck, it means I'm respecting my own processes and my wounds with my own tools.

A slow but conscious step is a more solid step than a thousand quick steps taken because others put pressure on me. What I do know is that I am on time in my own story, when I take a breath I realize that I'm not late, I just do it at my own pace.

There are so many things going on at once, I don't understand how I'm sane! And it is not that how does my heart endure, but how does my head endure, how does my stomach endure? I know that my intuition is not exact... but more and more I realize that if I should pay attention to it.

Thinking without deciding is tiring. Senseless decision burns. The way out is not to force ourselves to exhaustion, it's to map out what we can do today with what we already have.
