THRIVE (Dear Joyful Self)

I know I am thriving when my days are JOYFUL more than not. I know I am thriving when I'm full of peace + my concerns are of an optimistic vibration (and no where near worry).

Thriving is iving life to its fullest, on our own terms. When we share our unique talents + point of view.

Enjoying myself is self care.

Creativity is my self care.

I've been mapping my journey + musings back to my inner home as part of a 100 day project. Love letters  are part of this map.

Dear Joyful Self,

I know you are most free when I am creating - when I am in that zone where thoughts pass with ease.

Joyful self I love that you embrace the magic of life in every turn. Joyful self you leave worries behind and embrace each moment as freedom to just BE. Joyful self ...laughs loud ...smiles wide ...is silly ...is adventurous ...is free and doesn't take life so seriously.

You are A SMILE (of  e n t h u s i a s m ). It's when I know my happiness + wellbeing scribe my path in the land.

Perhaps a lasting JOY is wide open + accepted by ourselves as our rightful place.

no matter what we are pursuing or doing or being or sharing.

A feeling of wellbeing that brings a contentment - a pleasurable state of being that feels like reaching an inner home - where we know we are right where we need to be no matter what it looks like.

It is so joyful we want to keep expanding - we don't put restrictions on our potential.

perhaps this joy allows for all the range of emotions to be felt + lived, but it provides a homing device that brings us back into alignment.

Perhaps a lasting HAPPINESS stretches our capacity for creating + interacting + collaborating + dreaming...

Joyful self drinks in calm and ease. My joyful self knows I am DIVINE + WHOLE. My joyful self is my true self and I am so honoured to know you.

LOVE Me xx

P.S. I miss you deeply when the mind gets the best of me, but when you are here I know we are HOME. Visit often, you are eternally welcome here.

Be Wonderful

I participated in a reflective challenge hosted by Little Olive Bird on Instagram. These included open letters to Self. They all helped me to embrace myself just a bit more. So I will continue to share that series again here with additions as I see fit.

Dear Goddess Self

Dear Goddess Self,

You sound so regal almost from another time. Like you are the ancient self that comes through when I truly let go. You are a natural essence that comes through when I am just being. You often reveal glimpses of yourself when I dance or when in deep contemplation. When I am naturally confident, you are there.

I have not nurtured your presence as I should. You seem to come with an other worldliness that I can identify in others more easily than in myself. You are the I AM. You are the DIVINE. I know you are a powerful part of me that I am ready to embrace as the years pass. Perhaps wise self will show us how to drop any insecurities one by one so we can fully merge into one.

Goddess Self you are inner power, you are the magic seeker and the magic maker. You are self love and unconditional self acceptance. Thank you for guiding me into my full being. Thank you for helping me to uncover my inner wisdom.

Goddess self continue to breathe life into this body. I promise to nurture you more and show you more love. As we unleash our power in positive ways. Thank you for your MAGIC. Love ME

This is from a series of love letters I wrote to myself as prompted by Jolene - little olive bird.

Be Wonderful
