My path lately is very similar to the — trying to fit yourself back into a box you don’t fit in anymore. I feel like I am grieving? Or I am anxious about the future. Maybe a mix of both.
Also, I am trying to lead myself in a direction uncharted. So there is a lot of fear wrapped in the not knowing.
I’m trying the “move your body, and the mind will follow” method but I am barely “moving” minus moving cities..
Anyways! Thank you so much for sharing. Your writing is wonderful, a joy to read.
Alivia, thank you for sharing a piece of your story. I know those times can be difficult and scary to navigate. But the fact that you’re here, reading this, shows that you’re self-aware and have the courage to follow your heart and that’s already a big win. Not many people do that.
Yes, it can absolutely be a mix of both, and that’s completely normal. Don’t shut down those feelings. Instead, try sitting with them. Ask them what they’re trying to tell you. What can you learn from them? Acknowledge them, let them be, and then gently let them go.
If I may share something that works wonders for me: place your hands on your heart, really feel it, and tell yourself with love and confidence, that you trust yourself and that you will know what to do. You are divine, and you can do this. Even if your mind can’t fully grasp how right now, trust that you’re not alone. You’re always being guided, by your heart, your soul, and your intuition.
I hope that brings even a little comfort on your journey. And thank you for the kind words about my writing. 🫶
I feel so moved by this text. By how you shared your experience. As a new mom, altough i wanted to become a fulltime sahm, I was also in a continuous fight with me, with my conditioning. And didn’t knew how to appreciate that luxury, because inside i felt desperate, actually. I’m still untangling what’s my path. Finding clues, paving steps ahead, trying to figure out. But yeah, motherhood can hit so hard. On one’s identity and …challenging one’s subconscious limiting beliefs adopted.
Mara, once again, thank you for taking the time to share part of your journey. We often hold on to ideas of how things should be and how they’re supposed to unfold, but as you said, that mostly challenges our minds.
What has helped me most so far is coming back to my heart, talking to God (in whatever way you define it), and truly feeling that connection. That’s when I can shift from my head to what my soul is really inviting me to do.
On another note, be compassionate with yourself. This experience of being mothers, none of us really know how to do it. We’re figuring it out as we go. We have to remind ourselves that we’re students of this journey, and that simple truth can take a lot of pressure off.
If you change your mind, that’s okay. You’re allowed to. Just do what feels right for you in this moment, even if it changes tomorrow. Trust yourself and know that your willingness to do your best from the heart is more than enough. Sending love 🫶✨
I felt this deep in my bones. Experimenting with different versions of myself, travelling to meet myself in different situations, breaking up with people who knew a different version of me, becoming a mother... that was a big one. An important conversation around a journey that can feel quite isolating. Thanks for sharing xx
Simone! Thank you for sharing a piece of your process with me! It also helps me to remember that we aren’t alone, and we can support each other when we are willing to open up, be real and share from our hearts! 🫶
