Relax your spirit, nothing is more important than you right now

There’s a pure and raw form of healing that doesn’t get a lot of fanfare. It’s the type that says, “relax your spirit, be at ease, there’s nothing more important than you right now.”

That’s not selfish: it’s protection, it’s preservation... it’s nourishing to your heart, your body, and your mind.

It’s also no longer caring about how perfect your makeup or hair looks, or how deep your wrinkles are or how hairy your chin may look because your hormones have changed with age, or if you have fuzzies on your shirt because your hoodie still sheds.

The outward becomes less important, and your desire for inner peace and a more purposeful existence reaches critical mass.

This shift doesn't happen overnight. It's a gradual awakening, like dawn breaking slowly across a quiet landscape. You start noticing how exhausting it was to perform, to constantly measure yourself against impossible standards, to seek approval from people who were too busy seeking their own validation to truly see you. The mirror becomes less of a judge and more of a gentle witness to your purposeful becoming.

You begin to understand that the energy you once spent on appearances was borrowed from your soul. Every moment spent worried about what others might be thinking was a moment stolen from your own peace.

Now, that energy flows back to where it belongs - into your healing, your growth, your authentic self.

Validation doesn’t feed you, busyness doesn’t appeal to you, and relationships don’t define you.

The only thing that stirs your spirit now is wholeness, within and without.

Life becomes easier and more free. Chaos comes to an end, and a mysterious gentleness invades your life. It permeates through and through, resting its simplicity in the vulnerable, receiving core of your being.

It’s the reset, the beginning of your true objective: to rest in love, to live in peace, to be in purpose.

And I hope it finds you just as it has found me ♡
