Leave it in August

5 days agoEdited to

As August closes, it's a powerful moment to reflect on what no longer serves our well-being. Personally, I've found that consciously leaving behind overthinking and the habit of trying to please everyone has been transformative. These patterns not only drain our peace but also keep us stuck in unhealthy cycles. Embracing self-awareness helps in identifying such habits and taking intentional steps toward change. One of the most freeing experiences is learning to stop seeking external validation. Instead, cultivating self-compassion and confidence enables us to live authentically. Living in the past or making excuses can prevent us from experiencing the present fully. By consciously releasing these mental barriers, I've felt more connected to my goals and inner peace. Comparison is another thief of joy. Reminding myself that everyone's journey is unique keeps me grounded and focused on personal growth rather than competition. This process is not a one-time event but a continuous commitment to nurturing growth and inviting blessings into life. Celebrating small wins and being patient with oneself are key to sustaining this positive change. Leaving these detrimental habits behind before September opens the door to a more peaceful and fulfilling chapter.

I was toxic to my relationship

I hate to even think about it, let alone admit it but I was the toxic one in my marriage. It took me 10 years of my marriage to finally change. In August of 2020, my husband was fed up with my attitude and the way I treated him so he told me that I HAD to get help or else he would leave. So

The image for July describes the lie of acting secure while obsessively needing reassurance, and the truth of loving deeply but expecting abandonment, leading to self-sabotage and fear of distance.

The August image details the lie of effortless confidence and success, contrasting with the truth of acting confident due to fear of weakness, constant self-doubt, and terror of being ordinary.

The September image presents the lie of appearing organized and capable, while the truth reveals being everyone's unheard therapist, barely holding on, and brutal self-criticism.
