Harmony

To live in harmony is to find a positive state of inner peace, calmness and balance. The operative word here being ‘balance’. Falling into a harmonious rhythm of acceptance between faith, love, hardship or adversity. Though a juxtaposition of sorts, it’s possible to have space for both commodities. In order to appreciate the whirlwind of affairs life offers, first you must begin with healing the inner parts of your heart and soul. This is a process, like an ongoing podcast. Shifting, shaping and welcoming new installments of treasured memories used for growth and learning. I like to face heartache knowing that nothing is permanent in this life. Each day provides change and an opportunity to cultivate more awareness of self. This notion has deepened my understanding of self-compassion and allows me to welcome those unwanted feelings of sadness to occur free of judgment. I find that I am able to move through life’s obstacles with a strength like never before. I am brave. I am strong. I am resilient. I am loved. Utilizing this mantra creates an inner confidence I never watered before. Believing in myself was the ultimate step of credence. 

As a woman, I believe we are capable of so much more than the limitations of our mind. Pushing beyond these barriers can be really unsettling as the ‘uncertainty’ of jumping into uncharted territory causes us to be comfortable in complacency. This means making changes in the rigidity of our routine and structure. Disruptions are an open door to dive further into active learning. 

Try adding something new to your daily living. Master a skill, meditate, practice yoga, read a book, dance like no one is watching or sing loudly to your favourite song. Embrace the inner child that deserves to be celebrated. Find joy in the small spaces of life and magnify them to their fullest potential. 

New beginnings make space for a beautiful expansion of self.
