I’m Slowly Learning To Just Let Things Be For Myself

Learning

I’m learning not to force things to happen.

I’ve accepted the fact that there are a lot of things that are out of my control in life. I have placed them in the hand of God and I’ve allowed the universe to bring me what’s mine in due time. I’ve decided to let go of chasing the things in life that aren’t meant for me. I’m tired of chasing things that won’t be still and can’t be held close as my own. I believe that what’s meant for me will find me in due course of time. This does not mean I’m going to be submissive to the ways of the world, but to rather not fight a losing battle. 

learning to let it be

 I’m learning to let love find me. 

I will no longer let my love be enshrouded by clouds of doubt. I am done with the endless cycle of trying to decipher mixed signals and signs. Instead, I’m allowing the message that is as clear as day to find its way to me. The message that will not let me be second guessing anything at all. 

I’m understanding the difference between those who want me in their life and those who don’t. I am allowing those that don’t want to be in my life to walk out the door with no hesitation. I’m becoming more aware of what it is that I expect from a relationship and what I need to sacrifice in order to maintain one. I do not want to share my heart with someone that doesn’t hold it to protect it. 

I’m learning to be more grateful for life 

I’m learning that life must not be taken for granted and that I am here for a reason. No matter what my purpose in life may be, I’m learning to go and grow on this journey with a grateful heart and enthusiastic spirit. I realize how precious yet how vulnerable life is and I understand that I am capable of sharing my warmth with others and that what goes around comes around. Everyday I am learning to  appreciate the day and understand how valuable it is.

I’m learning to be patient with myself. 

I have understood the fact that there is no need to rush through life. I remind myself  to take it one day at a time. Neither will I beat myself up for the mistakes that I have made in the past nor will I let these mistakes define me. I am defined by the lessons that I learn from these mistakes and I am patient with my growth. Time will tell and I will listen. 

The wisdom that I acquire from the lessons that I have learned make me more capable to face the obstacles that may come my way. The mistakes have made me realize that I have tried to force my way into things that weren’t meant for me. 

I’m learning to stop trying so hard to control my life 

I am striving to be at peace with where life takes me on this journey and learning to accept that I do not have all the answers to the questions that race through my mind and that it’s okay. I’m learning to eventually go along with what the universe has in store for me instead of trying to have my way in everything. I am eventually understanding life has its ways of giving me what I need and not necessarily what I want. I’m learning to be grateful for all the memories, bonds, laughter,peace and pain that life has blessed me with in order to grow and look forward to more to come. 

“Turn your wounds into wisdom.” — Oprah Winfrey

As I slowly learn to just let things be and allow myself the freedom to not be so worried over the course of my life, I’m taking things one day at a time and taking it easy on myself. 

I am learning to let the force of life move me rather than forcing it instead.

How to Stop Seeking External Validation and Start Loving Yourself

Things You Need To Know To Stop Seeking External Validation

From the moment we are born, our lives depend on the approval and care of those around us. This need for acceptance is ingrained in us from birth and grows stronger as we get older which then affects our behavior, relationships and self-worth. At its core, the desire for seeking external validation is a search for love, connection, and a sense of belonging. However, when we begin relying on this external validation as our primary source of self-worth, we may find ourselves trapped in an endless loop of seeking approval that often comes at the expense of inner peace and authenticity.

Fear of Rejection? Here’s How to Finally Overcome It

Fear of Rejection? Here's How to Finally Overcome It

We often think of fear of rejection in terms of feeling cast out from the group or abandoned. This fear is a common symptom of complex ptsd, due to rejection by the primary caregiver.

However, a subtler form of rejection can make you avoid asking for what you want. You fear this perceived rejection (and it is only perception) so much that you’d rather eliminate any chance of getting what you want than ask for it.

The fear that prevents you from asking for what you want is the chance you might hear the word ‘no’. That’s because as a child, being told you couldn’t have what you wanted was so commonplace you’ve come to expect it.

That’s not to say you will never hear ‘no’ when yo
