It's never just one thing to reach reclaim your health your true self... its much deeper than that.
While like so many other people out there, there was a time when I too wished that there was a magic pill that you could take, easily solving all of your problems in a manner of seconds, but this just isn't realistic or possible. Yet if it did exist, how many of us would not have learnt some very valuable and worldly lessons that have shaped us to become the person we are today. The journey is always so much more than just the end goal, it’s what we find out about ourselves along the way that becomes the truth of our souls. It takes time and love, forgiveness, anger, fear, courage, faith, sadness, grief and more love to heal. Its messy and dirty and confrontational but isn't all of life like this? If we didn’t have the messy, the sadness, the grief, how could we understand the periods of our life that we felt love, happiness and joy or even when we were able to find the courage to see ourselves all of ourselves without having met fear. Healing also isn't just eating a whole tub of berries (although this is delicious), or doing yoga once a month or sipping a green tea in the morning (whilst these things are amazing and they will help,) healing is so much deeper than this. It's never going to be a quick fix, it can't be found in the latest magic superfood berry or a pretty packaged slimming tea. It comes from a place of balance and acknowledgement from deep within. It's about eating foods from the earth, foods that provide our earth body with nourishment as we are of the same dirt and stars. It's about taking time out in nature to find and connect back to who you are, it's our thoughts and feelings and allowing them to express through you in your most authentic way. If you want to dance then I say dance the night away, if you want to run, then run forest run, if you want to cook then I say eat your heart out Julia Child and if you want to Garden then I say Grow my pretties Grow!. It is only when we combine all of this and all the parts of ourselves and see it all as neither good nor bad, it just simply is me, beautiful wild me, that we start to see healing on a deep level. When we take control of every aspect of our life and accept and understand that we make our own lives happen and we are responsible for the change, healing will begin. So be brave on this quest of true self discovery and know that its not just about the food we eat, the yoga we do, the nature we embrace, the self expression we create, the thoughts and emotions we navigate but a combination of all. And remember above all do what makes you feel happy from the inside out and love with all your heart, love yourself and then love others, love the ground, the dirt, the trees, the food you eat, the animals, love all that makes you feel alive. As Marie Kondo says if it doesn’t spark joy then discard it, so find that thing that sparks the most intimate joy from within your soul and become all that you have ever dreamed, for a dream is a wish your heart makes and your heart, that was gifted from the stars, is never wrong.
