GO LIGHTLY THROUGH LIFE
🚨 attention all my fellow highly sensitive people, recovering perfectionists, people pleasers, and performers. This message is for us!
Maybe things feel heavy and painful because we’re trying so hard.
We muscle through and try to make everything work. To make our job, relationships, health, and our entire experience better.
We give our all to others, and to the way we think things should be.
We allow the world’s pressures and standards to drown out our inner voice.
Things feel hard because we forget to move through life lightly.
We can’t find joy or peace because we’re too focused on the pressure, control, and effort we feel is needed to survive.
But what if we let all that go?
Maybe what we really need is to look at life differently.
To approach our circumstances, relationships, and work lightly.
As we put down the weight of all the pressure, all the doing, we start to see what was there all along.
Ease and flow.
Laughter and silliness.
Awe and wonder.
The gift of life itself.
So go lightly, my friend. Go lightly and be free.
Wishing you much love and healing 😘
A special thanks to my dear friend and yoga teacher for sharing this poem. You always share messages that speak directly to my heart ♥️
