MENTAL HEALTH ADVOCACY

Yes you can make it on your own!

But you don't have to...

In a world full of hurt, addiction, self resentment and punishment it can be easy to lose sight of what truly matters in this world... You.

I know this may sound foreign to some but it is a reality many live everyday; I myself have battled the crippling waters of mental illness and the systems in which we participate in for it, for what felt like most my life... until now.

Although we may never truly forget about ourselves in any moment (that’s a hard one for the anxiety ) we do forget about the beautiful being that exists within us.

We forget to nurture

to love

to practice simple self care;

we may self sacrifice or sabotage sometimes even self harm...

by the end of it all, we may not even be able to look a the person in the mirror...

This is when we have truly strayed from our inner knowing;

but that is OK,

as sometimes it truly takes getting lost to find the best way home, but it’s not till we are vulnerable enough to finally crack that the light may find its way in and guide us back.

And sometimes you won't get a choice...

You may have at some point in your life been rear ended by the universe as you tried as hard as you could to delay an inevitable. Ignored the subtle messages long enough, that action was taken for you and you had to move or start a new from where you ended up.

One way or another, you will be given many chances in your life to walk that yellow brick road home, I hope you choose that path less traveled before it is chosen for you.

This page is Beautifully Simple really,

I will wear my heart on my sleeve but use my inner knowing before I speak.

This page is to provide a positive, loving, authentic voice of support, knowledge from my years in and out of the health system and truth from my path less travelled as I navagated the world of self healing.

Creating connection for those feeling lost and weak

A voice for those that can not speak

Giving help to those in fear to seek

Or those looking for something else then your usual week to week

And if you want to engage, this is a safe space for you to voice a feeling or discover your truth.

Self awearness is that first step in your discoveries!

As when we understand our inner emotions we begin to realise the energy created from them, in this process of understanding we find the ability to self regulate and heal the body through any reactions caused by the actions life has taken.

Be aweare enough to know you choose this life and it may not be perfect but if it was we would not know imperfection, imperfection creates contrast, contrast helps us navigate our inner knowing and our inner knowing will lead us to our best life lived.

So please go easy on yourself,

know that you have a front row seat to your life but are also writing the story.

Give yourself permission to forgive yourself and those that may have hurt you. Know that forgiveness does not mean what happened was ok, but you love yourself enough to let go of pain.

Know that positivism is not meant to be perfectionism, just a practice of self love and not everyday will play out perfectly but when we, ourselves choose the lens which we see life through we may shed a better light on it.

Find peace in self love and love for others

And in love we may discover a better mentality.

Acceptance is key,

Love will come,

Happiness is already within you!
