Sometimes, reliving old patterns can help you survive. After all, you are here. You are alive. But sometimes, those old patterns might be holding you back. Which habits might actually be getting in the way of helping you thrive? Which habits might be chains, holding you back? This is your chance to breathe in. And breathe out. To show up in a different way. To walk a new path. And be grateful to your wise and bold self for every new step that you take.

Welcome to a hit of hope.

It can be easy to get trapped into looking and thinking backwards.

If only,

Why did I?

How could I?

What I should have said or done was,

And sometimes reliving these old patterns can help you survive.

After all,

You are here.

You are alive.

But sometimes those old patterns might be holding you back.

You can begin to live on autopilot,

Doing what you've always done,

Getting the same results,

Fighting the same battles again and again.

Or you can choose to sit,

To notice.

Instead of having the same reaction every single time,

Breathe,

Notice what habits might actually be getting in the way of helping you thrive.

Which habits might be chains holding you back.

Sit,

Notice,

And let go of that which no longer serves you,

As comfortable as it may seem.

Sit,

Breathe,

Do not be afraid to change.

This is it.

This is your chance to stop stumbling because you are always looking backwards.

This is your chance to breathe in and breathe out,

To show up in a different way,

To walk a new path,

And be grateful to your wise and bold self for every new step that you take.

Namaste.
