As we end a week of RUOK day and women's mental health week I think it's important to reflect.. that although people may "look" like they have it together under that smile, everyone has their own stuff going on under the surface and you never know the impact of just one smile..quick check in.. small compliment..invitation.. thank you or phone call could mean to them.

This photo was taken over 10 years ago.. I was 21 years of age and masking internal troubles with people pleasing, putting others first before myself, excessive positivity, staying quiet to avoid conflict and filling a void with being externally focused on my appearance.. the makeup, the perfect hair, the tan, the nails, the number of "friends" I had, the late nights out with friends drinking away my knowing that I was destined for more if I only stopped and turned inward and did the work.... now...

I listen to my intuition and follow the little whispers of life. I'm still learning to love the inside and outside of me, allowing myself to be vulnerable, speak my truth, step outside of my comfort zone and show my emotions... It's a life long journey that I first had to make the time and choose to invest in me and second, to choose wisely the energy I surrounded myself with and follow more of the ease, the lightness, the joy and the glory of me.. thanks to my tribe of people who showed me the light of life, who made me see the brilliance that already shines in me and my contribution to this world. If it wasn't for my commitment and dedication to myself and the supportive tribe of people I choose to surround myself with.. I still would be walking around like my 21 year old self..an empty she'll, shut off from new possibilities and the greatness of me.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Taken from 'For the fallen' by Laurence Binyon 1914

Anxiety comes in many forms, all different to each one,
From constant mind chatter, overwhelm and feeling life undone.
It takes patience to learn your triggers and how it overtakes you from within.
Listen in dear one, catch the patterns before they overtake and win.
For me, it's as simple as a change of plans that's got me hooked right now,
I struggle with simple changes, it leaves me feeling down.
My life isn't always like this, I see the rainbows in the storm,
It's just a phase and know this isn't quite my norm.
This message I share to for you to know your not alone.
And together with our stories we can navigate the unknown.
If I could heed myself advice in this time of need,
I would write a letter to myself and this what it would read,
Dear Kristie, You won't be here for long,
You will soon again sing your happy song.
Turn your focus inwards to yourself, it's what matters now,
Turn away from the why and knowing all the how.
You cannot give from an empty cup,
so what do you need to fill it up?
Do what feels light and makes you laugh,
Like yoga, tea and long hot baths.
Keep the mind chatter and overthinking at bay,
You know deep down the truth of what people say.
You have forgotten about yourself for a while, and now its time show,
How to give yourself the care and love you need to let go and grow.
Let go of all that's heavy now and make way for the light,
Do your daily gratitudes and do what makes you bright.
Let go of all the past, for we do not live here,
Be grateful for what you have and watch more of that appear.
Withdraw from talking about your problems, instead your goals and aspirations,
As you become more present watch for dissipated expectations.
Let that which has held you back fall away,
And make way for you to shine another day.
You have known all along what you have to do,
You just need this gentle reminder that it's all inside of you.

From your inner knowing.

Here is to 2022. Year of growth, ease and more peace. Being our full selves and listening more deeply to others and allowing all.

As the winds of change are felt,
The next hand of life is dealt.
The waves they crash upon the shore line,
While we reflect on what we've called "mine".
The tides they can turn and challenge our catch.
With the demons of the sea, we may have met our match.
The Ocean it calms and balances our soul,
And helps us find clarity to push for our goal.
The sand between our toes it helps us to ground,
To come back home within and be found.
A sigh of relief as the wind washes away the chatter,
To leave behind only the tiniest matter.
For nature, I am grateful you fill me right up,
I leave with a full self love cup.
Here is to the new year and the continual growth,
A year of more ease and peace is my oath.

Each day is a new chance for the sun to shine on a new perspective.
I share my story to lift others higher,
Just know your not alone.
Abandonment stories run deep in my veins,
A fear of being left behind,missing out or being forgotten.
A continual journey to heal,
I am learning to sit with myself and enjoy.
I get triggered, it takes me over like a cyclone in my stomach,
A life without expectations and judgement I thrive for..
It's a continual journey to a whole happier me.
These uncomfortable feelings make me want to run for the hills,
But I sit and ask myself questions and work through how I feel.
I listen to my body and heart, trying to escape the chatter of the mind.
If I let it, it will drift me away to cloudy waters.
I seek that state of equilibrium and contentment,
I won't give up on that.
I won't allow my false beliefs to take me over.
I believe in myself, there is something bigger and better for me then this.
In vulnerability there is strength.

Little dark cloud ☁️

This anxiety controls me, it tells me things I know aren't true,
It clouds what I can see, and leaves me feeling blue.

I breathe, I journal, I meditate,
But nothing seems to work,
These anxiety symptoms on Google, I sure can relate.

I'm jittery and jumpy, my thoughts they tend to race,
I jump to past and future, dreading the uncertainty I might face.

It Churns my guts, I feel out of control,
It makes my soul feel sad.
I have many things to be grateful for,
But this dark cloud can make me mad.

Sometimes I feel I'm not myself,
The things it makes me do and say,
I wish I could think clearer but it's standing in my way.

This anxiety it haunts me, making me feel down and blue,
I know there's no immediate threat, but my mind tells me, it's not true.

I'm known for my positivity, but lately life's got me down.
With no consistency, I feel out of control,
My smile turned into a frown.

I presently know, this is not the real me, but try telling that to your mind.
It's a challenge to let go, trusting what the next day finds.

I am grateful for my support group, you have shown me a way,
They help me process my emotions, shining light everyday.

I meditate and journal to help me rest in bed.
The sun goes down, my thoughts subside,
no thinking in my head.

I gratitude journal, sit with tea and take a long hot bath,
My friends they lift me higher with their gifts and their laughs.

As time is passing and I let go, this black cloud falls away,
Standing strong, I fight my mind saying, "I'll conquer you one day"!

Sound healing helps me to relax, recharge and reset. I go at least 3 times a year. Today I wandered in the walking tracks of Mt Glorious listening to the wind, the birds, feeling the earth under my feet. When finally reaching the mountain peak and lay down. I felt a remarkable stillness, peacefulness, in sync with nature as it swirled around me and the sound of the crystal bowls, wind chimes and gongs. Thank you for walking into my life and filling it with joy, peace and stillness.
