At times, you feel as though there must be something missing or wrong with you.
In reality, you are simply disconnected from yourself. Stop trying to fix yourself; you are not broken.
We are all wonderfully flawed and make mistakes as we are try to figure out who we are and what we want.
In life, we experience hurt and are in need of healing. Allow yourself to sit with your pain, listen to it, and explore it.
As you pay attention, you will find the answers. The more you ignore the messages, the more the pain grows.
The greater the pain, the further you stray away from your core.
Those moments when we feel shattered are the same moments that can lead us to growth and transformation.
Healing is not about fixing what is broken. It’s about rediscovering yourself as you learn from your experiences and continue to evolve.
Meditation and prayer are the ways back to finding your authentic self, which has been buried by all the external noise and distractions.
Just go within and return to yourself, to the wholeness of who you are meant to be.
You possess more strength and courage than you realize.
Be gentle on yourself and give yourself the space and the grace to become your true self.
Antoinette Giacobbe, M.A.
