I let go of my need to control and allow the Universe to do her thing.
One of the biggest ways we don't support ourselves is by not asking for support. Asking can take courage, but the reward is immense.
If you're wondering what I mean by 'miracle,' it's simple: a miracle is a shift in perspective from fear to love. A miracle can be the moment you choose to forgive your ex-lover and let go of decades of resentment, or the moment you recognize that losing your job was not a tragedy but an opportunity to follow your true calling.
Our bodies hold so much tension and resentment and sadness, so if we don't move it out of the body, we stay stuck in those negative patterns.
Whenever I'm asked about the greatest lesson I've learned, my response is, 'Happiness is a choice I make.'
There's a fine line between helping others and being a people pleaser, and mistaking one for the other can be hugely detrimental. When we put others' needs before our own, we deplete our energy, which can lead to depression, physical illness, and overwhelm.

Happiness implied a choice, and within that choice a concerted will, a lucid desire.
Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.
Stay, stay at home, my heart and rest; Home-keeping hearts are happiest.
It feels good. Kinda like when you have to shut your computer down, just sometimes when it goes crazy, you just shut it down and when you turn it on, it's okay again. That's what meditation is to me.
