I moved out of my home state for 7 years. The lives and chapters I led were astounding. The material gains and losses ebbed and flowed.

I relocated to my home state 3 years ago after a very heartbreaking parting of a loved one as well as an immense spiritual awakening/psychotic break.

I finally admitted to myself that I needed my family. I needed childhood familiarity and comfort.

Sometimes life throws you those curve balls.

It takes great strength to swallow pride and give in. To ask for that help.

Fast forward, I have FINALLY moved into my own home again!!! Three years of hard work, mental stability with regular medication, consistent therapy and solid prayer. I DID IT.

I blasted through the barriers that I may have self imposed but also maybe were there for another reason unexplained..

As I unpack my boxes and begin to settle and decorate - that is the fun part after all. I find myself really fine tuning the items I’ve carried along the years.

I no longer resonate with some of the stories, the pieces or chapters of whom I have been. Other items I discover I keep and realize those are the parts of me that were once so dark that now seem so light.

A glistening scar when the sun hits.

So, I began to question ..

Luggage Vs Baggage..

How much do I truly carry? Would I pack it in a suitcase for vacation? Does it benefit my future? Does it benefit my Well being? Or is it weighing me down?

Alas, my diagnoses is a Blessing. It took years to recover and embrace and accept.

Nonetheless, I AM HERE!

“Adulting”, Living, Breathing, Thriving.

I choose the Luggage, any day. #conqueryourmind #BipolarDisorder #mentalwellbeing #MentalHealth #Recovery

Hey everyone!

As we navigate life's challenges, it's easy to get caught up in following rules, norms, or expectations. But today, I want to remind you of a powerful truth:

Do what is necessary, not just because it's written.

Don't let external expectations dictate your path. Instead, listen to your inner voice, your values, and your needs.

Ask yourself:

- What truly aligns with my goals and well-being?
- What steps will move me closer to my desired outcomes?
- What choices will bring me peace, growth, and fulfillment?

Remember, your journey is unique. Don't be bound by limitations or constraints that don't serve you.

Take ownership of your decisions and actions. Empower yourself to:

Break free from unnecessary obligations
Challenge societal norms
Create your own rules

You are capable of achieving greatness. Trust yourself and make choices that nourish your mind, body, and soul.

Share with us:

- What's one thing you're doing today because it's necessary for your growth?
- How are you breaking free from external expectations?

Let's rise above limitations and conquer our minds together!

This phrase resonates deeply - 'Death can have me when it earns me.' It's a declaration of defiance, a statement of self-worth, and a commitment to living life on our own terms.

It means:

We won't let death take us without a fight
We'll live life with purpose and intention
We'll earn every moment, every breath

Share with us what this phrase means to you. How do you plan to earn your life, to make every moment count?"

As we journey through life, we encounter people from all walks of life, each carrying their own burdens and scars. But how often do we truly open our hearts to their suffering?

In a world where empathy is often in short supply, it's easy to get caught up in our own struggles and forget that others are fighting their own battles. But what if we made a conscious effort to change that?

"Open Your Heart To Their Suffering" is more than just a phrase - it's a call to action. It's a reminder that we have the power to make a difference in someone's life simply by being present and compassionate.

So, let's make a commitment to ourselves and to others to:

Listen without judgment
Offer kindness without expectation
And to see the humanity in everyone we meet

By opening our hearts to others' suffering, we can create a ripple effect of empathy and understanding that can change the world.

*Reflection Questions:*

- Who in my life is struggling, and how can I open my heart to their suffering?
- What are some ways I can practice empathy and compassion in my daily life?
- How can I create a safe space for others to share their struggles and feel heard?

*Take Action:*

- Reach out to someone you know who's struggling and offer a listening ear
- Volunteer your time to help those in need
- Practice mindfulness and self-compassion to increase your own emotional capacity for empathy

Let's conquer our minds and open our hearts to the suffering of others. Together, we can create a more compassionate and empathetic world.

How often do we get caught up in superficial appearances, only to miss the true essence of something? Whether it's a person, a situation, or an experience, it's easy to get distracted by the surface level.

But what if we shifted our focus to the underlying nature of things? What if we looked beyond the form and explored the substance?

Today, let's challenge ourselves to dig deeper. Let's seek to understand the true essence of the world around us, rather than getting caught up in appearances.

Share with us:

- A time when you looked beyond the surface level and discovered something new
- A situation where you're struggling to see beyond the form
- How you plan to focus on the essence, not the appearance, in your daily life

Let's conquer our minds and uncover the truth that lies beneath the surface! #conqueryourmind #EssenceOverForm #NatureOverAppearance

When faced with challenges, it's natural to feel overwhelmed. But panic can be a major obstacle to progress. Instead of letting fear take control, learn to harness it.

Channel your energy into focus, determination, and action. Let the adrenaline rush fuel your resilience and drive.

Remember, every crisis is an opportunity for growth. So, take a deep breath, steady your mind, and conquer the moment.

Share with us:

How do you handle moments of crisis? What strategies help you stay focused and in control?

A powerful reminder that our experiences shape us, but they don't dictate our future. We have the power to learn from our past, rise above it, and create a new path forward.

Share with me: How do you separate your past from your present and future? What drives you to keep moving forward?
