🖤 [ 22 years ago ]

I embrace the darkness, for it reveals the light within my soul.

We’ve normalized feeling "sluggish" as just a byproduct of a busy life. We accept the morning bloating, the unexplained brain fog, and the heavy, tired legs as "just how it is."

It’s not. It’s likely your internal pH signaling for a reset. ⚖️

In a world of processed convenience and high-stress micro-moments, our bodies often slip into acidification. It’s a quiet state of imbalance that triggers water retention and drains your battery before the day even starts. Real vitality isn't about adding more caffeine; it’s about removing the burden.

Feminine beauty doesn’t ask for permission. It exists in the details, in strength, in softness, and in chaos.

It’s a light that comes from within, a story written in the eyes, courage wrapped in skin.

It doesn’t fit into standards, can’t be measured by labels, and isn’t limited by mirrors.

I recently found this concept called inner-work and it interested me. So I decided that I wanted to give it a try. I made notes from various sources on how to do this and I wanted to share. I would also like to add that some of you should still go to therapy and this is not meant to replace that. Enjoy~ 

Definition: Inner-work is shaping your emotions, beliefs, and attitudes to create a healthier and happier version of yourself. Its about adjusting and correcting your mindset so that it helps you better facilitate your goals.

Steps to Take:

1 ~ Start with a clear goal

2 ~ Identify your mental blocks

Idea: Free writing can help you with this

3 ~ Create self-awareness and re-frame your thoughts

Idea: Create affirmations or mantras

4 ~ Work on inner-work consistently

Idea: Reading books, journaling, gentle exercise, enjoying nature, fasting, and meditating.

5 ~ Learn how to properly self-soothe

When Journaling: Ask yourself questions like who, what, when, where, why, and how?

Inner-work is an internal journey to explore our inner self to understand, to heal, and to finally transform it. Every person’s journey will be different so learn to appreciate your own knowing that it will help you become the woman you are meant to become.

- Find your triggers

- Observe without judgement

The emotional trigger is not the cause of our pain, our unresolved hurt  is.

- Go to your pains

Be honest with yourself 

Be ready to be vulnerable

Have self-love be the foundation

- Accept and forgive

You need to take a step away and accept it as is. You can not change the past but you can change the present.

Forgive yourself and others. Holding a grudge does not heal you but only makes the pain stay longer.

Address the changes in your life that needs to be made and make them.

Then let it go and do not open it again. Continuously revisiting the past and reopening old pain does not let you move on. Do not dwell on your past triggers and bad life experiences but work to move forward.
