Be an encourager.
I was in the final kilometre of my walk today and decided I’d run the last stretch. I could see a man up ahead walking towards me and as we got closer he began to clap and cheer me on “wohoo, you can do it, you can do it, yeaaaah!!” Just me and this happy, brilliant, supportive soul – I’m guessing on his holidays in Ireland – passing on this beautiful countryside road, sharing a moment of connection, encouragement and positivity. Awesome. It reminded me ...
![Oh, wow 💓 Here's to the cycle breakers... "For many of us, our generational "curse" is avoidance. We come from people who just act like "it" didn't / doesn't happen. But pain demands to be felt. And somewhere along the line, a child will be born whose charge it is to feel it all. These are your shamans, your priests and priestesses, your healers.
You call them mental health patients and label their power as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and the like. But these are the ones who are born with the gift of Feeling. And as we all know, you can't heal the pain that you refuse to feel." ~ Dionne Shannette Wood
