My Chaotic Mess

My Chaotic Mess When I first began exploring mindfulness, I wasn’t sure what I was looking for. Life had become a series of unfortunate events, each one piling on top of the last, creating an unmanageable weight. From the trauma of an assault that led to a forced abortion to the heartbreak of a four-year relationship that never led to marriage, I felt like I was constantly spiraling. The weight of a marriage that ultimately fell apart, losing custody of my children, struggling with mental health, and battling through health and work-related endurance issues—everything felt overwhelming. During these times, I found myself in need of tools—tools to help me manage, to cope, and to regain some control back. Mindfulness became one of the most invaluable practices I embraced. And through my journey, I discovered several resources that provided tangible relief: therapy, self-help groups, psychotherapy, counseling, and, yes, mindfulness tools. A Personal Journey Through Pain and Healing My pat...

Mindfulness: Find Your Purpose

Part 6 of a 10 Part Series Finding Your Purpose. Many people struggle with finding their purpose. We struggle in finding the value of what we are doing. We question ourselves, why am I even doing this? Finding your purpose in life is way bigger than that. If you struggle to see the value of what you are doing, you get stuck in the situation and you feel hopeless. You are constantly dragging yourself, forcing yourself to face the situation you are in. I hate my job. Life is bigger than this. Why am I even here? Right? You have to feed yourself, you need shelter, you need clothing and you live in a community of sorts. You can get a job or you can run off somewhere that you can grow your food, weave your cloth and build your own house. Having a job is of value so you can get your necessities. Finding your purpose? What's your purpose, your true calling? Your job is not your life's purpose, it's just a valuable set of skills to be able to get your necessities. It doesn't de...

Mindfulness: Finding Your Voice

Part 5 of a 10 Part Series. My mind tripped while attempting to write this. Finding your voice in the digital world is like talking out loud but no one is listening. There are common digital spaces where you can have common conversations and shared ideas but among so many comments, how do you validate yourself? But who cares about the digital world. You can create a whole new persona of yourself to present to the world. Ultimately, it's just you playing pretend. We live in the real world. If someone likes you, great. If they don't, you don't care but of course, you'll start wondering- why not? At times, you 'll even hate yourself. Why then would people even like you? You are, who you are and in life you'll juggle a lot of responsibilities. You are a child, a parent, a student, a hard ass worker- you are all of that. But it doesn't define who you are. You are not your responsibilities and roles. I fall into this trap and at one time my only identity was bein...
