The Body of Courage
What has been is not what will be.
Moroni 7: 33
“And Christ hath said: If ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.”

At times when I feel tightness somewhere in my body. Locked. No matter how much I judge this uncomfortable friend - I’ve learned that it is an opportunity to return awareness to my body. Almost as if I am building gratitude to my body for understanding that something is making me feel unsafe, tight, and limited.
When intense emotions arise - intentionally asking, “where can my body’s response guide me? where is trying to lead me?” instead of reacting impulsively.
To acknowledge thoughts that pass, to listen. Listen to things piling up inside my mind with curiosity, and not necessarily believing all that’s being said (because let’s be honest, some ideas can be destructive for our nature).
Finding wonder and ethereal significance in journaling - and the release and freedom that comes with it.
Courage is not found - but discovered through the battle of making the choice to be. Humility gives courage. Choose your hard.
A few things tremendously inspiring last week . . .
My sister started a newsletter! Come and read what she has to say. Lovely and all. ♡ . . . Here’s a sneak peek!
I highly recommend watching "My Mind and Me" - a documentary about Selena Gomez. Incredibly raw. ← Click to watch the trailer!
All my love,
plus some goody goody gum drops,
