I had a pretty low day the other day and was beating myself up about my appearance. I felt i looked boring and couldn’t stand my exterior. The funny thing is I hadn’t ventured away from my norm. I was sporting the usual salty hair, shirt see through, bright earrings popping, yet i felt boring. At the time i was hanging out with my beautiful friend Summer who is incredibly conscious, soft and attentive. Summer felt these vibes straight away and later that evening i had a message from her saying ‘Your clothes don’t define your emotions or who you are. You rocked that white top that made your freckles pop! Your cute as skirt that showed off your beach babe legs! and earrings that just screamed fun and dangerous!’. This message was a beautiful reminder that at times, I can be way too hard on myself and that re introducing going against my mind was once again going to be a very necessary theme in my life. How was it that i beamed confidence in practically the same outfit the day before and the following felt the complete opposite? I’m a huge advocate for detaching/ going against your mind and know that perceptions can become warped if in a negative frame of mind. So after this was brought to the surface, i made the conscious decision to jump back on the positive mantra train and to re start the positive affirmations. Although i am my number one supporter and have finally stopped seeking recognition from others, hearing those words from Summer propped me back up and got me asking myself some important questions. I am, once again, making the conscious decision to not let my outside appearance dictate my mood or happiness. I am bloody beautiful, unique and much more than that and i believe these words with my whole heart and so are you!

’In a population of 7,000,000,000 you are 0,000,000,001 of this. If there was anything in the world that was 1 in 7,000,000,000, it would be considered rare, unique, special, and regarded as a priceless collectors item, but guess what, that is you. Your individual worth in untouchable, your individuality as an asset to Earth is like no other commodity we claim as ‘value’.
- An exert from local author Josh Hedges’ book ‘Seeds for truth’.

I know Its impossible to always feel on top, high and confident and thats okay…even Buddha has bad days. Take comfort in the ride, staying present, not worrying whats going to happen next, posing yourself questions, listening to advice, staying open and genuinely excited at who you may learn from next. Always staying open to fresh ways of doing.

Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.
