As I continuously say, healing is a part of life and most of life consists of being on the journey of healing. There is no economic status or privilege that denounces our need to heal as a big part of the human experience is hurt and if we don’t heal, we will either hurt others or ourselves.

As I have found myself on a constant path of healing, I have had to remind myself of a few things. Here are 9 of them:

1. It is okay to make mistakes.

2. Breathe!

3. Allow others to be wrong (sometimes) for them to find themselves.

4. Allow yourself to be wrong (sometimes) for you to find yourself.

5. Surround yourself with people who support you but who also hold you accountable.

6. Growth doesn’t happen in one day, sometimes it takes lifetimes.

7. There is love inside all of us that is waiting to be let out.

8. We are all capable of being in light, no matter what we have done in the past.

9. Judgement comes from my shadow-side. It is worth healing.
