π¦ Change Your Tidesπ
βοΈ Conquering the drowning tides of your own tears,
I understand.
π
These terrifying waves
Move us,
And come from within us.
π
They can defeat us,
But if we are brave,
We can learn how to swim inside them and find hidden beauties in those cavernous places down in the depths of our being
π
Those deep places
Where we choose not to go,
So we ignore them,
Because the triggers are painful
and we are afraid of losing control.
π
But without our choice,
More waves come...crashing.
escaping from our eyes,
They donβt stop sometimes.
π
And that burning feeling in the heart
Hurts so much.
βWhy did this happen to me?
We ask ourselves. β Why is it me?β
π
Trust me, I get it.
These harsh waves move you, back and forth.
drowning in the ocean of your own despair.
π
But what if I told you,
From my own experiences
That you were the God of your own ocean, thatβs inside of you.
π
And what if I told you
That nothing on the outside of you,
Nothing that anyone has ever done to you or said to you,
Didnβt really have anything to do with you.
π
Sit quietly for a while,
And breathe
To calm the raging waters inside.
Let the waters roll down your cheeks,
Let them cleanse if they need.
Release the tension youβre holding, itβs okay.
Let it go.
π
Let every experience be a tool
To help mold your soul
With the qualities of understanding and more love, so we can genuinely share that with others. Be the change. Forgive.
Endure the hard times,
That are bound to come in some way...
....Fitness for the spirit....
π
Life really is a divine sport,
Practice your swimming.
Learn how to feel and not be afraid,
dance in your feelings.
Let them come, witness them.
π
Change your tides and soothe your waters.
You are not the ocean of anxiety,
You are not the ocean of sadness and depression.
π
Change your tides,
and be a witness to the beauty of your own consciousness
You are the ocean of compassion
You are the ocean of peace love and happiness
And no one can ever take that away from you
