When I was little, I used to be so flexible that when I did a backbend, my feet could easily touch my nose. I was always the appointed ‘model’ for the class. I thought I’d become a dancer when I grew up (don’t get me wrong, I thought I’d become many other things too 😬)—it’s natural to imagine continuing something when you’re good at it. But that thought didn’t last long. I had to quit and focus on school when I entered third grade. Twenty years later, I never practiced again

I get it. Emotionally detaching helps us shield ourselves from what our mind convinces us are ‘unnecessary distractions’ so we can keep going. And that’s okay if you need to run away. That’s okay if you want to detach from the overwhelming feelings rising inside of you. There are times when it’s actually healthy to do so. As human beings, we’ve learned to numb our pain to survive, and being able to control our emotions is an incredible superpower. But you can’t keep ignoring

Can you hear it?
 Can you listen to that little voice inside of you that’s been trying to guide you through your life? The voice that’s...

Will you be your own best friend and stay with your long sigh after a bad day? Will you hold yourself with grace? Will you listen to...

But what if you do? What if you let go of the idea that it has to be a certain person, and instead embrace the belief that whoever you...

There’s a kind of love that shares an unspoken communication, where their thoughts become your thoughts, their feelings become your feelings, their energies become your energies, simultaneously in synchronicity. It’s the kind of love that understands without words, comforts without touch, loves without conditions, transcending time and space despite physical separation. No matter how hard and how many times you try to deny, disconnect, build a wall, or run away, it always fin

If you want to see what the soul looks like, close your eyes Be soft Lose yourself in the movement of time Flow freely to the melody of your own energy Feel everything passing through you, without holding onto anything, without worrying if it’s perfect, without expecting an ideal outcome Crack your heart open wide Let your mind shine the light You’ll see that there’s nothing to see but a sense of wholeness of interconnectedness with all beings and with the universe itsel

Embrace all of your insecurities and channel them into your force to grow.

Life is tough, you know? It’s easy to be lazy. It’s easy to continue the bad habits. It’s easy to call it quits without trying to change. It’s easy to think the only way out is to give up on everything including yourself. It’s easy to blame, get angry, or hurt others when we feel hurt. It’s easy to carry the victim mindset. It’s easy to shut down or run away from the problem that you’re facing, only until you realize that no matter how far you go, your problem still follows

“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” We’ve heard this saying many times, but is it right? The past week got me rethinking the meaning of luck, and as much as I’m tempted to agree with the above statement because it’s been shared so widely, I disagree with how luck is defined here. When I was younger, one of the greatest fears that I had was that all my achievements in life would be viewed as luck, no matter how hard I tried — if I failed, it was my bad

Twenty years ago, I thought I would be married and have my first child by now. You know, it’s common (and expected) that most women in...
