Take time for silence…

Posted on: July 26th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

You are enough, you do enough

 

Take time for silence, reflection, pondering, emptying, space, stillness. 

You don’t have to justify your value with constant productivity.

You are enough, you do enough. 

Breathing and rising each day is a gift, take time to lean into that.

And take time off grid whenever you need. 

Your wellbeing is crucial…

And answers often find us in those quiet, intimate corners of our lives. 

You matter.

Forward we go,

If you wanted a sign, this is it…

You didn’t come here to fold yourself into a corner

 

The stress and fatigue live in the hesitation, the what if’s, the fear.

If you wanted a sign, this is it.

Whether entering or leaving, go there with ALL of you.

Back yourself, believe in yourself and do it in motion.

That means feeding yourself, staying hydrated, giving your mind a diet of support.

Walking through a door takes guts, that’s something to respect.

It’s a fierce act to live out loud in your life, to turn the door handle, to take that step.

But it’s what you were born for.

You didn’t come here to fold yourself into a corner.

You came here to become you.

Fear is a misspelling of fuel. Use the energy and move.

Take the step.

Your body knows, your gut knows, your evolution calls your name.

Go there with ALL of you.

You matter. 

Forward we go,

Self care is a verb…

Self care is a verb…

Self care is a verb and your wellbeing shouldn’t be optional or a trade for ‘success’

It’s not only possible to align both, it’s imperative and intelligent.

Make choices that respect your health.

Wealth is nothing without it.

Forward we go,

You owe no apology…

You owe no apology…

 

Being different doesn’t make you wrong or stupid. It makes you, YOU.

And that’s exactly who we need you to be.

You owe no apology, you require no permission.

You came here to be you.

Unique,

Original,

YOU

Own your life.

Live out loud. 

Forward we go,

The truth is you’re not broken…

Posted on: July 25th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

 

You’re not broken, you’re wounded and therein lies your key.

You’re not broken, you’re wounded and therein lies your key.

Being ‘broken’ is a sadly common phrase, too easily picked up and worn like a final statement.

The truth is you’re not broken. You’re wounded. And realising this makes for more self compassion, more recognition of the places that need healing.

And ultimately realising you’re wounded instead of broken, gives you the key to knowing what you need right now, right here, this moment and then the next.

Being wounded offers a trail instead of a dead end.

It offers hope instead of finality.

And most of all it offers validation for the things you have faced and are facing.

When something is ‘broken’ it’s no longer of use, it usually means discarding and finality.

When something is wounded, it warrants care and tending.

It invites understanding, support, hope and patience. Most importantly from yourself to yourself.

The key is in owning the wounded self, it’s in hearing what that self needs and where it needs it most.

In time the wound becomes the key that leads you out.

I see you.

Keep going.

You matter.

Fierce Forward

Posted on: February 6th, 2019 by Lynika Write A Comment

 

Never give in, look back or give away what you truly believe in…

If someone called your child ugly, a waste of time or hopeless, would you feel embarrassed and walk away and abandon them? 

No. 

Don’t treat your brain ‘babies’ any less precious… 

Don’t believe the illusion of knock backs, rejections or other peoples opinions.

They’re not a sign for you to give up on what you believe in… 

It doesn’t matter what others think.

It matters that YOU believe in your dreams and you protect them, help them grow and take their place in the world.

Whenever negative feedback is sent your way, grab the energy from it and transmute it into fierce fuel for your goal.

Never give in, look back or give away what you truly believe in. 

Firewood is awesome and that’s what adversity is.

Make sure you burn that sweet load into fuel.

It’s not here to be carried.

It’s yours to pyromaniac.

Remember that and fierce forward!

Playing small offers no favour to this world

 

Those who work hard and invest in themselves do so to stay in the world stronger and longer for the people they love, and for all those they will inspire and encourage as a result.

 

Playing small offers no favour to this world.

 

Do not quit or be guilted about self-investment.

 

This is your LIFE and legacy at stake and nobody has the right to throw opinionated rocks at you, nor distract you with fear-soaked ‘cotton wool’ limits.

 

If you’re operating from reason and integrity then you must play all out for yourself.

 

It’s the only way to authentically reach the platform where you can go all out for others.

 

The more you make of yourself the more you genuinely have to offer.

 

“To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don’t isolate.”

Michael Jordan

 

Great minds think alike, so rise up like Baruch, Michael and I, and countless others who have held fierce to their life, and don’t EVER allow yourself to be shamed out of creating your greatest self, your legacy.

 

You were born for this.

Keep Walking

Keep Walking

There will sometimes be worthy things that pop up and need your attention from time to time. Fakes aren’t one of them. Haters are just fake distractions hoping to become more. Breeze past that trash. You do You. You amazing, worthy, powerful light. Keep Walking.

Own Your Life

Live out Loud

Contrary to what most have been told, championing and believing in yourself is your birthright, and the key to successful living…

Successful living? 

You might ask ‘what is that?’ 

Well let me assure you, it involves much more than just surviving this life…

It means living it with all your callings and passions pursued and relished. 

Life is in the living. 

This moment right here, right now? It’s not a draft; it’s the real deal. Don’t waste a minute more.

You want to saturate yourself in your life, live in all your bones with all your heart. 

This means being on your own side, talking with respect to yourself, it means listening to what your ‘self’ is telling you, and caring deeply, with priority, about those wants, passions and needs. 

This person that you are, the human that you came in to be, that person is at your mercy, treat them well, with dignity, respect, encouragement and belief. 

Know you are worthy and start living it…. 

Everything else is conditioning, everything else is someone else’s agenda. 

And remember, living a self-empowered life means helping others along the way, who have forgotten. 

When they stumble over the self-denigration minefield, put out your hand and remind them, tell them; they are worth the push it will take them to stand back up.

Never underestimate how much this world needs you to be good to yourself so you can inspire yourself and others, toward an authentic, full life.

Self-esteem is not a dirty word. 

But putting yourself down, not believing in the immensity of who you are? 

That is foul play. 

And you rob this world of the light you came in with… and that is the real you, not the filter others and you have placed on yourself. Clean the lens! 

Be who you are and be damn proud of it. 

We are all wise enough to know this isn’t about an over inflated ego… it’s about gutsy, show up for yourself honour. 

Let that stuff shine.

Fill Your Thank Tank

Posted on: March 21st, 2018 by Lynika Write A Comment

Let Joy Come At You

 

If you want to feel joy come at you, make sure you notice and  appreciate what massive blessings already surround you.


Even if things are rough right now and you feel you’re coming up short on your list of gratitude, try these for starters…

 

Clean drinking water

 

Flushing toilets

 

Garbage picked up every single week, outside your house

 

Freedom, education, rights

 

Breathing without a machine


Things so often taken for granted yet even without one of the above,  your life would change, rapidly.


The more blessings you notice, the more you fill with gratitude.


Fill your thank tank
today and let joy come at you like the bright beast it is.
