coming home to yourself 🫶🏼

hahahahha HI BABES omg if you are ever on the other end of receiving a voice note from me it usually starts with me laughing before I address anything because surely we’re talking about something deeply profound and I find the silly goose energy in there somewhere but the reason I entered this space laughing already is because I literally just came out of a meditation and went okay time to write up a new blog post, and as I grabbed my popcorn I pondered what to chat with you about, and came up with something really cutesy and fun, however upon sitting down and thinking of where to start, I was going to first tell you that I’m writing this one from a different floor space – that being my besties apartment as I’m staying here watching their kittens 🐱 for the week, which is hilarious because we live in the same neighbourhood but anyway, I caught myself in going to say I’m at my second home because then I was like or wait is my sister’s place more my second home? Or my parents would now be considered my second home….? How do I decide the hierarchy of all my homes that I feel so at home in because of course my own home is my first home…. And queue lightbulb moment that I’ve had before already but it just very clearly came to me again in the perfect time for me to share this concept with you that 💡 when you create such a safe emotional home within your own energy, you can make anywhere feel like home!!!! 💡……… that entire thought process happened in about 5 seconds I wish I was joking.

So now that you have a glimpse of what it’s like to be in my mind which is a very wild and expansive and overwhelming at times yet FUN and grounding place to be!!!!!!! I can tell you how I have been cultivating this energy for myself for the last few years and continue to build on it. Do you see why I make myself giggle hahahaha honestly if you don’t have fun spending time in your own energy and thought processes like what in the honest fk are you doing!!!!! 🤠

Hm okay so where does this go back to…. I would say when I started travelling solo, my 6 month Australia trip that I left for in october 2019 is probably when I began to recognize the importance of creating that sense of safety and freedom in your energetic body… and I think it was VERY not conscious at the time, I remember after being with friends for the first month and as soon as they left, it hit me that I was alone in another country across the globe just a cutie young little baby … I was 22 lol but to be honest that’s young and brave as hell so let’s give her some credit because the amount of people over the age of 30 or 40 that would openly admit to being scared of solo travel is abundant, which is fair because it is definitely stepping into something very big and expansive but alas!!!! Look where we are!!! So I would say that subconsciously I was quickly taking in how to completely rely on myself and make sure I knew how to feel that safety in that foreign of a setting. And then covid enters the chat and I’m back living at my parents for the next year and a half after having been on my own for the last 5 years hahahah talk about being challenged. Of course I was and will always be so grateful I had that in a very chaotic time for all of us but it really showed me the contrast of the work I had done to where I had yet to step into because living with your parents after having moved out already is simply just something I think we’re not meant to do as humans in this experience 😂🤭 we’re literally here to expand into our most authentic selves and that’s tough to do when you’re put back in the environment that created what you’re expanding FROM…does that make sense idk that’s how I see it at least, and by expanding I basically mean coming back home to yourself after learning the ways in which society and all the other conditionings might have swayed you away in the first place…hehe!! It happens!! To literally everyone but that’s the fun part so lean in!!

So then I moved across the country…...hahahaha and have done heaps more travel, solo and not solo, in the last 3 years and all in all, I have really just recognized that the more you force yourself out of your comfort zone, and I absolutely mean metaphorically but also the physical comfort of your actual “home”, the more you learn to cultivate home within yourself because you get really comfortable in being uncomfortable? God we love a paradox. I saw a thing the other day that said “the sooner you accept that you are a mass of paradoxes and lean into the journey of embracing the extremes within yourself, the sooner you tap into genuine inner peace”... and by the other day I mean I read this last year BUT it holds such powerful truth in that what makes you uncomfortable is simply showing up for you to lean into it and find peace on the other side. I’ve also recently become obsessed with Peter Crone, he’s known as the mind architect and for good reason as one of his popular quotes is “life will present you with people and circumstances to reveal where you’re not free”............ fk that’s so good.. i’ll cool it with the quotes but truly like??? Your triggers, the things that make you uncomfortable, the things we avoid confronting… they are literally showing up for you with the sole purpose of giving you the opportunity to lean in and rewrite the story so you can liberate yourself from that discomfort. Because the more you do that, the more you return to your home frequency and therefore making it SO much easier for yourself to feel at home in your own energy at all times, wherever you are 🥹 

I feel like that kind of went in a very big metaphorical loop hehe but the tangibles being that you come back home to yourself when you learn how to have hard conversations with the people you love, or how to navigate tricky circumstances in a foreign place, or when you choose to let go of opinions or thoughts that don’t align with you, or how to spend endless hours in your own presence and get to know yourself on a deep level. It requires truth telling, being honest with yourself about where you have been versus where you’d like to be, and knowing that all you have at the end of the day is the present moment and therefore what are the little micro ways in which you can stretch yourself into that space where your frequency will always feel homey 😌🏡💞

Eeeek that was a cute and fun one, and I hope there was something in there that made enough sense for you to take away and integrate because yes, arriving at your best friends house and immediately vacuuming, sage-ing the space and having a cleansing shower DEFINITELY helps set the frequency where I want it to be but the deeper emotional work had to happen first hahahaahhaha her cats were like what in the witchy fk is going on here. They love it. 

Ta for now!!!! Sending you so much love from my home base that you can take into cultivating yours hehehe
