Receiving The Softness You Give

Absolutely do not let people siphon your energy, getting nothing in return. I’ve seen far too many people carrying the weight of the world, being there for others without a shoulder to cry on. Strong people need the same care, check in on them. Strong people, allow yourself to receive the softness you give. Artist: Soleoade

Be Cautious Of Monitoring Spirits

Monitoring spirits are evil, low vibrational people who only watch to compare, copy, and send negativity your way. It’s weirdo shit. I got into an argument with a former co-worker/ex-friend for doing exactly that.

Energy is the most valuable currency, it’s everything. My domain. Be careful who has access to yours. The streets stay plotting, protect it always. Are there people like this in your life? Envy is a sin for a reason. Artist: HollyMurray_Doodles

What Outgrowing Relationships Feels Like

Precisely how I felt when I started to evolve, but the people surrounding me didn’t. Changing isn’t easy, but worth it. I began feeling listless during over everyday interactions, because our conversations were lacking sustenance, depth. We weren’t teenagers anymore, I needed variety and it wasn’t happening. Yes, it’s unfortunate to outgrow things, especially people you love, but goodbye is a form of self-care. Endings bring new beginnings. Discomfort brings growth. Artist: Sarah_Akinterinwa

Don’t Forget To Fill Your Cup

Fill your cup before you help somebody else. When a plane is in turmoil what are you instructed to do?

Place your oxygen mask on first, then help those around you.

This goes for everyone, especially women, who are taught to place the needs of others before theirs. Sacrificing ourselves is glorified. We’re indoctrinated to believe that’s our duty and sole purpose. Never forget misogyny comes from Satan. What you do passes down to your children epigenetically. Turn off those toxic switches. Are you receiving as much as you’re giving? Via: NaturalDiva416

Consider The Freedom Of Letting Go

Letting go is liberating. Removal isn’t always a loss, but a freeing of space for better to come. It can be a weight lifted from your being entirely. What no longer serves you and needs to be released? Artist: JujuJaan

Playing The Cards You Were Dealt

This is where strategy comes in. One must figure out how to optimize their hand, using what they’ve been dealt to the best of their ability. Another reason critical thinking skills matter. Do your best with what you have, by taking a moment to think each decision through, long term outcomes included. Play to win. Via: JoyfulSmolThings

What You Make Of Messed Up Plans

A wise woman once said “Life’s what you make it, so let’s make it rock!”

It’s all about adapting, especially when things don’t work out. The universe is older and wiser, it knows better than you. Trust the redirection is for a reason and keep going. Trust the process. Make the best of it. Via: TheHappySnapShots

New Beginnings Need Mental Health Reminders

Entering a new beginning be it: eclipse season, the new moon, Saturn and Neptune transitions from Pisces to Aries, fire horse for the Chinese zodiac and age of Aquarius, it’s important to maintain your sanity. All these shifts can be discombobulating. Everything’s changing so no one feels the same. Here are some mental health reminders to keep you grounded. Via: SelfCareExpress

Be Mindful Of Your Energy, It’s Everything

Energy is absolutely everything. It’s can’t be created or destroyed, but it can be alchemized by raising or lowering your vibrations. Witchcraft is merely harnessing energy and directing it towards to outcome you desire (read Kim Kardashian Did Witchcraft On Paris Hilton, Kanye West & More). My domain. That being said, here’s a reminder to be mindful of yours. That means protecting it and assessing how you use yours. If you’re a shit person, the former isn’t going to happen. You’ll end up reaping what you sow. The longer it takes the worst the repercussions are. Be accountable. Artist: Mara.IllustrationsReal
