Some dayz, life doesn’t go to plan. You know the ones ~ the days where you want to scream “This is not what I wanted!” at the sky (or at least mutter it into your cuppa)

But here’s what I’m learning ~ sometimes what doesn’t go our way is still going our way. It just doesn’t look like it yet ♡

I used to think peace came from control ~ from perfect plans, clear direction and the best possible outcomes (Capricorn brain, anyone?) But control is a tricky illusion. The more we grip, the more we stress!

The unknown isn’t our enemy ~ it’s the teacher we keep trying to avoid ♡

Psychologists call it cognitive flexibility ~ our brain’s ability to adapt when things don’t unfold as expected. It’s the mental version of bending without breaking. And the more we practice letting go, the easier it becomes for our nervous system to say, “ok, maybe this isn’t danger ~ maybe it’s just different” ♡

So I’m practicing the pause.

When things fall apart or shift unexpectedly, I ask myself:

♡ What do I want?

♡ What is actually best?

♡ And can I still trust that I’ll be ok, even if it’s not what I wanted?

Because sometimes, what feels like a detour is really the path you were meant to find.

Feel it all ~ the highs, the lows, the “wtf’s even is this?” moments. You don’t have to rush to silver-line it. You just have to stay open ♡

Maybe it’s not what you wanted.

Maybe it’s what you needed.
