Beautiful Growth - As we continue to live through these unusual and challenging days, let’s take a breather for a moment.

By now, I imagine we have all got a storyline to share about how this pandemic has affected us. Our lives have been thrown into turmoil as we wake each morning with an aim of surviving another day.

From the front line key workers putting their own lives at risk to those at home, grieving, struggling with chaos, loneliness, depression and anxiety, exhaustion, lack of personal space, and fear of the future for themselves and their loved ones. Our strength and courage has been pushed to limits perhaps many of us never knew we had.

Take a moment to acknowledge how far you have come. Recognise your determination and strength. Even those who have been more vulnerable through these times, if you are still here, you are amazing!

Right now, recognise how extraordinary you are to have got this far. You are stronger and braver than you think. Your courage to keep going is incredible. Your thoughtfulness to yourself, your loved ones and any other being is a beautiful and wonderful thing. You are amazing.

Embrace your strength and love yourself a little bit more for it, even if it just means breathing in and out.
