When facing layers of mystery, a doorway to an unknown landscape, it helps to remember all the strength we actually have within ourselves and within reach.
This has been explored in plenty of ways through scientific research, psychology, and spiritual traditions. I'm referring to the skills, resources, interests, personality quirks and traits, personal values, emotional growth, knowledge, spiritual exploration, creative development, relationships + connection, lessons learned, wisdom inherited, and, and, and.
Simply, what are the gifts you give yourself, whether pragmatic or more ethereal, very simple or complex?
When exploring this concept of strength, some possible questions to pose to yourself: How do I soothe myself and others when times are tricky? Who has my back? In what ways do I have my own back too? How do I express joy when life is bright? What makes me feel bone-deep glee? What am I doing when I feel the most authentically myself? When do I feel especially awake and free? How do I express myself? How do I explore creativity? What practices do I have that nourish my physical body? What hard times did I make it through whole? Which broke me open so that I could reweave myself, how did I do that, and who was I on the other side of it all? What hardships did my ancestors navigate so that perhaps I wouldn't have to? What skills did they have that whisper somewhere in my subconscious?
The you that exists in this very moment is an alter to yourself. Years of knowing, ability, and strength collected into skin, heart, mind, and spirit.
You are more than qualified to live your life.
You are sacred and wise.
You are worthy of candlelit blooms.
