🌿 Art as Mindfulness 🌿

I'd usually describe myself as a confident person. Even when I don't talk much, I'm pretty sure and believe in whatever I do. But there are some days, and it's been like this for me for as long as I can remember, that I would get so unsure, so insecure, and doubtful whether I'm enough or not. No matter how 'mindful' I try to be, just the tiniest thing could trigger all those insecurities to surface. Sometimes they don't stay as long, but way too often, those doubts would eat me up; all situations in the past would miraculously come up and convince me that I was no good at all.

 

 

It makes me afraid to do the things that I love.

 

 

This song "Only The Winds" by Ólafur Arnalds speaks to me somehow. The melodies...the videos...

I'm not sure how you interpret it, but to me, it's about finding the right thing/method to keep you strong enough against the "storms" ... and when you've grown enough... know enough... believe in yourself enough... you've become so strong that you don't need those things anymore.

 

 

I am lucky to have friends and family to help me keep myself together whenever I have to withstand those storms. They remind me when I forget who I am or blind to my own good qualities... They are... h e r e.

 

 

I believe I have come very far, and I'm learning to be stronger and stronger. Of course, there are those gloomy days sometimes, but no storms can last forever! I may need those strings to hold me up now, but I'm also on my way to not needing them! 💛
