Self care

Chrysanthemums generally symbolize longevity, fidelity, joy and optimism. White chrysanthemums symbolize loyalty and honesty.

We all need to be loyal and honest to ourselves, and definitely it is your benefit if take your time, stop, and allow yourself to be proud of yourself and all the progress you have made. Especially the progress that no none else has seen.

Visible achievements, can easily be judged, evaluated and appreciated. Everyone can see your house, your job title, your family, your children.

But who is the one, who can see what progress you have made inside? Who can see the winner of your struggles? Who can see your inner happiness, calmness, forgiveness, sorrow, grief, relief and the whole palette of emotions you go through every day?

Only you my friend, only you. Please allow yourself to be proud at you when:

you keep smiling when you would cry instead
you let the other’s hand when you would like to hold
you put others first when you would deserve to be first
you support others and give all your strength while inside you hurt
you spell genuinely your kind words while you are
you give and give and make others smile, even if your strengths let you, knowing that other’s smiles are the power that recharge you
you hold someone in your arms while you feel you would need embracing as well
you say no, even if you feel yes
you say yes, even if you feel no
you spell harsh words that sounds cruel but help someone to wake up
you comfort someone with your words
you comfort someone with your thoughts, sending positive energy
you are able to see sun through clouds and morning after dark night
you let go even if it is so hard to say goodbye
you see the next step
you keep going on your pathway, even others say, it is in vain

The list could be continued. What would be those three things that you are proud of today? No matter what they are, all prove how strong you are. So, the only person who can appreciate, is you, seeing in yourself the enormous progress you have made. It is not about not being genuine, it is just mastering your mind and soul.

Be consciously a chrysanthemum this November, joyful, optimist, loyal and honest😊!
