My beloved child, break your heart no longer by Swami Kripalu, Bapuji My beloved child, break your heart no longer Each time you judge yourself, you break your own heart You stop feeding on the love which is the wellspring of your own vitality
Thank you for this wonderful newsletter Ruthie! I am proud of myself for taking the leap to attend grad school in Europe. The initial transition was harder than expected, but I am finally settling into life here and slowly making friends.
One other thing! I absolutely loved your voice memo about the quieting the mind card you pulled - it was so timely. Yesterday, my airpod case stopped charging, which means I will be without them for a few days before I can bring them to the Apple Store. When I realized I wouldn’t be able to fix them myself, I freaked out about not being able to use them (even though I have wired headphones!!). Your words helped me realize that this time is an invitation to slow down and truly notice the world around me! ❤️
I also celebrated my birthday last week! I turned 27 and for the last few birthdays I’ve had almost existential crises the months following the big day, which I don’t know is a thing of the twenties or just me lol. But I’m proud of who I’ve become over this year. I feel more myself then I ever have and I hope this year will be no different. I’ve taken steps to better my health and I think that’s what I’m most proud of too. It’s healing to reflect on the good stuff, and grow from the not so great stuff.
