#supportive community

[riverofinkofficial]

We are plants.

We need water,

the sun and air,

room to grow and be rooted.

And sometimes we need to be re-potted.

We experience droughts

and bugs wriggling into our space.

The sun gets blocked out

so we curl into ourselves.

Open the windows.

Water yourself. Water each other.

Give yourself the time and space to branch out.

Give others the same.

We are all plants.

Let's grow together

to become a happy jungle.

Mindfulness & Personal Evolution: The Journey to Authenticity

Ever feel like you're playing a part in life's grand theater, but the script doesn't quite resonate? It's a common yearning, this desire to shed layers, step out of the shadows, and truly shine as our authentic selves. And guess what? There's a path paved with mindfulness and potent tools that can guide you on this exciting journey of personal evolution.

Hold on, though, before diving headfirst into life-altering transformations. This isn't about becoming someone "new" (unless that someone is simply a more genuine version of you!). It's about shedding limiting beliefs, assuming your true essence, and radiating authenticity from within. And that, my friend, is where mindfulness comes in.

Mindfulness: Your Introspective GPS

Think of mindfulness as your personal GPS for navigating the vast landscape of the self. You become attuned to your thoughts, emotions, and impulses without judgment by cultivating present-moment awareness. This allows you to:

Recognize conditioned patterns It's important to be aware of the conditioned patterns that may be hindering your personal growth and success. These patterns could be in the form of automatic behaviors, self-imposed limitations, and emotional triggers that are deeply ingrained in your psyche. Identifying and recognizing these patterns is the first step towards breaking free from their grip and achieving your full potential.

Make conscious choices By making conscious choices, you are able to avoid being overwhelmed by reactive impulses and instead, make decisions that are in line with your authentic self. This involves being intentional and thoughtful about your actions, and taking steps to ensure that your choices reflect your values and priorities. By doing so, you can lead a more fulfilling and purposeful life.

Welcome self-compassion To nurture an untroubled and accepting state of mind, it's crucial to abandon the habit of criticizing oneself and adopt self-compassion instead. Treating oneself with kindness and understanding assists in fostering a gentle and forgiving attitude towards oneself, which can have a significant impact on one's overall well-being.

Unveiling Your Authentic Tapestry

Just picture this for a moment - what if you could combine the incredible power of mindfulness with a range of amazing tools like Life Coaching, Money Coaching & Abundance Coaching, Relationship Coaching, Law of Attraction Coaching, Mindset Coaching, Aura Scans & Aura Cleansing, and Color Therapy?

At Gateway of Healing, we offer an incredible array of services that will help you on your transformational journey, each thread adding a unique and vibrant layer to the tapestry of your life. Let us empower you to become the best version of yourself!

Life Coaching Your personal guide, helping you unearth your values, goals, and deepest desires. It's like having a cheerleader and strategic advisor in one, holding you accountable and celebrating your victories.

Money Coaching Unraveling limiting beliefs around money and abundance, and creating a mindset of financial freedom. Imagine attracting prosperity while aligning it with your authentic values.

Relationship Coaching Steering through the complexities of love, communication, and healthy boundaries. This isn't just about romantic relationships; it's about cultivating healthy dynamics in all aspects of your life.

Law of Attraction Coaching Harnessing the power of your thoughts and intentions to attract your desires. Understand the principles of manifestation and learn to cultivate positive energy for abundance in all areas.

Mindset Coaching Reprogramming limiting beliefs for a growth mindset. This is where you challenge self-doubt, welcome challenges, and step into your full potential.

Aura Scans & Cleansing Gaining insights into your energy field and releasing blocked emotions. Think of it as a spiritual spring cleaning, clearing the way for your authentic light to shine through.

Color Therapy Harnessing the power of color to influence your mood, emotions, and well-being. Surround yourself with energizing colors or use specific hues to promote relaxation and balance.

Remember, personal evolution is a journey, not a destination. It's a continuous process of exploration, self-discovery, and adopting your authenticity. At Gateway of Healing, we walk alongside you, offering guidance, tools, and a supportive community to empower your transformation.

Ready To Venture On Your Adventure? 4 Tips To Get You Started

Start small Pick one area you'd like to explore, like mindfulness practice or a specific coaching program. Consistency is key, so begin with manageable steps.

Adopt self-compassion Be kind to yourself on this journey. There will be ups and downs, and that's okay. Celebrate your progress, big and small.

Find your support system Surround yourself with positive, encouraging people who believe in your journey. Connect with our community or find like-minded individuals who share your path.

Trust the process Allow yourself to evolve and change at your own pace. This is a journey of self-discovery, not a race.

At Gateway of Healing, we believe that everyone has the potential to live a life of authenticity and fulfillment. With mindfulness as your compass and powerful tools at your disposal, you can steer through the journey of personal evolution and shine your brightest light. Remember, you are already enough, but there's an even more magnificent version of you waiting to be discovered.

Let's venture on this adventure together! P.S. Don't forget to explore the wealth of resources and articles on our website. We have something for everyone seeking guidance on their path to self-discovery and authenticity.

Pregnancy in the Great White North: Estela’s Journey

Pregnancy is a journey filled with a mix of changes and challenges, which can be both exciting and demanding. For Estela a Filipina mom, this journey is proving to be even more challenging as she prepares to welcome her third child. Estela lives in Canada, with her husband and two kids. Each day brings new surprises as her body goes through noticeable changes and her mind races with thoughts and plans about the future. Managing the needs of her two older children, adjusting to a new baby, and maintaining her own well-being requires mindful planning. Throughout her third pregnancy, we will gain insight into how it affects her physical health, cognitive outlook, and socioemotional well-being, exploring the challenges of her daily life, relationships, and sense of self.

Estela, currently 32 weeks into her pregnancy, has noticed significant physical changes in her daily life. Despite this being her third pregnancy, it has proven to be the most challenging compared to her previous ones. Estela attributes this difficulty, in part, to her age. She was 26 when she had her first child and 29 for her second, whereas now, at 38, the physical demands of pregnancy seem more intense.

During her first trimester, Estela experienced a particularly tough phase which is discomfort and fatigue. These challenges made her make the decision to stop working. Previously, she worked 10 hours and four days a week. The stress from her job and the physical demands of pregnancy made it harder for her to keep working.

Estela also faced several specific physical challenges during her current pregnancy. She has noticed significant changes in her appearance, such as swelling in her nose and face, which has affected her self-esteem. Despite receiving compliments from others, who say she looks "blooming," Estela struggles with feeling unattractive. Since becoming pregnant, Estela had to make adjustments to manage the physical demands of her pregnancy. Physically, she has found even simple tasks difficult; walking or going grocery shopping becomes exhausting after just 10 minutes, leaving her feeling unwell. Bending over to perform tasks like putting on clothes or tying her shoes is now challenging, requiring her to ask for assistance. Previously very active and engaged in daily household chores, now her routine has drastically changed. The activities that once filled her day have been replaced by a much more limited set of tasks. Her current daily routine revolves around a basic cycle of eating, sleeping, and frequent trips to the restroom. The fatigue and physical discomfort she experiences have made it difficult for her to engage in her usual household activities. She now spends most of her time resting and conserving her energy. Reflecting on her previous pregnancies, Estela recalls feeling more comfortable during the first trimester, even with morning sickness, but this time the experience has been markedly different, likely due to her age.  

To manage her health, she is taking three types of medication: one for high blood pressure, one to alleviate nausea, and one aspirin to help prevent preeclampsia. These medications have contributed to her grogginess, making it even harder for her to stay active and maintain her previous level of productivity.

Pregnancy has significantly influenced Estela’s emotional well-being and outlook on life. From the moment she received a positive pregnancy test, she experienced a range of intense emotions. The unexpected nature of the pregnancy left her in disbelief and struggling to accept the news, as it had not been part of her plans. During the first trimester, she was overwhelmed with frequent crying, reflecting a state of emotional stress and exhaustion.

The unplanned nature of this pregnancy led to changes in her short-term goals and personal plans, including adjustments to her wardrobe and daily activities. However, living in Canada has provided some practical support that has helped her manage these challenges. Despite no longer working, Estela receives financial assistance from the government, which, while modest, helps cover bills and groceries. This support is set to continue after the birth of her child, including an additional allowance for the baby, which is a big help to her financial stability during this uncertain time.

Estela’s pregnancy had a notable impact on her relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. She is particularly grateful for her husband’s constant support during this time. Despite the challenges of dealing with cravings for Filipino foods, like kakanin, which are not available in Canada, her husband has always been there to give comfort and help.

She has also observed a cultural difference between Canada and the Philippines in how pregnancy is viewed and supported. In the Philippines, she recalls feeling self-conscious due to comments from coworkers and others, such as remarks on her appearance or restrictions on her diet and activities. These comments often contributed to feelings of self-doubt and pressure.

In contrast, the culture in Canada has provided a more supportive and encouraging environment. People around her, including friends and colleagues, have been attentive and positive, frequently saying words of encouragement and affirmation about her pregnancy and her baby. This positive reinforcement has a major effect on her well-being. Additionally, the generosity of her friends, colleagues, and church members in providing nursery items has been a source of support, making her feel valued and cared for.

If Estela were in the Philippines, she might face criticism for her physical appearance or perceived inactivity, such as being labeled as lazy for resting or being urged to engage in more physical activity. However, the supportive environment in Canada has made her pregnancy journey more manageable and positive, contributing to her overall sense of gratitude despite the stresses of pregnancy.

One of the most memorable and special moments for Estela during her pregnancy has been the organization of her first-ever baby shower. This event, arranged by her friends, colleagues, and church members, has been a highlight. Estela was excited and touched by the difference in how the event was handled compared to her experiences in the Philippines. In Canada, the initiative to organize the baby shower came from her community, allowing her to simply relax and enjoy the occasion. Her friends created a baby registry, listing items she needed or wanted, which made it easy for them to select appropriate gifts.

The generosity and support of her Canadian community have been very helpful. Even though Estela did not ask for help, her friends and acquaintances insisted on contributing, including providing essential baby items like clothes. This level of community support was particularly helpful, especially given her initial concerns about affording necessary items such as rent, nursery essentials, and a car seat for the baby. The car seat was very important to purchase, as it is mandatory for transporting a newborn home from the hospital, and its high cost was a bit concerning. Fortunately, her community came together to raise funds to buy the car seat, easing one of her major worries.

Additionally, Estela is looking forward to the benefits that her baby will receive as a Canadian citizen. This includes access to various government benefits, which provides further reassurance and support during this important time in her life. Overall, the support and generosity from her Canadian community have made her pregnancy journey more memorable and positive, highlighting the difference a caring and proactive support system can make.

Estela’s journey through her pregnancy has been both challenging and eye-opening. Discovering she was expecting her third child at 38 was a significant surprise, leading to a rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows. The unexpected news initially overwhelmed her, leaving her feeling exhausted and drained, particularly during the first trimester. Her daily life had a big change, from the activities she once enjoyed, such as household chores, became increasingly difficult as she battled fatigue and grogginess from her medications. Emotionally, the pregnancy reshaped her outlook on life, with the supportive environment in Canada showing a clear gap to what she might have faced in the Philippines. The encouragement and practical help from friends and community members such as organizing a baby shower and providing essential baby items helped ease her concerns about affording necessary items like a car seat. Estela’s experience shows that having a supportive community can greatly impact life changes, like pregnancy illustrating how cultural differences and community support can significantly influence one’s journey.

So, I made a little discord. A place to chill and study together. There are also some channels to discuss games, food and art and all those other things we like to do in our downtime when we're not coding! If you want to hop along and chill with us, we're over at: https://discord.gg/zTHWJ7bagG The vibe is generally very supportive and chill. It's been a while since I made a discord community, so I'm keen to get one up and running again for the sole purpose of creating a great environment where we can support what we're all doing in life ^^

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

Life gave me a lemon tree

So I picked them for you and for me

And I made a lemon pie

But when I came by

You declared you had no need for me.

So I picked two or three

And made tea for free

But no one came

Nothing was ever the same

What was it you thought I should be?
