New Frequency

Rest Now was created after my Crohn's Disease diagnosis. I did not respond well to the news initially. I jumped to worse case scenarios and neglected to see the situation as it was, just a situation to experience. My perception then was that I could die. My perception now is that I can live.

When I was first diagnosed, I was solely focused on the negative. So that was the frequency I found myself in, the lowest one possible. Entering that space only led to more negativity in all aspects of my life, as attraction works: as within, so without. Life is going to happen either way, what matters is how you react. With understanding, I have begun to focus on centering myself and recognizing my worth.

When I was young, I had a dog plushie that I adored. I had to get a surgery around age 5 and my body responded negatively to the anesthesia, causing me to get sick on the toy. The dog was thrown away and I never received a new plushie. I thought "I ruined that one, I don't deserve a new one," so when my parents never got me one, I further instilled this idea of unworthiness in my mind.

Having to frequent the doctor's office now, I remembered that feeling I had as a child. I figured it was time to make myself that comfort I had been searching for, the comfort I was worthy of. Time to heal some wounds. That is when Rest Now came to life.

If you are in the midst of a challenge, whether it be mental, physical, emotional, or spiritual, never forget that it begins and ends with you. You decide how you react to situations. Situations do not control you. Nothing can make you feel a certain way, that is in your control.

You will get through this.

You will grow from this. 

It is always this or better.

Remember to breathe.

Sit in silence.

Center yourself.

You are not alone.

Remember your worth.
