If you ever feel that everything is out of control, it might be true.... However if you start to feel that is happening, you have to go inward to align your essence-unique all of those internal balances, your internal world. If you are in "danger" please get yourself to a safe space. A really quick way to do a check in with yourself is to Take a deep breath Focus on a specific point or close your eyes. Breathe. If needed, ask yourself some of your own power questions, which I can help you create. Allow yourself to move through your thoughts and emotions if needed, acknowledge them, accept them as been exactly the way they are in this moment. Tell yourself that you are safe, and know how to move forward. Breathe. Come back to the present. Does that feel better? Balance you and relax into the next thing that you must do. Relax, Breathe and repeat. Take care and have an amazing day Sarah

Featuring a broken hip-hop beat and bouncy piano sample with a vintage lofi vibe, Queen of Hearts enjoys a laidback feel and conversational style. An expression of frustration in love. Detailed in execution with smooth vocal flows, symbolising those moments of confusion caused by conflicting feelings and manipulation. Raising the need for space and reflection to escape the negativity and manifest a creeping desire to refocus, renew perspective and refind confidence alone. https://lnkd.in/eZT-nC7n

  I watched a Michael Jackson Concert clip a few days ago, and I cannot get the image of him swinging off a crane while dancing and singing over hundreds of thousands of people (I think). Do you know the manner of excellence it takes to sing well and dance well at the same time? Then doing it in that high-risk context looking over thousands of people takes it to a whole other level. The pressure must have been insane. People who do mind-boggling stuff might make it seem easy, but it takes a level of discernment and awareness to look beyond those feats and wonder what goes on in their minds especially. Little wonder, “super-stars” often resort to drugs, and alcohol, or generally have an air of excessiveness around them. I said all that to say that the pressure we put on ourselves will always tell on us, mildly or otherwise. There is no escaping, except in cases where the person is an actual real-life superhuman. Unfortunately, there is no actual real-life superhuman, let us continue to leave that to the movies, and our imaginations. I am not saying embracing mediocrity is the way to live, by all means, please shun it. However, as you aspire for the highest summits, be prepared for the steepness of the climb and the difficulty of staying at the top. 

Let’s look at understanding our expectations from other people in a different part of our lives. For instance, when people do a favour, love, or care (particularly in our region), they end up in a world where they expect to be appreciated for the things that they have done, or they do expect the same level of favour, love, or care from that individual. When they see that they have not been appreciated enough, or that they have not received a favour, love, or care, they probably do not feel that much good; they could not feel butterflies in their "stomach". All in all, it is not a good situation to be in. What if we think that doing a favour was our choice, the choice that we made with our "free will? What if we could accept other people’s free will as it is? With our free will, we choose to do a favour, to love, to care, etc. Not responding with favour, with love, or with care was related to their choice, to their "free will’ actions. No one is obliged to do anything according to our expectations. Our expectations make us a little bit stressed out or sad. The obliged person is us in this situation. If we can understand our expectations and be conscious of our free will and others, that recognition puts us at ease.
