Healing is not a destination, it is a journey

I had two of my soul sisters over for coffee last Saturday, and like every time when we gather, we dive into deep conversations about life, our journeys and hold space for each other with whatever each of us is carrying and needs to share.

We spoke about where we were all in our healing journeys and my friend shared a quote she had seen on social media:

"If we are constantly in the state of healing, does that mean we are unhealed?"

This really made us deep in thought and we started pondering how healing is often seen as this destination that we are "healed" but soon my friend concluded:

What if there is no destination at all?

I said:

"It is not the destination that matters but the journey."

We live in a world that focuses so much on goals and destinations, when actually we got it all wrong: it is all about the journey. 

We focus so much on getting to a certain point that we can miss the most important part of our life: the journey.

What does it mean to be human? To be on this journey of being human and everything that entails for you. Yes, it entails healing. It entails growth. It entails moments of pain and fulfillment and everything in between.

So, I just wanted to remind you all when it comes to your journey. There is no destination, but it is the journey that matters. It is good to have goals but if we just focus on the goal alone, you miss this beautiful life.

Focus on being where you are on your journey and embracing where you are. 

We also spoke about the importance of such space as we were in and to be able to cry safely. That is why I am starting monthly

"More Espresso Less Depresso"

coffee meetups where we meet either online or in person in London for coffee and to share whatever may be going on in our lives - maybe you just need to rant, maybe you need to have a good cry, maybe you want to share a win - whatever it may be - this meetup is for that!

So, embrace the journey, beautiful soul. The destinations are amazing but the journey of being human is what is everything. 

Heartfully,

Essi

We all need someone to talk to and be heard, right?

That's why we're hosting a free monthly get-together over coffee/tea where you can share whatever's on your mind and get some support from a life coach and the rest of our community.I held these last year and it is something I have wanted to bring back. Every time it is a circle of love, where there is laughter, maybe some tears and inspiration by each other's stories and wisdom.

No judgment, just good vibes and safe space to chat about anything that's been weighing on you and make connections with other women. Let's lift each other up!

Question for connection

What does it mean to be human?This question was asked by Usha Hamal in our self-compassion workshop last week and it remained with me. Answering this really gives you a profound answer of how you see humanness. We are human, but we can forget that. We are not superheroes. So, remember to be kind and give yourself grace in your journey of being human. This was something I got from Usha in our workshop and wanted to share it with you all. Beautiful question to connect over.
