Recently something horrible happened to me... something I thought I had already healed from and overcome, but once again the universe BOOM put me to the test 😪 I want to share it here because I know it can help many of you, because the truth is we are always in constant progress, and because we truly need to be more compassionate with ourselves 💗 I come from a divorce that broke me two years ago, one where I had to learn to stop pleasing everyone, to stop putting everyone else above me, and to have a voice even when I was afraid to speak. I’m currently selling what used to be our home, and a buyer came along who, from day one, had terrible energy. Wanting to close this chapter quickly, I ignored some red flags. This woman yelled at me, threatened me, and I just let it happen in order to “keep the peace” of the transaction and the sale ... at the expense of my own peace of mind and what I knew was right. In the end, this woman backed out one day before closing, and I felt awful. Right then, I’ve felt like vomiting, I’ve cried a lot, and I’ve felt terrible for not trusting what my intuition had clearly told me. But that wasn’t even the worst part, the worst was when she called me saying “poor you, a single mother,” and that she’d give me half the deposit. I’m telling you, there are people out there with bad intentions who don’t care about anything and have zero integrity. We’ve had to go into a legal fight over the deposit, but beyond the money, this situation hit me hard because I felt like I had failed myself. Deep down I always knew this deal wouldn’t work, yet I let it happen. Now, though, I can talk about it from compassion instead of anger toward myself and that’s why I can share it. We are always healing, and the tests life throws at us are tough, but each time we gain more awareness. I can’t compare the Lorena who allowed so many things in her marriage with the Lorena who allowed this woman to treat her that way, I’m proud of myself because every mistake I’ve made has shaped me into the woman I am today.

Talking to my 7 year old daughter last night I told her:”there are million ways to get to B from A. You will have your way, I will have mine and someone else will have a different one! All of them are awesome ❤️ dedicated committed people always get to B if that’s what they want ❤️ Some people will get there faster, some will get there slower, each one have their own pace & way.. some will get there after a lot of work and some may even clearly see the opportunities to get there and jump somewhere else ... you need to respect everyone’s path, they are not wrong because they aren’t doing it your way! You need to learn about their ways and never ever judge them, you don’t know what a person is going through, you don’t know their reasons and specially they are not you ❤️‍🔥

Happy Day to all! I just wanted to share that what has most impacted my mental health has been community 💚 having people around me who have pushed me to become better, who told me during hard times that everything was going to be okay, and who were my support on my loneliest and lowest days. Being in community is truly powerful and healing. There are people here in this community who when I didn’t post anything reached out to me to check on me, so kind 💚 community is the best ✊🏼💪🏼

Easiest way ➡️ Light some candles at your next meal at home. I do this at dinner with my daughters, and the look of happiness on their faces is priceless! I believe that doing things that fill our souls, those little details in the middle of our daily crazy life, is what it means to live more and better 💗

Movement (not motivation) is the TRUE tool for mental and emotional transformation. Most people wait to feel motivated before taking action, but it’s in taking action regardless of how we feel that real transformation begins. Through small daily actions, we can reprogram our mindset and build evidence that ultimately creates self-love, confidence, resilience, and unshakable self-respect ♾️ . If you are feeling stuck in any aspect of your life, maybe is healthy eating, exercise, relationships, work, you name it.. the one thing you need to do today is just start moving in the right direction, don't wait until you feel capable, until is not messy or is the "perfect time" start NOW little by little, if ALL you could do today was 10% then 10% was your 100% today, stop being hard on yourself in the middle of chaos!!! We ALL have challenges along the way, I know I have been facing quite a few recently, just pivot, take a rest, reset, but KEEP GOING because that is the WILL that can help you build evidence, just keep going 🔥♾️
