The Garden of Your Being

https://www.victoriamag.com/english-garden-jane-goodger/

Your entire being is a garden.

We plant seeds in the garden of our being with our thoughts. What seeds we plant determines what blooms.

Seeds of self-doubt, self-criticism, and self-hatred will plant weeds with fierce barbs, thorns, and bramble that will gradually wind around the garden of your being, smothering the flowers of hope, fruits of inspiration, and roots of empathy.

Seeds of self-love. self-acceptance, and self-compassion will grow a bountiful garden of healing for the world  - filling you with endless vines of compassion, gentle petals of empathy, droplets of intuition, and a harvest of gratitude.

Be mindful of how you nourish the soil of your soul - your experiences and choices are the fertilizers of your garden. Set clear boundaries for the weeds, divert the pests, and avoid the toxic sprays.

Invite the magic of the hummingbird, the sweetness of the honey bee, the grace of the butterfly, and the weightlessness of the dragonfly.

Water the garden of your being with love and kindness.

Nourish the soil of your soul - The garden of your being.
