What we are told to believe...

Have you ever paused to notice what we’re all supposed to believe?
What lives in our collective consciousness?

Somewhere along the way,
we’re told that menopause is something you have to suffer through.
We’re told you shouldn’t complain if your children are healthy.
We’re told you should be able to combine work and motherhood.
We’re told you should be a size 36.
We’re told you shouldn’t have wrinkles.
We’re told you should take care of your parents.
We’re told you should exercise.
We’re told you should eat healthily.
We’re told…
We’re told…

When you live by these beliefs, your life is shaped from the outside in.

You do what you think is expected of you.
You go along with hypes and trends.
You hardly dare to say no.
You want to join in, to belong.

Maybe it’s time to turn inward.
To begin listening to yourself.

That can feel unfamiliar.
And complicated, especially if you’ve never really done this before.

And yet, you can trust that something within you already knows what’s right for you.

The hardest part is learning to listen.
To your needs.
To your desires.
To what you would truly like to do.

How do you begin?

By gently questioning the norms, values, expectations, and beliefs you live by.
By pausing for a moment to ask yourself why you’re doing something — and how it actually feels for you.

If you notice a subtle tension or restlessness in your body, it may be an invitation to look more closely.

Are you walking your own path?
Or are you following someone else’s?

You may choose to shift recurring family patterns:
the traditional mother role, the responsible father who places work above family, the belief that you must study, always perform, never waste time — and so on.

This asks for self-knowledge.
And the courage to look at your own truth.

It’s not about blaming others.
Not at all.

It’s about turning toward your own path.
Your own dreams.

If you feel you could use some support, you are very welcome.
