Every end of the year I like to stop a bit and reflect on how the year gone has been and also choose my word for the next year, the word that represents the development I want to focus on.

2024's word was 'confidence'. All my life I have been hidding, doubting myself, feeling/acting small, because I have always felt not good enough so I became superficially too much to compensate.

Very often the unconscious finds ways to self fulfill your own profecy, to reinforce your core beliefs, because being too much actually pushes many people away and this ends up making you think it is confirmation you are not good enough. There is no win, It trully is a vicious circle I think many of us get into without realising.

Well, 2024 was my year to focus on this, and so I did, and so I gained a little bit more confidence.

Knowing I'm maybe ADHD has helped a lot. Many things all of a sudden made sense, and I am working hard on finding ways that work to manage my symptoms, with a lot of self compassion and patience.

Little by little I got to feel I'm all I need, I have more than I need, I'm good enough the way I am, I don't need anymore of anything, I don't need more knowledge, I don't need more material things, I don't need more money, I don't need more friends, I don't need more love, I don't need more... I am and got so much!

And let me tell you what a freeing feeling this is!

The best feeling, pure gratittude, true self love... If happiness is anything, for me it is this!

I can't forget how much Perú has contributed to this too, it has given me so much, incredible friends that feel like family, incredible opportunities to expand professionally, and, abuelita Ayahuasca, & Mama Cacao gave me their hand and I'm still held by them.

So my word for 2025 is not about getting anything more of anything, quite the opposite, it is about continuing clearing this too much of everything, simplifying life, simplifying career, simplifying relationships, simplifying self, so I can receive all good that is yet to come and allow whatever appears to be not so good to flow and serve my growth.

So the word I have chosen for 2025 is 'Opening'

I know it may seem it doesn't make too much sense, but hear me out.

I want to be connected to myself and all around me in the most loving way I can, and being intentional about opening the heart every day, every moment, is the only way to do this as it allows you to stop trying to control anything, it helps you trust yourself and the universe, it helps you see the world is not against you, quite the opposite, it is totally in your favour. It helps you see!

I have never ever been this confidently clear in my life, and although the clarity wobbles, I'm okay with that, as I know it is part of the process.

So this year, I will focus in only 3 habits, daily meditation, consistent exercise and quality food & sleep. (if the body is not okay, it is more difficult for the mind to be okay)

This is my part, this is what I can control, my channels of energy, the rest is out of my hands, so I will flow with what comes and receive & give with open arms.

Bring it on 2025, I'm ready!

Wishing you all, light & love, and tons of health to thrive on this beautiful opportunity to live another one more day, another one new year.

Happy 2025 you beautiful souls! I'm so greatful for every single one of you!

And for you? What is your word for 2025?

You would think funerals make you think about death, but on the contrary, they make me think about life, about the lives within a life, yeah I meant that, this time is not a grammar mistake.

It made me remember the life times I lived on this single yet short life.

I thought of that life when I was a child and my tamtrums were my difficulty, or the life in my tenneger years when I raged at any minimal injustice with everyone around me, when in the name of honesty I was cruel no matter the consequences.

Or that life when I was so worried about getting a good enough grade so I could do what I loved, and how in spite of the hard work it never happened and in that life I thought life was ruined for me.

I also remembered that life, in love, where love was not enough, or the life that came after that when I thought love was just painful, followed by the life where I thought I lost it all after losing my mother.

The life that followed of grief and sorrow, and the next of escapism and distance and endless work when I came to this country.

Followed by the life of I'm not good enough, the life of accumulating certificates and titles to feel I was something or I had some value in this world.

The next one was the life of relentless hard work that felt didn't get me anywhere.

This one was followed by the life of no self love, then by the life of risk and fear I couldn't step up, followed by the life of loneliness, then by the life of picking up the pieces, and then the reconstruction life which sounds good but reconstructing always takes pain and fear.

I'm fortunate enough those life times were also full of joy, parties, laughter, hope, friendships, kisses, hugs, pets, family, travel, beauty, kindness, love, comunity, learning, opportunities, praise, reward, release, trust and much more...

But my point is, those life times are gone, past, done, finito, overcomed, history..,. reason why, at least to me, they feel like different life times.

I'm now in the expansion life, quite a scary one but at the same time exciting.

Really, life is like the ying and yang, there is always difficulties and blessings, sometimes even the difficulties are the blessings or viceversa.

Life is also full of beginnings and ends, and if you are stuck on the difficulties your current life time brings, know change is inevitable, you just have to keep going, and persisting, and focusing on the good parts of this life time, there cannot be light without darkness or darkness without light, I need you to remember that. So search for the light, be the light, create the light.

Change may take place for the worst, but when it does, remember it can also take place for the better, so hold on to that hope and in the mean time reach out, to anyone, but please reach out.

We are not meant to do life by ourselves, it is not meant for us to figure out how to do life without help. Life is complex and nobody teaches us how to live it.

And if it is worth a penny, I'm here. Always.

With so much love❤️

Today is world mental health day 💓

I'm just back from 3 weeks in the amazing Perú, a magical land full of beauty and sweet kind people.

A land that has tought me a lot and have given me new friends who already feel like family 🥰

But the biggest lesson I got from this incredible trip was when I returned home.

It is the little things....

I have a gift for you all, no matter who you are or where you are in the world ❤️

On Friday, I am launching a completely free, interactive anti-pathology, trauma-informed online tool to help you understand your life experiences, your traumas, your coping styles, your beliefs, biases and thinking patterns.

At the end of the reflection questions, everyone receives a personalised profile with no sign-ups and no obligations. At the bottom of your personalised profile, you will receive lots of information about trauma, coping mechanisms, beliefs and biases.

I have set up an email to go out to all subscribers on Friday morning, and I will share this again on Friday to give you access to the tool.

Thank you so much to the 200 people who helped pilot the Life Experiences Reflection Tool.

This is my gift to you all.

A completely free alternative to the thousands of questionnaires online that only exist to tell you that you have some sort of mental illness.

All my love,

Jess x

And with this quote I will remember the day I did my first proper recorded video for my new Tik tok account.
Look at the cute setting! 😍
I loved every minute of it, practicing a lot but enjoying every moment. It is time to jump this fear!
