A promise to myself I actually kept

What’s a promise you made to yourself that you’ve actually kept?

Oh there are many in fact.

Once I understood how my feelings and thoughts have contributed to my illness, and how there is no way out but to change the way I lived before my cancer diagnoses, I promised the following to myself.

I will live from my heart. Meaning: if my head leads somewhere, my heart will have to examine what the head suggests and the heart will decide no matter what.

And it works.

You see – I have been a truly heart driven person since birth. Over sensitive as well, always felt everything and everyone deeply. I used to get high fever if my heart ached for any reason. Even as a child I did not stand unfairness. I got sick from it. Many times I think I was not made for this life. In our societies fairness is not a virtue. Unfortunately so.

It was the circumstances in my young adult life that steered me away from my true self.

This is in a nutshell for sure as nothing is this straight forward or easy – but down to the core I would say, for me living with the heart first means health.

Sometimes we all must decide on things with logic mostly. I do as well. But if that goes against my heart – well, my body signals to say the least. So unless there is simply no way to do things otherwise, I try to stick to the heart based decisions.

In fact I think the World would be a much more pleasant place to live if many would do the same 🙂

Love and light, Annamária
