A Journey with Mindfulness

My Journey
Living Mindfully
Over ten years ago, I experienced a traumatic event that felt like the peak of all the accumulated traumas I had faced up till that point. It was the one that I thought would defeat me, but it didn't.
I vividly recall the moment when I realized the impact of the trauma. At that moment, I decided it would not break me but make me stronger. I stood up with newfound determination and embarked on the journey of healing. I knew I needed help, and the universe had led me, as always, in the right direction. The journey has continued until recently, during which I have learned various coaching and healing methods while embracing creativity as a form of meditation to harmonize my mind, heart, and gut instincts.
I have delved into NLP, Mbraining, and Reiki. Each approach has provided me with a new perspective and a sense of vitality and helped me to deal with many challenges I have faced in life, from living in a war-torn country, escaping war, divorce, and being a caregiver to a brain injury patient, being a single mother, and other challenges in life. These approaches have also helped me to walk the path of personal success. However, my definition of personal success goes beyond the conventional notions of career achievements, wealth, and status. True success, for me, lies in aligning with my inner aspirations, regardless of societal expectations.
​
Over the years, many have questioned why I haven't pursued coaching professionally, unaware that I have been doing it on a small scale and waiting until I feel 100% ready to take the next step.
​
Others have accused me of jumping from one profession to another or from one thing to another. But for me, and like many other creatives, having another line of creativity is a way to expand your mind and open new ways of thinking. As we find many professional doctors are artists or writers, combining these two forms of creativity helps activate the mind further; it is also one way of mediation.
​
Being creative is one way that helped me express and enjoy the process and journey of creativity in various forms, from creating by hand to writing and translation.
Through my journey, I have learned that it's important to see life from a different perspective, live in the moment, let go of negative emotions, forgive, and accept life challenges as phases, which are crucial to moving forward.
My calling is to share my experiences and help others heal through creativity, compassion, and courage while continuing to enjoy my new growth journey.

"Time“Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.”
― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment
