Hi, I’m Anna.
Warm. Spiritual. Conscious parent & bonus-mom. Happily married. Highly sensitive person & loving my life as authentically me.
This is how I feel today.
I’m living the life I used to dream of. The life I didn’t know was possible, but what my heart was yearning for. A life filled with deep love & deep connection.
On the outside that looks like: Unconditional love for myself. And sharing that love and connection with my husband, with my (bonus) children, with my friends and family. A life filled with joy, gratitude, (self-)compassion, reflection, growth, purpose & intention.
On the inside that looks like: Me, embracing all of me. No longer afraid of challenges or pain, because I’ve changed my relationship with them. And living my purpose every single day. I live with a deep feeling of gratitude 24/7, even during difficult moments. I feel emotionally and mentally free.
This is how I used to feel.
When I was younger, few people knew that I was struggling on the inside. I used to feel lonely, insecure and plagued by negative thoughts and beliefs. I often wondered if it was just me. That there was something wrong with me. And that I was the only one feeling this pain. I knew I was sensitive and I hated that about me. Because being sensitive meant that I felt hurt by the smallest things. I used to wish I had a thick skin. I wished I was different.
And yet, on the outside I looked successful. A life many people would envy. I was that talented kid who was the pride of my family. My academic accomplishments were celebrated and emphasised. But it didn’t give me the confidence I craved. While I had enough good friends and lots of fun throughout my younger years, I still felt like there was something wrong with me - that I was too deep and felt too much. Because I knew no one else like me, I felt alone, and at times like an alien in this world
But my painful feelings were messengers: that there was a healthier way to relate to life. A way that’s about understanding yourself, so you can love yourself unconditionally and live your life wholeheartedly.
This is my message to you, dear beautiful woman.
I believe you were born with a purpose: to make this world a better place. Your depth, sensitivity & complexity aren’t a problem you have to hide - but a gift to own. Your ability to see nuances and care deeply are very much needed in today’s self-absorbed society.
I know you have a big heart and a lot of love to give. And I want you to live more wholeheartedly from that deeply feeling part of you, rather than try to hide it. Because the world needs more heart and empathy.
You loving yourself is the best gift you have to give.
