Today I wrote an Instagram post about how gratitude is often presented as a cure all for feeling good, for manifesting your dream life and moving through tough feelings, but some days it just doesn't feel like enough. Today's episode is for those who are struggling to reach for gratitude. It's not going to be for everyone, but if one person resonates with it, it will be worth it. If you connected with it, please send me a DM over at @iamtiffanypaul so I can support you xx

My Instagram Post:
11/24/2021: I remember a time when “waking up” felt like the worst thing that ever happened to me. I often thought about how much easier it would have been not to have awakened, to continue with the status quo to continue with life as I had known it.

There was safety in the system, in the illusion, but there wasn’t freedom. But in this pursuit of freedom, I was suffering. I literally felt like I was dying because parts of me, were dying off in real time.

The world I had created no longer resonated. The goals I had for myself no longer aligned. I couldn’t get myself to care. I reached for gratitude at every low moment, at every loss, at every crossroad but still it wasn’t enough. I couldn’t find my way to joy through gratitude, maybe you can relate?

Gratitude is often presented as the cure all to raising your vibe, manifesting more, living a more meaningful life but what about when it doesn’t? What about when it makes you feel worse because despite the gratitude for all you have, you still feel a deep emptiness that cannot be ignored. What if the emptiness in front of you, is one you created.

For those that have spent the last year dismantling, leaving behind, letting go, walking away, walking through the fire, shedding layers, releasing, grieving and creating space for more, I see you. Trust that while gratitude may not be the cure all to elevate you from the depths of loss and pain you may find yourself in, it still matters.

I want you to be grateful for the undoing, the emptying, the recalibrating and courage you have to walk a path not everyone will. I want you to trust you are on the precipice of something great. I want you to trust that your soul chose this for you to expand in ways you never imagined possible.

Trust that from the emptiness, you have created space for something epic. Trust that you are exactly where you need to be, even if it fucking hurts, even if it’s not how you imagined your life. Trust you will find your light again. Trust that you are supported. Trust that one day you will be so grateful for walking through this fire and waking the fuck up.🔥🔥🔥
