Dear there ,
There are things we carry that no one else can see.
And sometimes, the things we survive aren’t loud or visible. There’s no cast, no bandage, no socially-approved way to grieve them.
That’s what makes this week so meaningful. October 10 is World Mental Health Day, and this year, I chose it to be the day I finish writing my book. Now I didn't know when I selected that date what was being recognized. I've released a level of control and allowed the universe to guide me and here we are!
This book was born from an invisible struggle. A season where I felt frustrated, angry and often unraveling inside. Writing became how I managed without allowing my emotions to negatively impact those around me and those I interacted with. Page by page. Practice by practice.
So this week’s invitation is two-fold:
Honor your invisible healing. Not just what you’ve endured, but how you’ve alchemized it.
Give gentle visibility to something you’ve carried. Even if you only name it to yourself. You deserve to be witnessed.
Prompt: What have I survived that no one else could see? How has it shaped who I am now?
Resource: Download a free meditation, Surviving & Witnessing Your Own Story. or do a 3-minute silence sit with one hand on your heart.
📘 Personal Note: On 10/10, I’ll be closing a chapter. Literally. The draft of my book is my way of honoring the pain that had no name and the power that came when I finally gave it one.
Whatever you’re holding, it matters. Whatever you’ve healed, it’s real. And you are never invisible here.
With reverence and quiet fire, GalandaB Elementa Wellness
