Finding Your Moments

How do we find our moments and why are they important? In this final Episode of Season #01, Jacqui reminds us to find some stillness within ourselves, and embrace the little moments in life.

“These moments are essential to allow yourself to breathe and to function.Take a moment, sit down with this and take some time to really think,” Jacqui explained.

“It's imperative that we each reflect and pause and find those moments that speak to us, that ignite joy. Moments that give us some downtime from the chaos and the weight of whatever our shoulders are bearing.”

Episode Transcript:

In today's episode, I wanted to take a moment to reflect and to celebrate that we have reached 10 episodes in season one of Community Creatives, and I am so happy that you've joined me for this explorative and transformative journey. It's been a wonderful side story to Community Matters Media, and I have loved sharing audio content with you and I hope that you have loved coming along for the ride. So we're going to take a little bit of a break and regroup and come back with Season 2. So watch this space. We've got really exciting things coming up. 

Hello, it's Jacqui here. Today and always I want to extend to you hope. I want to challenge you to give yourself grace in all situations. And above all, try to be a little kinder to yourself and extend the kindness that you would bestow upon to others. Make that a reality for you and how you see yourself. 

I wanted to talk to you about finding your moments. Life at times moves so fast, especially when we are faced with extraordinary challenges, that we don't think that we have capacity to bear. We have to find our moment for our mental wellness. We have to find and embrace it. Sometimes it feels like we're just looking through the window, looking through a reflective pane of glass, and wondering what life may be like if things were different and how would we bring a different version of ourselves to the situation? 

Please. Find that grace above all else. Give yourself a break. Stop -all of ‘I would do this’, ‘I should do this’, ‘if only’ - No. Stop.

We may be looking through the window and sometimes we see glimpses of how we want our life to be; but disregarding all of that; find your moments. 

It's imperative that we each reflect and pause and find those moments that speak to us, that ignite joy. Moments that give us some downtime from the chaos and the weight of whatever our shoulders are bearing.

These moments are essential to allow yourself to breathe and to function.Take a moment, sit down with this and take some time to really think.

When life moves so quickly and you feel that you're disconnected from all things and running on adrenaline and running on fumes, these are the warning signs. These are the moments where we need to stop. 

Sometimes when life is so chaotic, it feels like there’s never going to be an opportunity to stop. I get it, I understand. I've been there countless times, and I get it. 

I've had to try so hard to find my moments, even if it's a little glimpse and it fills up my cup and it heals the pain, the trauma and the wounds in my heart that feels irreparable.

I know these moments are going to support that cathartic process for me. I know when you identify what your moments are and you embrace and celebrate them, please, please make room for them, and acknowledge them. Acknowledge how you feel, and pay attention to your responses. Find your moments today and always. 

All my love,

Jacqui
