Instagram With Irene

  • “Travel isn’t always pretty. It isn’t always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But that’s okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind.” - Anthony Bourdain ...and why I haven't posted lately, my friends. It hasn't been all champagne and confetti on my first week of travelling with my husband. I caught a staph infection on my face which I had to take antibiotics which I had a reaction to making me feel really ill and affected my gut. I then got salmonella which threw me right off. So... a situation beyond my control. What are you to do? I was upset and angry, I thought it was unfair, but I needed to stop fighting and have compassion and love for myself. If I didn't bring in self-acceptance then I would've been banging my head against something that I couldn't change in that moment causing more friction into my life. And self-acceptance doesn't mean you settle, or tolerate, or give up; it simply means practicing unconditional love and making peace with what is. And through it all, loving and accepting yourself where you are right now, as you are in this moment is SUPER important. Where in your life do you have no control? Where it's teaching you to bring in self-compassion and self-acceptance? That this is the very thing that you need to learn and have control over. xo, Irene
