The Power of a Positive Mindset Isn’t About Pretending Everything’s Okay

It’s About Being Honest With Where You’re At
I hesitated to share this.
Because it felt too vulnerable, too intimate.
But if I’m going to be real… I can’t only share the light.
I’ve got to bring the shadows too.
Since my Awakening, I’ve tried to stay strong.
To stay hopeful.
To think positive.

But underneath all that effort… I was scared.
Scared to say I wasn’t okay.
Scared that by admitting how much I was struggling, I’d attract it more.
Or that I’d be judged.

When Positivity Becomes Pressure
The truth is, trying to manifest from that place…
It wasn’t working.
Because I wasn’t being honest.
Not with myself. Not with anyone else.
I was just masking my fear.
I was still holding onto a victim mindset — without even realizing it.
And that energy?
It doesn’t match what I’m trying to call in.
My Quiet Breakthrough
It came in a soft moment.
While it took courage to admit I was afraid.
To admit something isn’t working.
To reflect on my own patterns.
To sit with the parts of me that felt small, scared, and unsure.
By letting my inner child feel scared without shame,
Became a turning point. So, I started to write.


Breakthrough Reminders
You won't manifest from a victim mindset.
The frequency just doesn’t align what you're calling in.
Acceptance is the first shift.
Seek to understand.
Allow yourself to feel.
It's your chance to meet yourself with honesty.
By accepting and understanding, you shift your perspective.
This is a lesson — not a punishment.
Growth has growing pains. This is one of them.
You're expanding beyond what you used to be.
You can still grieve the loss and feel the hurt.
But you can choose to change the energy you carry with it.
Your energy—your vibe—is felt.
By the people around you. By the universe.
That’s the frequency where manifestation begins. Be intentional.
– Your authenticity matters.


Why I’m Sharing This
Because the more I show up in my truth. The more I understand others.
The more I realise my work in Devined.
Healing isn’t about pretending to be okay. It doesn’t come from being fully healed. It comes from sitting with my own shadows and learning how to hold space for myself and others.
And this is why I offer Honohono Healing, not because I’m fully healed.
But because I understand, I’ve walked through the dark. I still am.
I'm learning how to hold space for myself and others.
Healing Doesn’t Always Look Graceful
Sometimes it’s messy.
Sometimes it’s raw.
Sometimes it breaks you open in ways you didn’t ask for.
But it’s honest.
And that’s where real transformation begins.

If You’re Somewhere In-Between…
If you’re somewhere between holding it together and falling apart, You're not alone.
I see you. I honour where you’re at. Your healing is sacred.
