It’s not what happens — it’s the meaning you give to what happens.
I didn’t get the job I was hoping for. I tried, I hoped, and I prepared to get the job I thought would set me on the path towards my most successful and ‘put together’ self.
My heart sank when I was rejected from the job of my ‘dreams’. And it sank deep.
Moments like these—rejection, heartbreak, and disappointment—can pull us into a spiral of self-doubt. I became consumed with thoughts of self-judgment. My mind turned into my own worst enemy:
You didn’t get the job because you’ll never get ahead, you’re just not meant to be successful, you’re not as intelligent as you think... you’re nothing.
Looking back, I wish I had a collection of Inner Beauty Rituals to guide me through the clutter in my mind and reconnect me with my highest, truest self—my Innermost self.
Our emotional well-being is constantly challenged when we don’t have rituals to center us. And these rituals, accessible to all of us, can be life-changing.
I deeply believe that each of us has something special to share with the world.
Yet, so many women I meet are blocked by limiting beliefs, destructive thoughts, and broken relationship with themselves.
As I learn to better understand and manage my emotional well-being, I feel inspired to share the simple insights and rituals that are helping me reconnect with my truest self.
We’ve all been there—moments of hurt, feeling stuck, rejected, or questioning our worth. These experiences can leave wounds in our hearts and dents in our self-image.
Why is it that two people can go through the exact same experience, yet one becomes empowered, and the other remains stuck?
Two people may miss out on the same job opportunity, and one moves on to a greater path, while the other stays held back forever.
Inner Beauty Ritual #1:
It isn’t what happens, it’s the meaning you give to what happens.
We can’t change what’s happened to us—but we can change the meaning we give to it.
One of my favourite authors, Wayne Dyer, said:
“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
I’ve used this Inner Beauty Ritual to transform the way I feel about myself.
On the days I feel behind in life, unsuccessful, and full of doubt—I remind myself to see through a new lens and transform the meaning I’m attaching to my life.
Everything is an illusion. What we see is a reflection of the stories we’ve made up in our minds—so we may as well choose an uplifting one.
Everything begins in your mind.
A break-up can either be your greatest gift or your deepest devastation. It can be an opportunity to reconnect to yourself, or it can mean you are unlovable.
The meaning you attach to any experience impacts your self-esteem, emotional well-being, and future actions.
Harnessing this Inner Beauty Ritual allows you to become empowered, inspired, and at peace with what is.
You can transform the meaning you give to your experiences—and, in turn, transform your life.
This is one of the greatest acts of self-love:
choosing to nurture yourself by cultivating a supportive inner guidance system.
This is where true beauty begins—deep within.
How can you turn your wounds into wisdom?
Reflect on a recent experience where you felt rejected or hurt.
What new meaning can you give to it to empower yourself moving forward?
A simple shift in meaning can transform how you feel, what you believe, and who you become.
I hope this Inner Beauty Ritual reminds you of the true beauty you hold within.
Let’s practice taking hold of our minds—rather than allowing untamed thoughts to hide our Innermost light.
If you’ve read this far, thank you. I truly hope this ritual allows you to feel more calm, confident, and connected to your Innermost self.
Sending all my love,
