YOU DO NOT HEAL BY UNDERSTANDING YOUR TRAUMA

"And I was so young when I behaved twenty five Yet now I find I've grown into a tall child"

One of the hardest parts about trauma is overcoming hyper-independence and understanding that you don’t have to do everything by your own strength. That there’s no virtue in suffering and doing everything entirely on your own. That it’s okay to have expectations for how you want others to show up in your life, and those expectations don’t make you a burden. That having faith means letting go of the belief that everything is in your hands and instead trusting your future to someone greater than you.

Overcoming hyper-independence is a journey in itself.

Best mineral rich waters 💧

💎 Best Overall (High Minerals + Electrolytes)

Gerolsteiner – Highest mineral content, rich in magnesium, calcium, and bicarbonate, great for hydration & bone health.

💧 Best Still Spring Waters (Purity + Alkalinity)

Mountain Valley Water – Naturally alkaline (pH 8.2), high in minerals, glass-bottled to avoid plastic contamination.

Eternal Water – Naturally alkaline (pH 7.8 – 8.2), electrolyte rich, sourced from underground springs for clean hydration.

Voss (Norway) – Low mineral content but ultra-pure with a crisp taste, great for clean hydration.

🪨 Best for Electrolyte Balance & Cellular Hydration

San Pellegrino – Naturally carbonated, high in sulfates, which support digestion.

Icelandic Glacial – Super alkaline (pH 8.4) with a smooth taste and low mineral content.

🚀 Best for Deep Cellular Hydration & Detox

Sole Water (Himalayan Salt + Water) – If you want the ultimate DIY mineral-packed hydration, mix Himalayan salt with spring water to replenish electrolytes!

next time if you ever feel like falling back to old habits just remember this

personally, there's no better motivation than remembering that there's probably many people out there who don't want me to succeed.
