Your feelings are not something that needs to be fixed.
The personal growth and wellness industry is thriving. My news feed is filled with tips, ideas, practices, and products that will "change your life," "get rid of all your problems," and make you a "better, happier person." Sure, there are benefits to drinking lemon water in the morning, dry brushing, taking time for yourself each day, and all of the vitamins that are being promoted everywhere, but even if you had the time and money to fill your day with every tip, spiritual practice, exercise, meal plan, and product, you would still have problems. There's nothing we can do or buy that will "cure" our humanness, and why would we want to? How amazing is it that we get to experience a huge range of emotions and complex experiences?!
It's a dangerous game to play when you start thinking that if you change your diet and routine and buy a bunch of supplements and products that it will change your life and make you happy. If you're looking for a product, ideology, or practice to make you happy, you may end up with a high-maintenance routine that stresses yo out and too many products that aren't right for you. (Believe me, I've been there!) Instead of searching for happiness in the wellness industry, embrace yourself and your humanness as you are. When you know who you are, what works for you, and that your life will always ebb and flow, it's much easier to block out all the noise and choose routines, practices, and products that actually work for you.
I've been thinking a lot about the purpose behind Rational Astrologer, and this is it. I want to help you know yourself so well that you're able to drown out the noise of the world and find what's meant for you. I want you to embrace every part of yourself and your emotions instead of fighting against who you are. Astrology is a tool for self-exploration and growth that takes you as you are. In the busy, loud world that we live in, it's easy to feel like we're not enough if we're not constantly doing, buying, and changing. My goal is to help you discover that you are enough, and everything you need to live a full life is already within you.
