"Trust your heart. Trust the process. Trust the path. You have to start with one step — which is to trust yourself."
— Patricia Lim

What You Don't Have to Carry

What You Don't Have to Carry
As a very young mother, Patricia Lim took on great responsibility in the care of her children and household. She took on even more to become a psychologist, and an executive for the UN in Brazil. After learning about HeartMath in a Leadership program, Patricia “felt the energy of the field, and my heart” and began a journey to listen, even leaving her prestigious career at one point. She took many sacred paths of experiential learning in Peru, Camino de Santiago, French Camino, Nepal, and India, meeting a lot of angels including the Dalai Lama. She began to let go of what she thought she had to carry and control – “status, money, people, everything, actually.” “What I tell myself every day — and I'm still learning — is that everything we need is already inside of us. All of the love, and the life we want to live, is already inside of us.”

Be the Change

Devote some time to listen to your heart to determine one thing you need not carry or try to control. Trust yourself and trust your heart to take a first step on the path to letting go.
