25 self-destructive behaviours to let go of As we get closer to New Year’s I’m focusing on being grateful for all I have been blessed with this last year, planning out what I will strive for in 2018, and choosing what to let go of that no longer serves me. Through this process, I came…

Happy Easter everyone <3 Being in Vietnam and Thailand at the moment means we have missed out on the commercialisation that is Easter in the western world.

I have to say, I love it!

Instead of being consumed about buying chocolate eggs, fluffy bunnies, and hot cross buns it has enabled me to think about the real meaning of Easter and more specifically, what it means to me.

I've never been a fan of traditional religion after a childhood of being forced to sit in church next to the two people who physically and emotionally harmed me. I found it to be hypocritical. Yet I can not deny that there is a larger force at play in this world. An energy that is much bigger than I am.

As a teenager, I was baptised in almost every religion by all those who wanted to "save" me from the sins that had occurred to me. This gave me the opportunity to experience the beliefs of those religions and I found that ultimately they were all the same...treat people with love and kindness, live with integrity to yourself and others, and trust that the universe has your back.

Consequently, I don't believe I need a religion to tell me how to be a good person. Instead, it's up to me to do my best each day to live that way.

So, as I sit here thinking about what Easter means to me, I am truly grateful for being in a country that isn't primarily Christian because it has given me the opportunity to think about Easter for what I feel are the right reasons (not the commercial reasons).

Easter Sunday and the relevance of eggs and bunnies is all about rebirth and resurrection.

Instead of focusing on chocolate (which I no longer eat anyway) and who I need to buy Easter eggs for, I am taking this day to think about rebirthing myself and the world we all live in.

How can I be a better person and how can I have a more positive impact in this world? From this day forward what can I do differently? How do I need to change and how do I need to be reborn to be a better person?

It's also a wonderful opportunity to be thankful for the love and kindness I have around me.

From a wonderful husband, sincere and genuine friends, and the most awesome family I now have and especially those who I have been able to spend time with recently.

This is what Easter means to me. What does Easter mean to you?

Is it just an added expense? An excuse to overindulge on chocolate? Or does it mean something more to you? Could it mean something more to you if you stopped to think about it?

There is no right or wrong here. Just like there never is. I'm just sharing my thoughts and feelings.

Whatever it means to you, and even if it means absolutely nothing to you, no matter what, or wherever you are in the world, I hope you are enjoying your weekend and I wish you and your family a safe, blessed and joyous Easter.

With love and kindness,

Tegan xoxo
