How Are Your Roots?
I love roots, they can tell thousands of stories. They are hard workers too! Thanks to them trees eat the soil nutrients they need to grow strong, they also are the ones responsible to maintain plants standing strong in their place. A sick root can kill a tree and if you wanna take a plant down you have to take the roots out. That's how important roots are. Trees and plants, all needs strong healthy roots to survive.

**Humans have roots too**, not physical ones. Our roots are emotional, psychological, spiritual and cultural. A bad root will make us weak, fearful, even sick. We all need strong roots to be happy, healthy, successful and free. Also, roots can be a bad thing when it comes to humans. It can tied us up not letting us keep moving forward, it can enslave us and make us feel miserable. Having unresolved emotional issues, being brainwashed by religious practices, letting the bad things of our culture control us just results in dysfunctional walking beings feeling depressed, unhappy and lost.

Is not easy to maintain yourself free of all the drama surrounding us on a daily basis and is certainly not easy to break with the things that harms you but in order to be healthy psychologically, emotionally, spiritually and physically we all need to take all those bad roots out. The only way to be truly free, to feel happy, the be the person you want to be is to have healthy roots. 

So, I invite you today to check how are your roots. **Are they healthy or are they in form of chains?**

I'm definitely working on my roots lately.

Those must be palm tree roots. Those things always look unusual.

Good Morning..🤗
@blacklux 
My roots seem pretty grounded ... though they have been uprooted and transplanted a few times having been blown over in a few life storms.

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, muchas veces las raíces no nos deja avanzar, es como el apego, no es nada saludable, hay que cortar esas malas raíces para ser libres y ahorrarnos muchos malos momentos, solo dependen de nosotros mismos.
