Accepting this is a lot easier than trying to understand it.

There isn’t a soul on this planet who wouldn’t benefit from learning about themselves and there isn’t a soul on this planet who knows all they need to know already. Give yourself the gift of therapy because you deserve it.

Find that space and take it, being born entitles us to it, regardless of the messaging we received way back when, and our Wisest Selves know this.

Imagine being off the anxiety hamster wheel that prevents you from moving forward. Imagine hopping off and walking straight forward into an exciting space. What does that space look like? Isn’t this a better use of our imaginations than to use them on things that are very unlikely to happen?

I can love you with all my being, be angry at you, and realize that anger has no impact on how much I love you. I can then choose to address my anger towards you with love and maybe then, you will more easily hear it. It is hard, and it is the quicker way to feeling seen in anger.

We all need some sort of activation to alert us to what needs healing, without it, the wounds stay hidden - making it really easy to justify patterns that don’t serve us and boundaries that cage us.

I have done so much trauma work, I can walk around the world with less vigilance and anxiety because of it AND I am still impacted by the trauma I experienced.

Let's start with something we can agree on, something we participated in occurred and it affected us. It does suck when there are unintended consequences to our actions AND we still have to own the impact whether intentional or not, that's adulting. Is it easy? No. Can we tolerate it? Absolutely.

I have so many peers being tortured by their teenagers and STILL a part of me, a very loud part, is positive that will not be happening in my house...lol this part is ridiculous...it's coming for me.

Appreciate the part of you that will protect you to not end AND find your Wisest Self to remind all your parts that you can tolerate whatever meaning you are making of acceptance, you are built to adapt and you are capable of surviving all the feelings that come with it.

I imagine it activates everyone. The knowing when to say something/ when not to, in scenarios like this, is ALWAYS the struggle for me. I am a killer with words when I want to be and that is rarely helpful when activated. The writing helps create the pause I need and the space to be more tolerant.

It is so much harder to change how we express our anger when we don't get curious about the feelings anger is hijacking.

‘I don’t know’ is power, it is truth, and it is an invitation. Be an impactable person, a growth oriented person. Saying ‘i don’t know’ is the beginning of a journey if you allow it.

Choose now, look at your choices now. It is never too late to rid ourselves of the messaging we received as young people that no longer serves us in life. NEW RULE: If it no longer serves you, prune it!

Both sides of the sentence are true the vast majority of the time and deserve to be acknowledged. This is complexity, holding all that is true at the same time.

Sometimes "i hear you" and repeating back what you heard isn’t enough. I hear a lot of things out in the world that I wasn’t listening for, and I’m not sure how relevant sound is without involving intention and compassion, especially when it comes from another human…. English is so frustrating?

In a world full of diverse voices, the real magic happens when we take the time to listen and understand each other.

Until we learn to acknowledge imperfection without shame, we carry the burdens of generations without realizing the choices we have in how we see ourselves and how we live our lives.

We have the most amazing ability to deny the things we wish weren’t true, AND we are each responsible for regulating these responses within us. At some point we are each forced into reality, it’s better to control when that happens right?

When you are pulling in the same amount of energy as you are expending, that is a sustainable way to exist whether you feel whatevs about something or ecstatic. Neutrality is a great feeling goal, a very positive one for your nervous system. It makes ‘feeling good’ that much more positive.
