It’s time to find our brave parts people - the world and our children need this from us….and so do all our little parts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

‘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.

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.

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.
