When this popped into my feed, a flood of thoughts surfaced that I felt compelled to share. BTW itās not like me to post my own words, as Iāve tended to leave āthe inspiringā to others like Les Brown below, by simply reposting existing quotes, sharing othersā stories and videos by poets, authors and artists. But as I heal my own Iām finding that I may have something worth sharing, and if it helps you or anyone through a confusing, dark or difficult time thatās worth the time. So youāll be seeing more from me, when the time is right ā„ļø. The quote below inspired these thoughts which seemed worth penning āļø|
Surface level living has been hard to break out of āfor me anywayā especially when childhood wounds are on replay, resulting in a tendency to engage in the same old relationship patterns (usually the ones we used as a kid, which now play out unhealthily in our current adult relationships). It takes a lot āof pain, awareness, energy, humility, courage, and self-compassionā to start the āreparentingā that we all probably need if we want to let go of unhealthy relationship patterns that we rely on for basic emotional (and sometimes physical) survival. If we donāt do the work to reparent ourselves āor put another way remap/rewire our brainā weāre going to continue the same olā song and dance, finding more of the same type of people coming in and out of our life, hurting us the way we were hurt earlier in life, coping the only way we learned how, and simply repeating old patterns. Itās an arduous process to create internal shifts but trust me itās possible and more importantly itās peaceful. So take the chances and the time to find & youāll experience so much āØ If youāre interested in learning more about reparenting, say so. I might know someone š who could help.
