I had never heard the concept of clinging but it made so much sense.

When I attach to outcomes that I prefer those expectations can rob me of my reality.

I'm not going to see what IS if I'm insisting on the image in my head of how I believe it should be.

I had someone ask me if I knew these were phones from prison.

I chose this photo on purpose. Many people feel since they have been incarcerated that they don't matter Or have a purpose. That is not true.

Their calling is often incredibly holy.

Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you.

That's the thing about self sabotage it makes you believe you're problems are unique.

They are not.

There are no knew problems only solutions.

If one thing doesn't work I try another. That's literally my job. Giving up is not

Self-compassion comes from recognizing that our imperfections are part of being human. Those who can tap into it recover from hardship faster.

@neffselfcompassion, a psychologist who specializes in self-compassion, sees it as giving “ourselves the same kindness and care we’d give to a good friend.”

When we make mistakes or are unhappy with ourselves, many of us will self-criticize using words we would never say to another person. This not only takes a toll on our self-esteem, but also reduces our ability to show resilience in the face of difficult situations and can trigger physical reactions, such as spikes in the stress hormone cortisol.

Being gentle with ourselves is key. In her book “Self-Compassion,” Neff cites a study that found that “the more self-compassionate versus self-critical that people were, the lower their cortisol levels and the higher their heart rate variability” when confronting stressful situations.

Self-compassion is associated with greater happiness and satisfaction, fewer emotional difficulties, and less anxiety. As psychologist Mark Leary observes, self-compassion “can be an antidote to the cruelty we sometimes inflict on ourselves.”

Let's be kind to ourselves. What is one nice thing you can say to yourself the next time you make a mistake? 💛

Waking Up Free

How can I be thankful for the death of a loved one?

How can I be thankful for the loss of income?

How can I be thankful for a sick child?

Every single thing that happens has lessons in it. Some I'm ready to learn, others that I push away because the pain is just too big.

I evolve through suffering, if I'm awake and paying attention.

It's taken a lot of mistakes to get to this awareness.

A few things I've learned:

I've learned not to fight reality, accept then take action.

I've learned how to feel grief instead of taking out my pain on others.

I've learned how to help those suffering with the same problems.

I've learned how to pick myself up after falling.

Not easy lessons that I invite but life keeps showing up with curriculum I might as well learn something

The more I practice the easier or gets.

I used to get so hurt when anyone said or did anything negative to me. Hurt then of course anger.

Now when anyone is hurtful it might sting for a minute then relief washes over me.

I don't live that way anymore.

I don't have to prove my worth anymore.

I don't have to seek revenge anymore.

I just have to love.

A person in battle with themselves doesn't need me to hurt them, they are already in pain.

My job is to be a light bringer.

The one thing that I know 100% is that I am not alone and that carries me.

I paid attention to my thoughts for just 1 day and every time I caught myself labeling or complaining I wrote it down. It was very eye opening.

Today is the day💗

Oh no it's Monday 😩

Oh wait... I'm alive, I have an income, a family, a bed, a friend, a meal, a prayer, a heartbeat...

It works every time. ❤️

I'm flawed and guess what? Who cares?

I'm still learning and guess what? Who cares?

Nobody gets this thing right... nobody.

We just have varying degrees of being ourselves or who people believe we are.
Who cares?

Just be yourself and if someone doesn't agree... Who cares!?!
