Life isn't supposed to be tolerated, miserable and full of fear.

I already spent way too long in the dark, I'm walking in the sunlight.

So much freedom in this.

There were so many things I didn't do because I was always worried about what other people would think.

There will always be someone ready to criticize but it has nothing to do with me...

I recall being invited to go 24 hours without labeling things right/wrong/good/bad.

It's really hard to do at first but after a while I began to recognize how much of that mental dialogue was going on inside my head.

A lot of arguing, criticism and blame. Just the noticing helped me to stop being so ready to argue with everything I didn't accept.

This to me is literally that space between stimulus and response .

It's the transcending of that pain that brings about consciousness. Can't stay in victim mode and awaken.

Strip away the expectations of others.

Strip away the expectations of the World.

Strip away the programming we're given in a hundred different ways.

Strip away the tiny, invisible strings that hold me down and shine.

Suffering is a portal if I use it instead of run from it.

It didn't feel like a gift but it is.

Not an attack on anyone that raised us. It just is.

This is how children form the conclusions that will ultimately play out for them despite knowing as an adult that they are not healthy.

The bottom line is we aren't born thinking we're fat or unworthy of existence. Catch the thoughts and beliefs and turn them around.

There are days I forget but it does not make it any less true.

Feelings are literally for feeling but sometimes those feels are so incredibly painful we don't want to feel them. .

One of the first things I started doing when I had bad feelings is acknowledge them and understand that

***I can feel bad but that doesn't mean I'm bad. ****

Feel the feelings but know that I'm not that emotion.

Feels are real and often scary but that is a natural, biological part of being human.

When people don't like themselves how are they supposed to love others? They can't. Seek out people that love and appreciate you for who you are, not who they think you should be.

Always pointing out other people's flaws and mistakes is a sign of insecurity.

Sunday is the perfect day

Our mind doesn't like not knowing anything. It struggles to make sense of every thought we have. So sometimes when we feel a little lost our mind causes panic and anxiety and we assume we are "doing it wrong," or that "we're going in the wrong direction " with whatever we are doing. But that's definitely not always true! Don't forget our thoughts aren't to be relied on, they usually aren't even true. Try getting into a quiet space with yourself preferably out in nature. Then once you've quieted your thoughts through deep breathing or meditation, become aware of what's really going on. Whatever your situation is, look for the truth in what you've been doing. Perhaps you'll discover you do need to change course a bit on a few ideas, but perhaps, you're going in the right direction and you just need to get out of your own way by not listening to every thought you have....sunday is a great day to do some editing, give it a try. ~Amy~☕️
