Words With Myself

Birds of a Feather Flock Together

Typically, we seek out people that understand them. The people the best understand us can often be people who have had similar experiences as us; unfortunately, these experiences can be extremely painful, and we seek comfort in those that share our pain. This can mean that we surround ourselves with people who have the same pain and the same coping mechanisms and are hurt in the same ways we are hurt. The people that may provide you with a way out might just be the people you are avoiding.

The Person we Learned To Become

No matter where you were born, which family you were born into or where you grew up, we all had an ideal thrust upon us to obtain. We were all told who we should be, by society, by religion, by family and by the people around us. This leaves us hyperfocused on becoming who we were told to become and neglecting the discovery of who are.

Shadow Work

You cannot have light without dark. This much is known, but when it comes to ourselves many people strive to convince themselves there is only light. By keeping ourselves blind to our own capacity of evil, we allow it to rule our subconscious.

The Art Of Surrender

A common theme, but an important one nevertheless. I am learning more and more that what is often needed from me is to set the intention, let it be known what I want to create, and trust that if it is meant for me then the universe will provide.

Simple Not Easy

Just because it is simple, doesn't mean it is easy and just because it's hard, doesn't mean it is not right. We place our own limits upon ourselves, fear blinds us and after years of repeating that something is impossible, it soon becomes it. Change the narrative, re-convince yourself of the possibilities. 

Fix Fixation

Healing is not a constant fight to fix what is broken within us, healing is learning that we were never broken to begin with. Healing is acceptance, accepting what has been, what is and what will be. Healing is living in the present moment, not being distracted with fighting a lifelong war with ourselves. Sometimes it takes doing it wrong, to figure out how to do it right.

Fear Is A Guiding Light

Fear can be seen as something to remove or to avoid, but fear reveals to us the very things we must do to move closer to our purpose. Fear is there to keep us safe, but in modern society fear has gone into overdrive and become a force for enabling us to escape and run away from our destiny. What was once a tool to provide healthy consideration for personal safety has now spread to all areas of life. Fear may have prevented our ancestors from eating a poisonous berry, but it didn't stop them from eating.

Anxiety or Intuition?

Anxiety or Intuition? How can you tell the difference? Often we can feel like our intuition is guiding us to somewhere and our anxiety is pulling us away, though it can be difficult to decipher which is which at times. A gut instinct telling you not to do something, or anxious doubts eroding your self-belief? If you pay attention you will notice that intuition arrives as a statement and anxiety arrives as a question.

Letting Go of Control

The problem with comfort is that it pair with anxiety, as we know that the comfort will soon come to an end. When we make our whole life suited to comfort, we worry that when this time comes we won't be able to handle it. Those that are used to being in uncomfortable situation do not feel this worry, as they know that they situations are certain and they must deal with them as they arise. It gives nothing to fear a certainty.

Taking The Peace

Sometimes we can get fixed on obtaining comfort when what we truly are seeking, is peace.
