Healing The Present

Have you made your daily checklist?

We make to do lists, grocery lists, and calendar events but do we ever just make a checklist of things to be grateful for?

Making a list of things you are grateful for daily and posting them up or writing them in a journal can be one of the most life changing lists you will ever make for yourself!!

When is the last time you sat down and really thought about what you love about yourself, what you love about your body?

How about a list of all the little things that make you happy like the morning cup of coffee, the soft blanket you curl up with to watch a movie and having the ability to stream your favorite show?

I challenge you today to start making your daily gratitude list. Do this for 21 days and see how it can change you life.

What you do can change your emotions!

Do you want to change the way you feel? Change your perspective with Gratitude!

It is easy to get wrapped up in the everyday routine and focus on what you need to do, what you didn't do and worry about the future. It seems like an endless cycle of the Same S**t Different Day where there is no happy ending.

But did you know that simply learning to focus on being grateful every day can radically shift your perspective. Gratitude takes your attention off what you are missing in life, what you are stressing about and refocuses it on all that you do have and the wonderful little things we take for granted.

It is hard to say life sucks when you are constantly looking for all the great things you have to be grateful for.

You have probably heard of emotional baggage. It is used to describe the phenomenon of carrying past trauma or unprocessed emotions from our life experiences.⁠
⁠
Problem is these emotions that aren’t dealt, don’t just go away. They can affect multiple aspects of your life:⁠
⁠
⚠️𝙍𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥𝙨⁠
⚠️𝙈𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙒𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜⁠
⚠️𝙋𝙝𝙮𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡 𝙃𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙩𝙝⁠
⚠️𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛⁠
⚠️𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙡𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚⁠
⁠
These emotions can start to attract more of the same negative outcomes that we don't want to experience. Think about it....emotions are just energy and like attracts like. ⁠
⁠
These emotions can lead to putting up blocks to relationships and even cause you to self sabotage.😮⁠
⁠
Releasing them is so important to avoid attracting more negative in your life and holding yourself back from your full potential in anything you want to achieve. ⁠
⁠
You can release these emotions through:⁠

So much going on in the world right now....Take the time to sit with yourself.

Sit knowing that in that moment you are loved and you have many blessing all around you. All you need to do is take the time to look and see the beauty in the mess call life.

You are not alone. 🤗 Remember happiness comes from within not what is going on around you. 😊

Have a great day......everyday. 🧡🧡

It is easy to get discouraged when things don't go the way we want. 😧

It is hard to have plans that don't going the way we think they should.

It is easy to focus on the negative and get bogged down in feeling like a failure.

But like the saying goes, when one door opens there is always another opening. It can be challenging to see the door at times. We tend to overlook opportunity because of our focus on what we lost or missed out on. 👀

Be grateful for those closed doors. Those were places or situations that were not meant for you. There was a bigger plan playing out for you. Being open to new things will lead you to places and people you could have never even imagined.

So while today may feel like the doors are all closed, remember to look around and see the little opportunities you have each day. Look for the growth and good in each moment. 🌻

What door 🚪 do you see open to you right now? 👇

Be grateful for yourself.....⁠
⁠
It is easy to think about others and what they have done for you and show gratitude.⁠
⁠
It is easy to be grateful for the things like your house and car.⁠
⁠
But are you grateful to yourself? Have you told yourself with love and compassion how much you appreciate your strength and courage to make it day in and day out?⁠
⁠
Have you really sat with yourself to think about where you have been and where you are now and appreciate all the little things that helped you get this far?⁠
⁠
Take the time today to really sit with this and show love and gratitude to you .

Oh the down falls of overthinking and ruminating.....⁠
⁠
So many times we can get caught up on second guessing what we did or what we said that we can lose sight of what we should be focusing on.⁠
⁠
It is easy for our mind to play tricks on us causing us to step out of our true nature and power and question all that is really us.⁠
⁠
How many times have you questioned yourself or belittled what you originally thought was a great idea?⁠
⁠
Remember that you are more than all those negative thoughts, judgements you have about yourself. ⁠
⁠
Keep it simple, know that when you are truly being true to yourself and who you are, you are RADIANT!! No need to question who you are in your heart.

⁠
🔶How many of you have felt like you couldn't let other's know what was going on inside?⁠
⁠
🔶How often have you hidden the fact that you were not doing well with the stress of life or family situations?⁠
⁠
🔶Have you ever hidden a broken heart behind a smile?⁠
⁠
It is okay to not be okay sometimes. The worse thing you can do is deny the fact that you are hurting.⁠
⁠
Not acknowledging your pain and emotions will lead to suppressed emotional energy that wrecks havoc on your physical body and mental well being.⁠
⁠
Learning to sit with the feelings and acknowledge them is one way to move that energy. Talking openly with a trusted friend helps as well.⁠
⁠
Of course for those dealing with significant issues like depression and anxiety, getting the medical help you need is good. There is nothing wrong with getting the help.⁠
⁠
💞Working with an Body Code practitioner can supplement all of these actions.⁠🙋⁠
⁠
But the best thing to know is there is nothing wrong with not being okay. Hold your head high and know you are not alone. ❤️🥰⁠

4 Parts to Inner Child Work⁠
⁠
Inner Child work is a way to address our needs that haven't been met as children. ⁠
⁠
We all have a younger part of ourselves that was never quite loved the right way or the way they needed as a child. This is the exploration of repressed emotions and lack of support we received as child.⁠
⁠
4 big areas that are addressed when we work on healing the inner child include:⁠
⁠
1. Self Love /Self Care - so much of the emotional turmoil the inner child has is a lack of feeling worthy and wanted. Our needs were not met or ignored. As adults, we tend to ignore the intuition to take care of ourselves feeling it isn't important or somehow is selfish. We must learn to take care of ourselves and our needs to learn to love and heal.⁠
⁠
2. Healing Past Trauma - this is where the root of many of our relationship issues come from. Addressing the big AND the small trauma's we had as a child is very important. Being able to recognize when and where the limiting beliefs we have about ourselves came from, allows us the opportunity to feel the emotions we repressed and learn to have compassion for our past actions. ⁠
⁠
3. Forgiveness/Compassion - ultimately by addressing our own needs and getting to the root cause, we are then able to move forward with forgiveness towards ourselves and others. Learning to understand we only did what we could at the time with what we believed and understood about life. Being able to be compassionate with not just ourselves but others who were also doing the best they could. ⁠
⁠
4. Empowerment - Once we move through all of this work, we become empowered. We can see now who we truly are and know that the story we once believed is no longer the truth. We empower ourselves with the knowledge we can change and grow. Addressing the trauma and healing leads to improved self acceptance, improved communication, and better relationships. ⁠
⁠
Have you listened to your inner child lately? What is that lovely child trying to tell you?

𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙝𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪?⁠
⁠
When we begin working on our own healing, it is easy to get wrapped up in our past trauma's and want to point fingers 👉 at those who have hurt us.⁠
⁠
It is easy to play the blame game, and forget that those people who hurt us are hurting as well. ⁠💔
⁠
𝙉𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙪𝙨 are free from past trauma and pain, even if some of us are better at hiding it than others.⁠
⁠
Remember that when you are working through your own pain, we all are just doing the best we can with what we know and have available to us at that time. ⁠

So much of our anxiety comes from the thoughts we have. From the things we tell ourselves and we actually believe them.

At some point in life, you were in a situation or with a person that made you feel uncomfortable being yourself.

You didn't get the love and support you needed and took it to heart that you were not lovable. You started to believe that narrative.

Maybe you grew up with parents expecting you to excel at everything, so you learned to believe that if you failed you were not good enough.

Maybe you just didn't fit in, got bullied as a kid. You were different and so there was something wrong with you and that was why you were bullied.

The problem with all these beliefs is they are NOT true. Yet you fed into them with any situation that made you FEEL rejected or unloved. You started limiting yourself with your own thoughts about yourself.

Have you ever wondered how to rewrite your own story of who you are?🤔

It is possible to believe a new story, to erase the old. It is possible to release the emotions that have fed your story.

To learn more comment below. 👇

👉You are your own worst critic👈

If you are an - you are more than hard on yourself.

You tend to set your own expectations so high that it is impossible to meet them. You then beat yourself up over the fact you didn't get where you expected to go.

🛑Stop 🛑

Those mistakes you think you made are usually only in your head. Most people don't see those mistakes because they are your personal expectations and not theirs.

Have faith in yourself and what you are able to do. Be more compassionate to yourself.🤗

Did you know that energy work can restore mental and physical health?⁠
⁠
Energy work refers to any practice that works on the subtle flow of energy throughout the body to help restore health (both mental and physical) and a sense of balance. ⁠
⁠
All of our emotions are forms of energy that affect different areas of our body. When there is an imbalance of these emotions they can manifest as actual physical symptoms and not just mental symptoms.⁠
⁠
If you are having pain, your body is talking to you. There is something wrong, not just on the physical level. There are emotional energies exerting imbalances on specific areas of the body.⁠
⁠
While physical therapy can address back pain and shoulder pain, additional intervention of energy work can move that emotional energy out of the body and improve symptoms quicker. ⁠
⁠
Acupuncture is a form of this energy work as well as Reiki. Studies have shown that these alternative methods work great in conjunction with traditional western medicine. ⁠
⁠
𝙎𝙠𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡?? 🤔 I get it. But until you have tried it, you won't know if it works or not. ⁠
⁠
Learning to take control of what is going on inside of yourself to reduce stress will promote overall wellness. ⁠

To everyone who needs this reminder....

It is easy to forget to look around you and count your blessings. Before you do anything else, take the time right now to think of 3 things you are grateful for.

Say them out loud.

Now breathe in slowly through your nose and out slowly through your mouth.

Relax knowing that you are safe. You are provided for and you are accepting what will be.

Remember life is in a constant state of change, and you have made it this far, good and bad. Just breathe knowing nothing is permanent.

Have an amazing and blessed weekend. 🥰

Every time I would watch "Friends" there was something about Monica that resonated deeply with me. I loved watching someone else freaking out about how things were placed or organized. I loved seeing her trying so hard to have control over everything.

Monica seems to be a direct reflection of who I felt I was at that time. And I found comfort in knowing that I wasn't the only one out there like that.

🔹It wasn't till years later that I realized that my need to control things was all about being safe. It was my way of managing the unknown and keeping my anxiety and fears to a minimal

🔹I didn't realize that so much of my need to achieve and be perfect was my way of running away from my insecurities and low self esteem.

Many people with high functioning anxiety are good at hiding their symptoms from others and appear calm and confident. Their anxiety may even drive them on to achieve rather than holding them back.

Unfortunately, their goals are often unrealistic, and their failure to meet them only reinforces their chronic feelings of tension and inadequacy.

Thank goodness for the realization of what I was doing and finding a path to see things for what they are and addressing them at the root cause.

💡My fears of judgment, fears of failure and fears of not being good enough came to the surface with true inner work. Releasing all the emotional baggage and learning how to be present to who I truly am has made the change in me that I was looking for.💡

I am so fortunate to be able to share this process with so many.

Are you a Monica? I would love to know how she resonates with you 😊👇

⁠
How do you get away from the negative thoughts that fuel your insecurities, fears and anxiety?⁠
⁠
How do you turn off the constant noise that plays in the background all the time?

𝙈𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 is key but the problem is so many of us believe we don't have the time to do it. Or if you are like me, you try and feeling you are doing it wrong so you give up.

I have been there. I hated sitting in the silence only to be confronted with so much noise inside my head. I was trying so hard to silence it that I missed the point of the meditation practice as a whole.

Meditation isn't the same for everyone. It doesn't have to look like a Monk sitting at the riverside in silence for hours.

Meditation is about being aware of yourself in the moment. Facing the noise in the head knowing it is just that ....NOISE.

You don't have to listen to every thought. You don't have to get caught up in an idea and start the "what if's".

Being able to be in the moment makes it easier to just let those thoughts fly by like the birds🐦 in the sky.

⭐Meditation can be as simple as a shower in the morning, paying attention to the way the water feels as it hits your skin, how the soap smells and is smooth against your body, and the temperature of the water under your feet as it goes down the drain.

⭐It can be as simple as a walk, feeling the breeze against your arms, listening to the birds chirp, being aware of the sun against your face and how your feet feel hitting the ground with each step.

⭐It can be those moments when you wash the dishes, how the wash cloth feels in your hands, the silverware clanging in the water.

You don't have to run from the thoughts. It is best to sit with them, let them go by and notice the feelings that emerge. Listen to the theme that is coming up and address the lesson your mind and body is trying to tell you.

Awareness is key and Meditation brings you to that awareness. It is found in the little actions of the day.

How do you deal with your thoughts? 👇

𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙡??🤔

Seems so obvious right? Of course you want to heal, who wouldn't?

The problem with healing yourself is it takes work and it takes you out of your comfort zone. While you may not like being where you are, there is a 𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚.

You are familiar with your discomfort. You know what to expect. You find some sort of comfort in the suffering. It isn't on a conscious level, this goes deeper to your 𝙨𝙪𝙗𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨.👈

Doing something new, thinking a new way, learning new techniques are all outside your normal routine. It is the unknown. It can actually cause fear. Fear of what exactly? Fear of failure.

What if you don't follow through, what if you aren't perfect and do every step?

Are you putting so much pressure on yourself that you don't even give yourself a chance to try?

You don't have to be perfect at this journey to heal. You have to ask yourself:

𝙒𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙗𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙘𝙪𝙧𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙧 𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙤𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙣, 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨?

Either way, you aren't going to be comfortable all the time. So take a chance on yourself. You deserve it.

So why not show yourself some love and devotion, believe in yourself.❤️🤗

For so long the idea of boundaries felt wrong to me. Why?

I felt guilty for saying NO. Trying to please everyone, saying NO went against the need to please.

Problem with saying YES when you mean NO, only leads to resentment which just drains your energy.

Saying NO and having clear boundaries is actually a way to maintain your Self Identity. It also allows for you to have more energy to give to others when you truly do mean Yes.

If you are not clear on where your boundaries lie, this will cause confusion, resentment and anger. If you are sayin YES when you mean No, you are likely needing something for yourself.

Next time you feel like you are having trouble setting boundaries, ask yourself this:

What part of me NEEDS something from them?

It could be a need for approval, or a fear of being judged or a fear of being abandoned.

The best way to gauge your boundaries is to check with your belly, your "gut feelings". Tune in to your gut when you are saying YES or NO. How does it feel?

Trust your gut reaction and if you feel a NO coming up, then say it and stick with it.

An assumption is a mental leap we take without looking around first.

We just jump to conclusions when we assume what someone else is thinking or what their intentions are. We MAY have a general idea of why a person is doing something but we typically don’t acknowledge that our assumptions could be very wrong.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘦 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺.

🤔Have you ever talked with someone and watched their body language, then assumed that they were not into what you had to say? Maybe you even thought that they were thinking something negative about you?

You are assuming you can read that person's mind, when they may actually simply be distracted with something else in their life.

🤔Do you notice yourself overthinking situations? Are you preoccupied with re-running situations in your head? Are you trying to figure out what would happen if this or that might happen?

This is a waste of mental energy, the worry and thinking won't change anything now. And each scenario you planned out is based on your assumptions of what you think might happen.

𝟑 𝐖𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:

1️⃣𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 - Don't over personalize every behavior and comment made by another person. Just because something was expressed in a way that bothered you doesn't mean it was done intentionally .

2️⃣𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 - Remind yourself you can handle a situation when it arises. You don’t have to spend hours ahead of time worrying about how you are going handle it. That only creates anxiety. It also sends the message to your brain that you believe you can't figure things out. That is NOT true, have faith in yourself.

3️⃣𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁 - When you notice yourself wanting to overthink and make assumptions, stop in that moment and find a distraction such as breathing, taking a walk, dance. Do something different that gets you out of your head, distracts you from overthinking and gets you living in the moment.

👉Remember our assumptions are based on our own biases and perception of reality. What you see and what another sees can have two totally different meanings. None of which is the reality of the situation.

Are you beating yourself up every time you have anxiety?

It is easy to get wrapped up in the emotions of the moment.

Overthinking, being overwhelmed, heart racing, feeling like you just want to run away.

If you have been on the path to heal from your anxiety, it can get frustrating that there doesn't seem to be a quick fix.

It is easy to get frustrated with yourself and talk down to yourself for feeling the emotions and symptoms of anxiety.

Truly, in those moments it is best to just be compassionate with yourself. Understand that it happens and it doesn't make you a bad person or mean you are not healing.

Just remember your thoughts will pass. I mean just think about it, just prior to the anxious moment your thoughts were in check. Those thoughts and feeling come and go.

Focus on what you can control, not all the "what if's" and worries about the future that isn't even here. Focus on your breathing, focus on what you can do at that moment. Take small steps.

And remember this, you are NOT your anxiety. There is more too you than any thought, fear, or feeling. Those things change depending on your situation and the moment.

But who you are deep inside, the unique you is not anxiety. It is way more. So love that you. Be compassionate with that you!!

How can I be grateful for my anxiety?

One thing that was constant about my anxiety was my fear of not being good enough.

👉I would drive myself to exhaustion trying to do it all, please everyone and be perfect while doing it. No wonder I was freaking out in my head.

👉The overthinking and the constant negative talk that fueled my anxiety was really a message that I needed to hear.

👉I was just so overwhelmed by all my feelings and fear of the unknown and "what if's" that I couldn't see the writing on the wall.

𝘔𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴.

I was losing myself. I was putting my needs on the bottom of any list I was making. I wasn't taking care of myself and my anxiety was trying to get my attention.

When I was finally at a very low point in my life, I started to really listen. I started to feel what it was trying to tell me.

And you know what, that is when I woke up and I realized I had forgotten to love myself. I had forgotten who I was. I was now finally learning what my core values and beliefs were. I was able to really see what I wanted in life and was able to discover my true potential.

Without the anxiety, I may have never seen how out of balance I was. I may have never learned how strong I was and what I was truly capable of.

Within the discomfort of anxiety, I was able to sit with all the thoughts and feel what I was trying to hard to avoid.

𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 𝙄 𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚.💖

Have you asked your anxiety what it is trying to tell you? Have you sat long enough to hear the truth that is resonating below all those thoughts in your head?

𝘏𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘹𝘪𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧?🤗

Are you trying to ignore your feelings?

Uncomfortable feelings like anger, sadness, regret, fear, and worry are very normal feelings.

They are actually neutral in all respects, not good or bad. It is what we thinking about these emotions that make them good or bad.

We don't tend to hyper-focus on feelings like happiness and joy, rather we just feel them and accept them in the moment.

So why can't we do that with the emotions we are feeling that we would consider "bad"?

Just feel them and accept them and let them move through use. By doing this we can release the anxiety that comes along with holding back those feelings.

We can stop judging ourselves for having the emotional response that is normal for a particular situation.

Be compassionate to yourself and know that this to shall pass.

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ How do you Break the Cycle? ♥

Most of us deal with anxiety in our lives from time to time. The problem is there are many of us struggling daily, but why?

Most will tell you that something will cause an emotional response that is not comfortable or wanted. Then the negative or worrisome thoughts will start taking over.

😲𝘽𝘼𝙈....now the anxiety kicks in and it fuels the belief about the situation and the cycle repeats.

It actually 𝘽𝙀𝙂𝙄𝙉𝙎 𝙒𝙄𝙏𝙃 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝘽𝙀𝙇𝙄𝙀𝙁.

You see somewhere, sometime in your past you were in a situation that you formed an idea or meaning to that situation. More times than not it was an irrational idea that didn't take into account all the options or perspectives at that time.

That statement or belief became your truth about how those type of situations are. You associated an emotion with it and moving forward those emotions combined with similar circumstances became the trigger.
