24.01.2022 Yes, we all have our traumas, our injustices, our tragedies, even our abuses. This is not to say these are not valid and dont cause us unhappiness. And, we hav...e a right to our unhappiness. But, we need to ask ourselves at some point how much we are holding onto our unhappiness as a safety blanket. As a way to hide from potential happiness because that actually feels scarier and less known. Plus, that would require accountability and action. A situation is always neutral if thats what our thoughts about it are. We classify everything as good or bad. Only we create our own stories, our life narratives. We get to decide our thoughts about a situation and how much we allow it to consume our emotions and thus, our life. I am not saying we fake positive think our way out of real shit, real pain, real trauma. I truly believe in the transformational power of processing. Of moving through something, not dancing around it or pretending its not there. But for many of us we are holding onto unhappiness as if it is some long lost friend or savior. And then we blame our unhappiness on other people, on circumstances, on situations. It might be time we start detaching the feelings and thoughts about something that has happened from the thing that has actually happened. Let it just be something that has happened. Neither good nor bad, neither worthy of unhappiness or happiness. See more

17.01.2022 The whole planet is riddled with misplaced aggression. Its more popular than strawberry cheesecake. People are so overcome with repressed rage, that it simply ...has to leak out somewhere, often in the direction of innocents. Sometimes it comes through as physical violence, and more often in the form of emotional abuse, passive aggression, scapegoating and persecution. And none of this will change, until we learn how to deal with our unresolved emotions from an early age. Until society normalizes the sharing of our woundedness, and normalizes techniques for healthy release. Until we learn how easily humans are traumatized, and create conditions that prevent it. We do this, and we change the world. We dont do this, and we are doomed to destroy each other (and our planet). Because all that trauma forces us to repress our memories and dissociate from reality. It compels us to choose paths that are not amenable to healing and wholeness. It turns us into a splintered symphony of suffering. And in a splintered state, we cant help but do damage to ourselves and others. To break the cycle, we have to get to the roots of our aggression: our unresolved pain and anger. We have to fully own what we are carrying. We have to heal this humanity. See more

16.01.2022 What if it’s only a 'nervous breakdown' if you bottleneck and bury the emotions that are trying to come through you? That’s what causes the breakdownthe resist...ance to what is, the stopping of the process before it has an opportunity to move toward realization and resolution. What if something beautiful is actually happening within you, something that wants to heal and move into full authenticity? What if this is not a nervous breakdownbut a nervous break-througha profound emotional cleansing, a dissolution of the false structures that have ruled your life, a breaking through to a more authentic state of being?

14.01.2022 Its the unseen load that weighs us down the most: the repressed wounds, the perpetual anxieties, the relational disappointments. It is all too easy to lose sig...ht of what burdens us, not even realizing that hardship has become our habitual way of being. Even if we dont want to reveal our burdens to others, we must reveal them to ourselves. We must bring them into our own light. We must unpack them piece by piece, memory by memory, until the load lessens and we can breathe again. It is the accumulation of toxic matter that destroys us. When we stop unpacking, we start decaying. Empty, empty, empty See more

07.01.2022 There is an interesting relationship between the inferiority complex and the superiority complex. All too often, people bounce back and forth between these ...two experiences of self. Locked into a self-hating inner world, they over-compensate by jumping to the pretense of elitism. Traumatic and extreme childhoods have a tendency to catapult us into very polarized terrain. We are either this, or we are that, but we are never the shades of grey in between. I went through some of this as a child. In one moment, self-diminished, in another moment, a faux superhero and smarty-pants ready to take on the world. This mechanism served me for a time, but it eventually wore out its welcome. After all, there is a point of sacred balance: a healthy ego that recognizes its significance without imagining itself all that. To reach this place demanded that I do years of therapeutic work filling in the middle. To build my sense of self until it was strong enough to admit my imperfections and honor my value. This is the work of our lives. To stop swinging between unreal self-identifications, and to embrace every part of us. Not perfect. Not horrible. Human. See more

06.01.2022 A TRUE FRIEND A true friend stays present with you in times of sorrow. She listens deeply, feels what you feel, but never tries to fix or change you. ... She knows you are not broken. Be a true friend to yourself. - Jeff Foster

05.01.2022 A bit of mild humour for the day.
