Knowing what would reset us and knowing we can’t have it (right now) is frustrating.
Love is a verb, like dancing, like listening, like creating, like healing, like grieving. Learning how to love each other and ourselves and unlearning toxic, harmful messaging and patterns about relationship is a practice (requires practice), another verb. Love that stays still, becomes stagnant and stuck, and stagnant, stuck love becomes something that isn’t love at all.
Waiting for others to do the work they need to do puts our own lives on hold. We need to live our lives, if others catch up, great, if not be grateful for the experience and move on.
Silence and no response is a response. Some of us need to get better at hearing this message.
We know. We know when it is time to turn a page, finish a chapter, or close the book entirely.
Maintaining connections requires time and energy. Note where you are putting in the effort and others aren’t and change behaviors accordingly.
Having to manage a younger part who wants to have a mega tantrum and tell folks exactly what she thinks is part of our growth, healing, and maturing.
Multiple, and contradictory, things can be true at once.
Being in the now, allowing life to unfold, not forcing agendas is the best way to be in relationship. It can also be hard af to actually practice.
I am Not here to be put on a pedestal or worshipped. If someone puts me on a pedestal, that is on them. It's not what I want or need.
Loving people sometimes means giving them space.
Knowing in your bones the what but not the when can be incredibly frustrating.
As a client said yesterday, those who live by the sword tend to die by the sword.
Boundaries are an act of love.
Doing research to understand the pieces at play can help calm our nervous systems.
A year ago I would have said “yeah right” and rolled my eyes if you’d told me what parts of my life would look like now. And yet here we are. Not at all what I expected or even dreamed.
The point of surrender isn’t to let go of our agency or autonomy but to let go of trying to manipulate things to be a specific certain way. Because often the Universe has an even better plan in store if we’d just stop already.
I didn’t use to believe in destiny or fate. I’ve changed my mind. I still believe in free will, and see how often that can get us in our own way too much.
