Wonderful share. I am so happy to hear it and am walking beside you. I recently asked my husband, "what if I just enjoyed my life for about six months?" I find it impossible not to do, to make, to create, to explore my curiosity, but what if I did it from a place of process and generous service instead of results and obligation. That's where I'm at.
What I would like to hear most from you is what you know about where the rubber meets the road in rumination and healing. What are the obstacles we all come against the most and how do we most past them--not in a hurried way, but in an integrative way that will hold us for the long run instead of giving us short term relief?
Thank you, Meagan. Your comments mean a lot. I appreciate you too and am grateful you are on this journey with me. I absolutely love your idea of imagining what we would do with six months to simply create without feeling the need to perform. For me, I would stop trying to be heard on social media and instead, I would focus on running more workshops using The Adverse Childhood Experiences Guided Journal... and I’d write a little poetry too 😊
How serendipitous you should mention rumination. My next book is on exactly this topic and is due to my publisher on May 15th, so I’m currently immersed in it. I can’t wait to share everything I’m learning!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful insights. I can relate to giving away too much. Being born into a role where my value was in how helpful or useful I could be to others, has made it challenging to feel deserving of that same care myself. I am interested in learning more about how we heal those hurt parts of ourselves and become whole.
You are not alone in these feelings. So many of us struggle with giving ourselves the care that we so readily give others. Turning toward ourselves with compassion is a great first step towards healing. I definitely will be exploring these topics more throughout the year.
