Clearing the Wreckage

Hey What's up Wreckage Clearers? In this episode we discuss what it means to acknowledge and admit. What it looked like for me at a certain point in meh life as I continue to share my story with you. I'm hoping that this episode gives us all some strength and hope that with acknowledging and admitting we are creating an opening into our minds and into our hearts where we can now go in and see what needs to be cleared. At was at that point, I stood at the entry way of my mind and my heart, granting myself permission to enter. What is it that you need to acknowledge and admit? What is it that has you at the place you are in? Do you feel stuck? Is it fear? Is it comfort? For me it was both of those. Let's clear the wreckage together by taking the time to look inside.

Hey my wreckage Clearers! Last week we discussed the four A's which brings us to this episode of diving a little deeper on the first A which is Awareness. How many of us go throughout our day without even noticing our breath? How many of us are constantly on the go? In order to become aware you must have a moment of stillness. For me, I had to have that moment of silence or stillness in order to become aware. That's what I decided to share with you today. We are still sharing the story of how I became a butterfly and this was definitely a vital part of the journey.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! We discuss today how I began the process of letting go of and how I was able to allow God to then direct my life. It may sound simple but it is not easy to do. Especially for someone like me who was at that time very stubborn and was living in the illusion that I had total control. Today I give you 4 A's. Awareness, Acknowledgement, Admittance, and Acceptance. For me, this was part of the process of letting go and how it helped me clear that wreckage of believing that the only way I could control things was by escaping. As always, I keep it 100 with you and divulge into my life and my story and I believe and know that you can identify with me. I also know that we are here to walk together and clear the wreckage together as one. love you.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers! Are you at the point in your life where you seem to be stuck? Are you afraid of change? Are you afraid that you may lose your very self or the self that you have known or been familiar with all your life? Well I definitely have been. I share with you today how I was primed to become a butterfly from birth as a caterpillar. I just did not know it. Also when the process was taking place, I did not know what was happening. Have you felt lost? I'm sure you have just like me. I'm here to share with you that maybe during that time in your life means that you are getting ready to form into a beautiful butterfly. Do not fight it just trust the process. Just as the caterpillar does.

 Hey my Wreckage Clearers! In this episode we discuss the hard stuff but we must because depression is real and some of us have it and are going through it right now as we speak. You are not alone because I have depression and I share with you how I was going through it at that time in my life. I also share with you what those symptoms are and how during that time of my life I was definitely feeling just about all of those symptoms. There is hope and help for us though if we are willing to seek it. I know it is tough and it is really hard to get out of bed or even move or even want to talk to anyone because we may feel as if others do not understand. I totally get it and that's why I decided to share this part of my journey with you so that you can be reassured that you are not alone and it is ok to not be ok. What I have found though is that therapy really helped me and exercising or going for a walk or even journaling were ways that I was trying my beat to clear the wreckage. Let's cry together and let's walk together and let's also laugh together.

  What up my wreckage clearers. On this episode we get down and dirty and raw. Unfiltered truth and reality as always. We are going to talk about the victim mentality and how it holds us back from growth and personal development. How it can keep us stuck. Repeating the same cycles and same default behavior. Why? Because for the most part it is something we created ourselves so that we would not have to take responsibility for our own actions. We can tend to believe that we really are the victim. Truth is, we are not victims. Our problems maybe but of our own making. Or life just happens and trauma and suffering may come, but will we choose to grow from it or stay a victim of it. Your choice!! I choose to be the victor!!

 Hey my Wreckage Clearers! in this episode we discuss how comfort keeps up stuck. It keeps us bound to the same level of life. The same routine. The same behaviors. The familiar. The known. We all have vices and or something we escape toward to bring us comfort. It could be food, sex, drugs, alcohol, or it could be our default behaviors. Such as yelling, screaming, shutting down when we are triggered. These certain behaviors give us a sense of comfort. But what if we became too comfortable? Even in darkness our eyes can adjust. Are we becoming to comfortable in the darkness? Well I explain to you how in the uncomfortable is how I was finally able to see light and look within and began to clear the wreckage. In that darkness and in that discomfort somehow It became familiar and I became comfortable with the darkness. It wasn't until it all became really uncomfortable, that there was a chance for change and a glimmer of hope. Maybe it is time for us to realize that the discomfort is there to help us evolve and grow and produce wings and turn into a butterfly.

 Hey My Wreckage Clearers! In this episode we discuss how darkness has now fully enclosed around me. I am now in my cocoon and I am afraid of the dark. I don't know why this is happening. I don't understand and because I don't understand, I must escape. However, you cannot escape the darkness. Every where I turned it was more darkness, there was no light. You cannot escape this type of darkness, by trying to escape it all I did was prolong the stages of darkness. I also share with you how because of the pain and the hurt I was feeling it was too much to take. Have you ever felt that way? Where you just cannot take the pain or the feelings of heart break or hurt or even disappointment or abandonment or even death. You are so used to the familiar that this unknown is way too scary for you to experience. This is what I was going through at that time in my life. I encourage you to clear the wreckage and do not prolong the stages of darkness.

Hey my Wreckage Clearers!! It has been a journey hasn't it. Well, it's time to go into the dark places where you and I do not want to go. It is total darkness and we can't see and it feels like complete desolation and doom. However, the darkness has to invade so that there will be light. Eventually we must and we will if we allow the process to take place without interrupting, come to light. I am sharing this episode with you so that you know exactly what not to do. When the darkness is closing in, stay in it and trust the process. Know that there is a good reason for everything to be dark around you. It has become dark so that light will invade your heart. The problem is, we just don't know when. Instead, we disrupt the growth process and take matters into our own hands. I openly disclose what happened during that time in my life, in hope that you will not repeat the same cycle. Hoping you will learn from my mistakes in this one. However, later on down the line, you may come to know that the darkness was necessary, right now it may be a little hard to see. Well yeah!! Cause it's dark!! Lol!

 Hey my wreckage clearers! Yes, we have anther great episode on our identity. Which could feel like there is a crisis going on when we cover ourselves with this constructed identity. I am here to share with you how from the very moment we were born, our identity is being constructed. The only issue is that it is being formed by others. However, the beauty in this is that it is needed to be formed by others. Simply because there is no way that when you are born that you know who you are, neither do you even know anything at all. You have to be taught things. These things that we are taught help us to create what I like to call "ego structure." Stay with me on this journey as we clear the wreckage in order to grow and evolve into our true identity, our true self.
