What does freedom look like to you? Is it because you are not behind bars or in jail that you consider yourself free? Do you consider yourself free to eat, do, and wear what you want?
But what about when you allow your emotions and feelings to deter you from a clear mind (emotional and mental bondage)? Are you still free when you allow your emotions and feelings to keep you in the past? To consider vengeance? To feel anger, anxiety, guilt, and shame consistently.
Do you consider yourself free when you bottle all of the emotions above and like-minded ones inside of yourself, feeling as if you are going to implode at any minute? Are you free when you do something (e.g., overeat, over-exercise, over-drink, etc.) to take your mind off of these emotions and feelings for a short time, only to have them present themselves again and continue the cycle of harming your body?
Freeing yourself is not blaming or judging yourself or others. Instead, you realize that you don’t have to be in any type of bondage, physical, emotional, mental, social, or any other. You choose true freedom, not a copycat, look-alike, or other illusion.
In Heal from the Inside Out Series #17: Freedom or Imprisonment on Creating a Generational Love Cycle, I share some of my personal experiences with the cycle of pain and the healing and life-giving that resulted from it.
So, I ask, “What does freedom mean to you?”
As always, make this lifetime great because you can!
