Rumination is indulging in your pain; some therapists will also indulge in your trauma and pain. This weaves it into your personality instead of creating resilience. The path to healing is accepting your trauma, not focusing on the why or who, because must likely those variables have been removed. What you do have control of after a trauma is how you move through it. Some people want to say they don’t have control over their life or emotions, but that’s just not true. It requires effort to shift from rumination to freedom. It takes effort to change the narrative. Trauma is 💯 going to happen. The darkness is the teacher. No one is going to leave Earth without some type of trauma. We have to accept that darkness is here, we need to be aware of it, and learn from it. But as soon as the focus becomes the trauma, you have stopping living. You have stopped living in the present. 

. “At the end of this journey, what matters is how you felt during your journey, not what you did or accomplished. The Earthly chaos is perfect, yet we keep getting distracted, trying to change it. The goal is to cultivate more inner peace and joy in the midst of the chaos. The chaos will always be.”

We spend so much time worried, am I with the right person? Even before we make the commitment, we are obsessed with that question. What if I told you, there is no right person.

Everything is pretty clear, right in front of us, yet we are choosing to not see clearly. What do I mean by this? Sometimes we are attached to a fantasy or outcome; therefore we are cancelling out the red flags and giving more weight to pretty words.

Some of our narratives are holding us back, keeping us from reaching our goals. Sometimes we believe these beliefs are ours, when maybe they are not?

Love is based on freedom or fear. Fear and love cannot exist at the same time, you can only be in one at each moment, When does love become obligation and when does love become freedom?

I promise you, you will go through periods of your life where you completely loose yourself to a relationship, career, trauma, or even your children. We are supposed to loose ourselves, to find our new selves.

We are the ones that created the division in our mind of the Conscious & Subconscious by creating preferences (good/bad). We push out the negative into the subconscious, instead of just being open to experiencing life on life's terms and not our own.

Your brain is more easily trained/programmed to the negative. Following a trauma or negative incident, the brain is programmed to the negative in a way to protect you and keep you safe
