Like America, you probably want to become fully independent. You want to make the decisions for you that you believe will be best.  Emotional independence is the goal.  Do you know the process of achieving it??

How was your day? Good?  Bad?  Mediocre?  Do you think you deserve a reward for such a day? A reward, like ice cream? Ask yourself, "Did I do enough to earn ice cream as a reward?"

How you are 'seen' isn't as important as how you 'see' your-self (two words).  Is your subconscious your friend, or your enemy? What do you think of yourself (one word)?

Sometimes, does it feel like life is going around in a big huge circle? The you're taking 'looks' straight, but you seem to always end up in a similar situation or result.  I think of this as "The Clover Leaf Pattern".  I mimics the old highway system's solution to changing direction when you're traveling an interstate. Does this resonate with you?

Just wanted to share my experience attending Brandi Carlise's "Echoes Through The Canyons" 3-Day festival.  One can learn a lot about humanity by watching folks outside of your comfort zone.

Have you ever noticed that you've had similar experiences with some things in your life that others have had?  Do you ever share your experiences with others? If not, why not? Every human being has a story.  Here's why we all should share them more often.

Have you ever hurt someone or been hurt by what was said and wished you could take it back, but you can't, given it's been said and heard.  So what next?  Maybe, you can make amends, because really, you can't take it back.

How did you develop your individual sense of 'self'?  What kind of shirt do you like to wear? What style of shoes? Pants? Coats?? Did you have the same journey to 'self' that I did when it comes to style???

Mindfulness is a meditation practice I've gotten interested in because of my fearful/avoidant attachment style.  The technique starts with focusing one's attention on the breath and how it interacts with the body.  This engages the frontal cortex and gets a person out of their 'lizard brain'. Wanna know the difference between a reaction and a response?  Check this episode out.

Remember, you have been through a lot to make it to where you are, that's your 'evidence'!!
