I enjoyed reading this author's thoughts & experiences around emotional authenticity (or rather the conditioned and enforced LACK of) in our Western culture. Why do we feel that 'fake friendliness' is better than just being real? Have we become so uncomfortable or afraid of our humaness? #emotionalauthenticity #emotionalhealth #feeling #keepingitreal #feeltoheal #fear #humancondition #fake #authenticity #life

The more we judge our journey and reject our 'imperfections', the less we have to learn. How interesting would we be, if our lives took a straight path, no challenges, twists or face-plants? Perfection is a pity...where can one grow or go from there? Resolve to be resilient, willing, courageous...with humour as your ally. We came here to be human, remember? #purpose #humancondition #life #journey #perfectionism #selfacceptance #adventure #innocence #soul #selfdiscovery #destiny #freespirit #resilience #courage

I like the way this author explains this; our reaction to people who irk us. In my approach we don't avoid or run from our triggers. Self-inquiry into why we feel a certain way, what is 'coming up' for us is valuable information, providing a powerful opportunity to develop our strongest, best self. Everyone is a reflection. How we see and react to someone gives us insight into parts of ourselves we may be disowning; parts we would rather not face. Sticking with this inquiry ...can reveal to us the 'weakest links in our chain'. It is possible to become rooted in ourselves, resilient and less rattled by others. Otherwise, the world becomes a landmine to tiptoe around, avoiding people and triggers, when really they are within us, just waiting to get ticked. To heal into sovereignty, we need to take responsibility for our own triggers. #toxic #letgo #triggers #life #resolve #innerstrength #mirrors #selfdiscovery #personaldevelopment #courage #shadow #selfaware #authenticity #runners

Our fear of fear...and fear of feeling scary feelings is often bigger than the feelings or event itself. It helps to break time down into tinier moments (1 day, 1 hr, 1 min at a time until you're 'right here'). Touch your body...you are still in it, you are here, you are breathing and you are making it through. Trust that your body knows what to do in each moment. If you've made it this far, you will continue farther. #fear #anticipation #future #anxiety #thoughts #presence #resilience #emotions #presentmoment

Ah, this time of year is the best time to have your resources planned, so when overwhelm happens, you know what to do! Be gentle with yourself. It's OK to opt out of activities that are just too overstimulating. We are all wired differently, and as a #HSP myself, I no longer suffer to prove my 'toughness'. Nurture your gifts & traits.
