If you’re like me, there may have been a time when emotions felt like unruly house guests who wouldn’t leave—overstaying their welcome, wreaking havoc, and making everything harder than it needed to be.
They definitely come from our thoughts and beliefs, which most of the time we learned or taught.
I woke up in this body at nine years old. I don't remember anything before tried all kinds of things and therapies to remember, but it won't let me. All I knew as I was ticked off and I didn't wanna be here from age 9 to 27. Well, let's just say I was rebellious to say the least, and then it up with many addictions.
I didn't want to feel the pain and there was nothing to remember since I didn't remember. Once I got clean and sober at age 27 after almost dying several times I felt everything.. and I mean everything!
The first year was great. The world went from black-and-white to color the second year. I realized why I wanted to numb. I thought this world is crazy and I didn't wanna be here.
Fast-forward, I became a registered nurse and did holistic practices for almost 30 years now and have had tremendous healing.
I have learned that when things come up from out of nowhere, it seems, if I sit with it and let it pass through everything's fine. But to try to keep it from coming up or feeling it takes so much energy is exhausting- plus it's not healthy.
I've had several acupuncturist. Tell me when the thoughts come, it is up to me to decide whether I want to either believe it, or hold onto it or let it pass by like a cloud in the sky.
It's much easier this way and it saves a ton of energy.
Lynn, just found you on Substack and glad I did. Read a couple articles and enjoyed them.
