HEALING PAST TRAUMAS

Nobody really talks about this but, once you start healing past traumas and your body comes out of “fight or flight” mode your body will crave a lot of rest and silence.  Your body finally starts to feel safe in the peace and quiet.  The calm.  You aren’t lazy.  Your body is just catching up on all the years it didn’t have this stillness.  You. Deserve. This.

REFLECTION:

  • Are you craving more rest and silence?
  • Have past traumas left you in fight or flight mode?
  • Is it time to give your body time to experience peace and quiet.. calmness?
  • Give yourself permission to be still.  YOU. DESERVE. THIS!

AVOID or WILLING TO ENGAGE

When you avoid a hard conversation, you’re taking on a debt that has to be repaid (with interest) at a date in the future. 

Time doesn’t heal anything when it comes to relationships.  Make the minor repairs along the way and you’ll avoid the major repairs later on.

You success in life is proportional to the number of hard conversations you’re willing to have.

Quote by Sahil Bloom

REFLECTION:

  • Are you willing to have “hard conversations?”
  • Have you avoided a much needed conversation?  Have you found the avoidance will require major repairs?
  • Is there a relationship… a “hard conversation” you need to have with someone?
  • What minor repairs can you offer today with a conversation?

BE A BEGINNER

It is impossible to get better and look good at the same time.  Give yourself permission to be a beginner.

Quote by Julia Cameron, The Artist’s Way

REFLECTION:

  • Do you give yourself permission to be a beginner?
  • Are you willing to risk… try new things and not look good?
  • Can you give yourself permission to be a beginner and try something new?
