Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality.
💫 When we stop taking things personally, we free ourselves from the opinions and actions of others. We can maintain our sense of inner peace and self-worth, regardless of what anyone else says or does. 💪
🙌 This doesn't mean that we should ignore feedback or constructive criticism, or that we shouldn't take responsibility for our own actions. It simply means that we should not allow the opinions and actions of others to control our emotions or sense of self.
By not taking things personally, we can experience a greater sense of freedom and inner peace, and live our lives according to our own values and beliefs. 💖

I love this so much.

Stephen Porges, reknown trauma psychologist, says safety IS the treatment. Safety is: Empathic understanding. Attunement. Agendaless presence. Co-Regulation. Predictability. Play (a child’s natural language). These are at the foundation of the unfolding of healing. ❤️‍🩹

✨INSIDE EVERYTHING✨

Keep trying to hide and in time
you become a wall.
Keep trying to love and in time
you become love.
Our journey on Earth is to stop
hiding, so we can become love.
Everything else is a seduction
and a distraction.
Courage is staying true.

The humbling mystery inherent in all attempts at writing is that the words are like the dirt you dig out of a hole. There’s so much of it piled all around you as you stand there, sweating from all that digging. Yet all that matters is the opening that is left, which keeps drawing you further in.
And from that depth, I can say that if there is an undertaking at the center of my work, it is to devote yourself to gathering the self-knowledge of how your heart works. In the belief that through this ongoing practice, your heart will become your teacher. In the belief that if we stay connected to our heart, it will guide us to the center of all storms and connect us to the Living Universe. Our job, then, is to stay authentic, open, and vulnerable. These commitments to honest living will make a conduit of the heart, so it can naturally infuse us with the resources of life.
