Well, I really feel they were a gift. I don’t feel they are nasty guys. Just existing in ways that at times, don’t resonate well for me and how I want to live. They left tonight and I wished them well and I meant it. We are all on this journey, learning from one another and I grew from the experience and am still growing from it. I am honestly grateful to them. It was hard and triggered me for sure. But not every moment. Bless their chocolate eating hearts.
Oh thank you! Well all this is a process for sure and learning things is generally messy. Otherwise we would already have it down. The people you write of sound avoidant…or shut down…which is a strategy. So many coping mechanisms. We need them when we are young and it is good to see them. I noticed today as I explored healthy anger more that I get tension in my jaw when I am angry and I feel it when I am blaming myself or someone else. But if I feel angry and use it to simply notice what I need and take action, my jaw doesn’t react. I wrote a new affirmation to practice feeling: “Healthy anger flows through me like a pillar and provides clarity for me to make choices and decisions.” I just added that to my affirmations today so I am still test driving it 😉🙏❤️.
What an interesting post and unfortuante series of events, good that you were able to grow and learn from the situation from those nasty guys.

What a wonderful way to hold it! Way to show the world how to love more. XO
Terra, I love you.
Ahhh Alicia. My friend. Thank you.
You sound very aware and proactive. And yes, we all are working on our own versions of things in our own way. Kind of like being part of a forest.
