Have you ever had someone change your entire perspective with just 1 word? I have.
Let me tell you a story.
I’ll never forget my very first meeting with my therapist, Angie, over 6+ ago. I was giving her the background of my life, crying about being broken.
I asked her, “Why do I keep getting into these terrible relationships? Is it my fault?”
Angie’s answer? “Probably.”
OUCH. Talk about a blow to the ego. But it turns out she was exactly right.
Before this moment, I always received sympathy from others when I got into this victim mindset.
What Angie did for me that day was give me the power to change my situation.
With her guidance over the next couple years, I was able to bring up the old wounds, relationship patterns, and learned behaviors. She helped me heal my heart and create better behaviors.
Through it, I developed a new version of me. Enough so that I found an amazing partner that has none of the qualities of my past relationships.
As much as I loved my sessions with Angie (even though they were hard sometimes), I can’t give her all the credit.
Sure, she guided me to healing. But I was open to it and actively participated in the process.
Plus, on my own time, I began reaching for other tools and healing modalities to do the work in daily life.
During the Journey Back to Joy program, we heal through the hard stuff with emotion release methods.
Healing is a Habit
What started as a scary journey became a self-discovery habit. Now I crave it. Because I know that bringing up the past is healing and gets me to the best versionof myself.
This is what I love about the ladies who do Reiki sessions and work with me one-on-one.
They have the capacity to take the bull by the horns and figure out how to make their lives what they want. They’re not afraid to look at the old stuff and heal it. And when something isn’t working, they figure out an alternative method, like working with me, to tackle it.
We get to the heart of why you have feelings of hurt, pain, and lack of connection during the Reclamation program.
How are you fixing it?
Now we get to the end of the story where I turn it back on you.
Lately, have you found yourself:
- …wishing for new friends?
- …feeling desperate to find more meaning in life?
- …desiring to have better boundaries?
- …seeking excitement and happiness?
If so, I’ll ask you, what are you doing to change it?
Finding your purpose can be a daunting task, but these ladies were up to the challenge on Saturday at the Find Your Purpose workshop.
It’s up to you
As hard as it is, it really is up to you to create a better life for yourself. Yes, you can stay in the self-pity and desiring something better, but where does that really get you?
Speaking from experience, it doesn’t get you far. That’s why I was caught in that cycle of bad relationships, bad friendships (yup, I even had emotionally abusive friends), and self-loathing.
It wasn’t until I took responsibility for my healing, by finding help and discovering my own tools, that things really started to change. The right friends, right relationship, love for myself, and feeling of purpose showed up.
If you are serious about calling in the friends, happiness, and best version of yourself, you’ll want to find a guide for your journey.
The great thing about a guide is that we can see some of the things that are causing the problems and lovingly lead you to face them. However, to truly move forward, it’s your job to use this information, look inward, and deal with the obstacles as they arise.
You can do it! I believe in you.
When you’re ready for a better life, book a free discovery call to learn how we could work together.
Whatever choice you make, I hope you won’t let your past keep you from having the life you want.
