I have choices. That's the key for me. I realized that consciously about 3 years ago when I found myself repeating a pattern of behavior and seeing it very clearly for the first time. I'd been doing the same thing for 50 years. And I thought, "oh fuck no, not again..."
I changed my life, making conscious choices and I Iike where I am. In essence, I gave myself permission to be awake and aware. I've never looked back. 🤗
Morgan, that's great self awareness on your part! These patterns are so easy to miss. Celebrating that this was such a clear turning point for you! So glad to have you here.
It all took a lot of shadow work. On-going still. I have to keep reminding myself of my choices and to live with them responsibly. I'm so much happier!
I read this earlier today, and a few hours later I’m still thinking about it. Mostly because this is my MAIN issue as a person. 👺 Thanks, Sarah. This is oddly serendipitous and helpful. (I’m def mulling over joining this lovely community your organising too!)
Uthara, thank you for being vulnerable and sharing this with me. It's great feedback knowing that the message is staying with you. You're certainly not alone in this either -- for so many of us women, the power has been something we've had to find outside of us. This can be a loving reminder that it lives inside of you. Would love to include your energy in this container if you feel called! I know that it can feel like a bit of an energetic stretch to show up in a container with strangers. Maybe a helpful reframe: these other women and I will be your allies. <3 If you have any questions, please reach out.
