I had to smile when you were talking about *stop reflecting*. I do this too! If I just dig deep and understand why I feel this way and what I’m supposed to learn from it, then…I did it! Earlier today I felt sad and this lingering pit of heaviness in my stomach (I’m dealing with grief at the moment). I thought to myself, I’m going to meditate. As I’m meditating the idea pops in my head, maybe I’ll do a 🍄 trip this evening. I waffle back and forth about it. Eventually, my bf comes home and gives me a hug that I needed and I started to cry. Then I realized, “Oh, I didn’t need to trip. I just needed to cry.” You’re right. Sometimes you just need to feel your feelings and not try to dive deep into your mind/understanding.
Yeah, exactly! I tend to be so in my head that I forget about how healing movement instead of meditation can be, or anything that relates to the physical body.
I just had a criticism-ridden relationship as well and it’s been over a year and I’m still mending my self esteem. Relationships have SUCH a powerful impact on us
Yeah, it's easy to underestimate even if we think of ourselves as very self-aware 🥲 I hope it gets better quickly and you can heal through whatever means necessary! Being in a better, loving relationship helped reveal and heal those wounds much faster than if I had been by myself.
