Hello All π It's been a while and I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your journey. I've been very committed and dedicated to doing the work on thoughts and am grateful to say that I'm growing up nicely. π I'm busy with Shame, Guilt, Envy and Jealousy thoughts that lead to really uncomfortable and painful emotions. I'm also learning that there is no use for shame and guilt as these are self-punishment beliefs and serve absolutely no purpose whatsoever! I'm now asking myself question (directed towards guilt) if the rule I'm applying to myself that keeps me stuck in guilt serves me at all (which it never does) and then working it out of my system. With shame, I'm taking a look at the expectations (standards of condemnation) that I'm holding myself to and release that yukky heavy swamp feeling with gratitude, I must say. I'm feeling a lot clearer than I was a few months ago even a few weeks ago as my sanity is on the rise. I'm using The Work by Byron Katie as well as Shadows before Dawn by Teal Swan and they go beautifully together and I'm super grateful for these tools.
I'm also spending time on the weekends with children and some adults as I now teach swimming and let me tell you, it's playful and enjoyable and it's awesome to not have to sit in an office to earn money. Life is definitely turning around for me and I'm looking at saving so that I can move out of my folks place sometime this year.
Love to you All and I wish you only the best from life as well as complete clarity and sanity. πβ€οΈπβ€οΈπ
