Sometimes we are sitting with ourselves, but how we are sitting with ourselves is why we can't heal.
You can't want to heal and punish yourself at the same time.
To repeat the words that other people have spoken over you that were negative, that
Having it replay in your mind over and over again while you sit with yourself will never bring you to a place of healing.
Sitting with yourself with the pursuit of compassion, with the pursuit of love and acceptance, that is when we start sitting with ourself and experience some discomfort and some anxiety.
you know, dysregulation because sitting with myself and trying to be compassionate requires me to stretch, to love myself in a way that I don't think is possible.
And as long as you don't think it's possible to sit with yourself and love yourself, every facet of who you are, it doesn't matter who you love.
It doesn't matter what you achieve until you can really sit with yourself.
None of those things are going to make you feel better either.
But it is the greatest, absolute greatest gift that you can give yourself to allow love to flood the place where you once felt in emptiness.
And we don't do ourselves any favors by committing...
to punishing ourselves over and over again for what we did, for what we allowed to happen.
This is what we say, though.
We say to ourselves, I'm going to keep this from happening again by constantly living with it right in front of me.
And if I can live with it right in front of me, if I can beat myself up, if I can punish myself, then I will keep this from happening again.
I will prepare myself for further rejection from other people if I constantly remember how unworthy I am, how little value I possess.
And so in many ways, we think this is me protecting myself by constantly keeping it in front of my face.
But if we're honest,
We do long for an existence where we want to believe that I am not just this one moment, but we will never be more than that one moment if we constantly replay that moment in our head.
And so to invite into our atmosphere
