Keep Priorities as Boundaries Intentionally Sacred

Image
Think back to last time you felt resentful, annoyed at someone, or felt that someone was trying to take advantage of you, and you probably experienced someone crossing one of your boundaries. Our boundaries are really important. They’re a core part of putting limits on how we interact with others, what is and isn’t acceptable in a given situation, what we will and won’t stand for. Some boundaries are flexible and some are set in stone, with the most effective ones falling somewhere in the middle.  Once we are clear about what’s most important to us – our life vision, purposeful work, relationships or well being practices as examples – then we can determine where we need to set our boundaries, and how we will go about holding those lines. Boundaries can be emotional, psychological, energetic and physical.  People placing demands on your time, energy or emotional labour can all cause you to lose track of what you really want or need to get done, and get sucked into t...

Comfort and Convenience? Familiar Bonds or Authentic Relationships? Superficial Surface or Emotional Depth? Dr. Nicole LePera ~ Clinical Psychologist at The Holistic Psychologist

Image
Via Dr Nicole LePera  Phd  Relationships in Boredom "My entire life I always had this feeling that confused me within my family. I heard over and over again that we were a close family. And we were—in physical proximity. Always around each other. Always sharing space, always calling to check in. But I always felt like I was around familiar strangers. I always felt alone. I never fully felt seen. It was a loneliness I’d known since childhood. We had a bond, but we didn’t have emotional depth.  We didn’t communicate about our experiences.  Our connection usually came through shared states of crisis, chaos, or shared worry.  Or, through teasing each other.  A way that many people who have issues connecting emotionally attempt connection. I remember one day my sister said “you never tell us anything” and I blamed myself.  She was right. I didn’t share much of myself. The emotional climate just didn’t have that space.  ...

Addicted to Stress? Patterns of Pricey Productivity To Service Debt? AKA "The Capitalist Cult Of Busy" Lead By The Captain of Kaos. Instead Be Max Well. Be Smart. Be 86 or 99 and Call Out The Chaos, Hey Chief...? Ewe No It Makes Cents....

View this post on Instagram Emotional addiction begins when we are raised in environments that cause an activated nervous system response. Stress, chaos, + emotional abandonment (they tend to come as a package) cause neurotransmitters to be released + create hormonal responses within the body. The body + mind learn these emotional states. We have something called the homeostatic impulse that keeps us thinking + repeating familiar behavior of our past. To repeat these emotional states. This makes us feel stuck. Powerless to change. All of this is a subconscious process. The trauma of experiencing chronic levels of these emotions makes us unable to feel other emotional states. This is why we (unconsciously) seek out the stress + chaos. We can finally FEEL. When we experience trauma there’s a dull, numb existence. Until we are in the familiar, then we become activated. We feel again. Feeling anything, even if it’s negative, is better tha...

Danger Under Control, An Ancient Martial Art of Warrior Prose.

Thank you Gillian Pothier.  "ohhhh....because when men are well-behaved, neutered puppies, they are just SO much easier to control and manipulate. ⚔️ 🐶 ⚔️ So we do all kinds of wounded/devouring Feminine moves, both *within* our own Psyche / System / Sex (the Grand Trifecta of where our trauma narrative dwells....and *rots* if not mobilized and liberated) and *externally*, most notably in the form of colluding with the collective Feminine shadow (internalized victim consciousness) that gets off on asserti ng its moral rightness and gendered superiority by shaming this vital, *life-affirming* dimension of Masculine NATURE. It takes a radically integrated women to know how to fire dance with the Warrior.... and who she will become by loving a man  👏🏼 she 👏🏼 cannot 👏🏼  control 👏🏼  is BEYOND HER OWN wildest dreams.  🖤 🔥 Thank you for your epic diamond transmissions,  Lesley .  ⚡️ 💎 ⚡️

View this post on Instagram It’s common to hear people get concerned about the pool of people from which to choose when they start to raise their standards, set boundaries, and operate from a much healthier and more aligned place. The pool *does* shift, and that can be deeply confronting. When we get clear on our boundaries, what’s acceptable and what isn’t, what creates expansion for us vs what doesn’t, we begin to honor authentic love and connection over that which distracts us from our insecurities. One of my favorite quotes from Warsan Shire reads “my alone feels so good, I’ll only have you if you’re sweeter than my solitude.” How’s your relationship with solitude? Get intimate with it, friends. When you enjoying being with yourself, then you can trust that those who enter are there to expand instead of distract. What it could look like? You won’t let just anybody occupy your space and time. You won’t go on that date just to go on...

"Eddington, unlike some of his compatriots, had no urge to denigrate Einstein’s accomplishments, although he was a citizen of a country so recently a bitter enemy — Einstein, born in Germany, and Eddington, in England. Out of the shadow of the War into the shadow of the Moon, they were citizens of the same Earth and relativity was heralded as one of humanity’s greatest achievements."
