If you want your life to change, it's up to you.
Let me show you how I got to the other side of trauma.

We can never know what's truly possible if we stay

We can never know what's truly possible if we stay where we are?
The brain is a record of the past. And it will remind you all the reasons not to try something different.
Uncomfortable feeling will flood your body making it even harder to resist.
The trick is to be aware when it feels uncomfortable, allow it to rise consciously acknowledge its presence and take steps forward towards something different.
This crucial step forwards lays a new neural pathway and actually weakens the existing neural pathway.
The hardest step is the first one.
If you want something different we must try.

If we keep our focus on everything that's been done to us, we miss so many opportunities to move forward.
The event cannot be changed and some peoples attitudes went change but we have many options that we can take to move on physically and mentally.

Everything you see is a reflection of your beliefs

Everything you see is a reflection of your beliefs.

Beliefs are formed from childhood and repeated experiences.
Beliefs are like software programmed in the brain.
Which means you can change the software.
If you want to see the world differently, address the beliefs that underpin everything.
Replace an outdated belief with one you'd prefer.
Intentionally and purposefully decide to install and live by that belief and see what happens.
Don't expect your brain to love this, or even accept it.
It will take time to scrub the old belief away.
The more you install new software the more you will see things change.

Learn to acknowledge and deal with the primary emo

Learn to acknowledge and deal with the primary emotions.
Find a safe and supportive person to talk to.
Or write it down.
I am hurt ......
I am afraid .....
When we look deeper and sit in that space we discover what is at the heart of our pain. It is there we can work through it, heal it and hopefully come to a place of acceptance. This can be a slow process and it takes a long as it takes.
I find a useful approach is to notice when I'm feeling angry and pause. I then ask myself, what do I find hurtful about this situation?
Be still and listen for what arises.
Allow it to come to the surface.
Acknowledge it without judgement.
There so much to learn about our pain and our experiences if we can learn to listen to ourselves.

Learn to savour the day. Appreciate where you are

Learn to savour the day.
Appreciate where you are. Even if it's not where you ideally want to be. It's still significant.
Go outside your mind and see what's around you.

I use to hate hearing this so much. Yeah right,

I use to hate hearing this so much.
Yeah right, the present. Pft!, What a load of garbage. What about my pain, my suffering, my distance from my parents. What about the fact that I felt so damn lost in my life? How can it help to live in the present when my troubles follow me everywhere?

But not only is it true that the present IS all we have, but when we truly learn this, we learn that we cannot live in the present while we hold onto our past. Our past hurts, pain, trauma. It's almost impossible to enjoy life fully in the moment while our mind and body are in the past.

It's a practice for sure. It's not a 30 day club or some quick cure all.
It take training, daily intention to recognise every time our brain wanders to back to the comfort of yesterday.
But if you commit to it, more and more you find beauty in the present that you never noticed. And they don't have to be the big things. You appreciate more, you value life and not possessions
Gratitude just becomes a part of you that no material stuff can ever give you the same buzz.

It is truly freeing and whilst I'm still rusty at times, while I still catch myself getting caught in stuff that doesn't matter, I have never felt more free. Truly.
