Life could’ve been far less scary if I were only allowed to feel my feelings.
I’m grateful for my therapist, Kristin Neff’s work on self-compassion, + Maggie Sterling’s podcast for helping me reach this point where I actually allow my feelings.
For decades, I was afraid to feel my feelings since I was told I’m too sensitive + constantly told to stop crying.
Few people in my life have encouraged crying. It is needed. 💟

Tell the #UK #government to #stop #allowing #weapons #sales to #Israel. They are #killing #civilians and #children in #Palestine #Lebanon and #other places. They are #starving and #trapping people, stopping #humanitarian #aid. They are #torturing #prisoners. And #targeting #medical #personnel #schools and #hospitals.

Baylor University has not been controlled by the Baptist church since 1990. The Board of Regents has only 1/4 members from the church, yet they've applied for *and received* permission to discriminate against LGBTQ rights while receiving federal funds!

Tennessee is seriously lax on guns -- And Why is That?
Nearly 1,400 people #die each year in Tennessee by #guns, making it the 10th highest rate in the nation.
There are few requirements for gun purchases, including **no** #background #checks or #training for handgun buyers.
The state **allows** #permitless #carry, even for #concealed #weapons, for anyone over 21, and there are **no** #red #flag #laws to keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous individuals.
Last year, Republicans moved in the **opposite direction** from gun safety, with proposed bills #lowering the handgun purchase and carry age to 18 and #allowing the most dangerous guns, including #AR-15s, to be carried in public.
This was the environment in which the #mass #school #shooting occurred, and which has driven Tennessee students to take to the streets and to #protest at the Capitol.
**Gerrymandered** to the hilt
The Tennessee state House has 99 seats, with the state broken up by maps drawn by the Republican legislative supermajority.
The maps are designed to dilute Democratic representation, both in the state and in its Congressional delegation, something that the #Voting #Rights #Act and the U.S. #Constitution **used to protect against**, before the #Supreme #Court began #gutting voting rights, beginning with its #Shelby #County decision knocking out federal preauthorization for new maps.
The House district maps in Tennessee are a blatant and unapologetic #gerrymander.

Let go of disappointment when things don't go as planned. The result could be far better than imagined if life's magic has room to work. Stay open.

Nature is full of leaky pipes and little universes. Those are the niches of creation where life thrives.

From a post reply I wrote about visualization:
It’s not a magic bullet train; you asked specifically about “holding onto a visualization” - it’s almost the opposite you want to do, in that you want to have it, then let it go…
Here are a few things I have found that work well for me. It’s all about working with the underlying subtle energy of the thoughts and feelings that relate to what you’re wanting to focus on. I am not delving into those specifics here, just sharing some of the tools I’ve found to be helpful in playing with this pool of opportunity in visualization.
You can take or leave what works for you of these processes and you will encounter more that you can add to the list:
#Clear your mind through daily meditation. Earlier in the day before interacting with other people is better. Keeping at it for a month or more is essential. I have not missed a day in almost nine years and it has made a huge difference in my life. It is a daily reattunement. DAILY. There are many ways to meditate; I would stick with one way for at least a month before you try another. Some might say longer. The reason for clearing your mind (other than that it feels awesome) is that it makes you much more receptive to intuitive impulses that relate to the visualization/manifestation trajectory.
#Look for small, incremental changes in the direction you want to go. Make note of when they occur; noticing builds momentum, in my experience. Jot down what builds on what, make connections, and let yourself go with the flow of the little changes, no matter how small or tangential to your goals. Baby steps build out the visualization (even if you can’t see exactly how, in the moment).
#Make more small decisions to build momentum in your day! That’s a big one for me and I always tell that to my team members at work, too. Can be tangential to your goals; building something in a positive direction is good - the idea is to get the energy moving in a wanted direction. Does not have to be about the visualization. Just about feeling faster forward momentum generally.
#Find the feeling of what you’re going for, not just the “thing” you’re going for. Look for evidence of that feeling throughout your day. Feeling first. You’re already on a good path with writing down your goals so keep doing that… just focus on WHY you want what you want, find the feeling place of what you want wherever it occurs in your life, even if tangential to your main, visualized goals.
#Collage it! If you are a visual person, you can “codify” these thoughts, feelings and processes with a collage. Then let it go, put it away, forget about it, and move on with the rest of your small, incremental decisions that build energy generally in your life. LET THE VISUALIZATION GO and then CHILL OUT! (Do I sound like I am yelling? It’s because this part is important!)…
#Flow! Find your flow and enjoy the ride! Allow yourself to find a playful place in it all. It’s not all about the final destination.
Overall:
#Meditate. Ask yourself why you want what you want. Feelings first. Allow yourself to go with the flow. Have fun! And expect serendipity; more and more opportunities will open up.
And if you are interested to read more about these creative visualization processes, I recommend the work of #ShaktiGawain, #EstherHicks, and #NathalieGoldberg. Of course, there are many, many more. These are just a few of my favourites/favorites (Canadian/American here). :-)
Thank you for asking. 🙏

I’ve been thinking about kindness, along with what is actionable, and also consent and resilience. All together. Actionable kindness + Consent = Resilience. I’m writing about this too, in my novels. When I put it all together with the definitions in the images I realize: this is the basis of a caring relationship, a caring society, and a caring world. The basis of this caring is allowing it. Sharing again here after replying with this in part, earlier, just because. #action #kindness #consent #resilience #caring #allowing
