Jasmine, you’re right about the labels. I deeply appreciate your words of wisdom. I’m printing out what you wrote to help me work on having compassion for myself during tough times.
The Ruminant. I know that feeling you described when letting go. It is the freest feeling in the world. I often wonder why I don’t put myself into that space more often since it feels so nice and everything just falls into place. It’s great that you are able to get into that space when you’re stressed. I fall pretty hard when I’m stressed and usually can’t pick myself up very easily. It would be great to get to the place where letting go can be my savior. For that to happen, I feel like I’d need a personal coach with my at all times, telling me to let go. I’m so fortunate to have you all here to help and be that coach to help me out. What a gift — thank you!
Giovanni, what you described is how I would describe my situation and the other who I’m suffering over. I see both of our sufferings and know that we both may have had issues with self-worth in the past (and present). My greatest hope and goal in life is to do the work needed to overcome my negative self-worth so that I can be infinitely loving and supportive to others. I really really wish for that. Secondarily, it would be nice to live with more happiness and contentment with what I have.
This all takes lots of work and effort and I want to commit to it. It’s going to be a tough full-time job, but I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have such supportive souls as you all are helping me with this. You are all so much appreciated! Thank you!
