I've been healing and feeling
Shattered and scattered
Peacing the pieces
To keep me from reeling.
'Day by day'
Is all I can say,
Play and pray
To keep darkness at bay.

I had a real breakthru moment in therapy today that I feel called to share rn, but I'm going to make a YouTube vid going way deeper into this- stay tooned🙃

So I realized that when I find an approach that works for me, I tend to apply it to everything and expect the same positive result.
Specifically, I've had success in the "fake it til you make it" approach.
It has helped me with seeing light while deep in depression, with social networking, self-promotion, etc.
But when this is applied to everything, it can become the root of denial.
I've been confused with knowing when exactly I should be 'faking it' in order to make it and when I should allow myself to be down... and this is when my angel of a therapist blew my mind open-
She said that I must ask myself, "do my emotions fit the facts of my situation?"
If the answer is yes- then faking I'm okay qualifies as denial which will lead to suffering. (suffering = pain of existence + denial of reality)
If the answer is no- then faking I'm okay may help improve mental attitude.

Examples:
•If I'm feeling down and depressed, like crying all the time because of a recent death in my family, chronic health scares, and big changes in my personal life... then it is normal and necessary for me to feel all those sad feelings, and crying about it will allow the feelings to move thru me at the pace they're meant to.
•If I'm down and depressed, crying because I ran out of eggs and I don't feel like walking to the store.... then I will benefit from pretending I feel okay so that I can walk to the store and get more eggs.

Such a simple concept that, for whatever reason, has been escaping me!
'Fake it til you make it' applies when feelings don't fit the facts🤯
So the first step has to be looking at the facts, accepting reality for what it is (which is not the same thing as liking reality!)
Not accepting reality makes life so much more difficult because of allll the energy thats used to deny facts.

I'm letting this soak into me and ill share more on YouTube, but I hope it was helpful for you too!!🙏🏼💗

USA has shown its colors
& they're ugly af.

Unexpected and overdue
Divisive and unifying
Numbing and stimulating.
Paradoxes everywhere.

Here's a reminder to myself & to you that things are never only one-way.
It’s easy to take things as they appear-
something bad happens,
“That’s it. It was bad and only bad.”-
And during times like now,
that's an even easier stance to take.

But being stuck in a world of extremes is not a happy place to be.
It feels like “me against the world”
everyone on teams & I have to pick one or else I’m not playing the game right.
I think this feeling is a trick-
when we take the time to see another side’s perspective,
we create space for patience & understanding.

We must honor our first reactions-
be upset when something upsetting happens-
but we cannot stop there.

There are always positives to take from pain,
no matter how long they take to be presented.
It could be many trying years before we see silverlinings,
but holding trust that something positive will come can make that time more bearable.

All we can control is our reactions:
we can fight against it / ignore it,
or we can look it dead in the face
walk toward it bravely- which is not an easy task.

It may require you to fake it for some time while you gain courage.
It will require you to shed a lot of tears,
talk / journal a ton,
be brutally honest with urself,
accept that you may not have all the pieces to see a situation clearly,
or u may just be wrong all together.

It takes a brave heart to not look away from ugly truths-
time, patience, & compassion.

I’m not claiming I know exactly how or always do any of this,
but I try my damn hardest to do this and when I do, it feels like the right way to be.

My heart feels heavy, it feels natural to numb out & look away,
but I'm challenging myself to take that as a cue to look inward instead.
Keep the hope that, in the end, peace will prevail.
This week has been another reminder that we need eachother, now & forever.
