3-important things to take away:
- Your mind is doing what it’s meant to do like your stomach or digestive system. It’s acting from programming and doesn’t mean anything about you, except what you make it mean.
- When you slow-down and become the observer with compassion for yourself, feelings complete themselves. Then, you don’t have to react and can choose what you want to feel next. (This is not about feeling sorry for yourself. It’s about understanding you life’s trauma and not needing to fix it but simply observe it with compassion.)
- Safety is created by slowing down, dropping into your heart and breathing deeply. The heart knows how to process what the mind tries to control. Nothing outside you needs to change.
This week, whenever you remember, practice the following:
Frequency Practice
Notice one familiar thought that feels normal but quietly pulls you away from what you want.
There’s nothing wrong with you for having it. It’s simply a frequency your system has learned.
Softly say:
“I am safe to feel what is here. I don’t have to understand it yet.”
Mirror Practice
Look into your own eyes and say:
“I am here with you. I’m not leaving.”
Allow yourself to feel these words for at least 30 seconds. There’s no need to change anything—just notice what’s present.
Then place a hand on your heart and take three slow, deep breaths, letting your body settle.
It’s best to listen while doing nothing and drop into your body. However, if you fall asleep and absolutely need to multi-task while listening, it’s okay.
There is no right or wrong with these practices. Whatever you do is enough.
