I want to take a look at a common pattern but from a different perspective.

Fighting for your stories.

You know the ones.

The negative, terrible, everything is against you type of stories.

The ones that we all tell sometimes, because they just seem SO TRUE and based on facts. 

You know, our brains actually have a mechanism that will seek to prove us right, whether good or bad.

And the truth is, you are right about whatever you believe.

To you it is absolutely true.

But, do you want to keep experiencing negative or scary stories and create more to match that? 

You might say of course you want to think more positively.

But what I have found is that you may not actually want to change it.

Because you’re looking for someone to witness your pain and suffering.

To tell you that you’re justified in feeling how you do, that of course you were wronged.

Or, to allow another human to witness your story and confirm that your feelings matter.

Which they absolutely do matter!

Have you ever had one of those days where you just felt weird?

Not necessarily bad, but definitely not good either.

Sounds fun, but can be exhausting!

My own energy, past experiences coming up to release and pre-processing some clearings coming up in the next few days.

If you’ve done any sort of energy work, bodywork, could even be surgeries etc. you may have experienced pre -processing.

The way I would describe it is like feeling spacey and slightly agitated, but nothing in particular has happened to cause it.

You’ve had enough food, rest, and everything is pretty relaxed but there’s a low level of uneasiness in your awareness.

Noticing time passing by faster, or slower, crying o...

When was the last time you felt angry?

Did you express it by blowing up and yelling, stuffing it down, or maybe you chose to take a deep breath and release it?

Those are just a few of the most common ways people usually deal with anger and any other uncomfortable emotion.

I’ll share some of my favorite ways to process anger further down.

I find that anger gets a bad rap, especially if it's expressed.

As a girl it was mostly encouraged for me to be soft, quiet and agreeable, no matter what.

That wasn’t gonna work for me LOL!

I’ve always been really good at expressing my feelings, even if they are very intense.

And I did get judged, criticized, and people sometimes had no idea what to think of me.

Have you experienced that too?

If so, be kind to yourself.

We live in a world that mostly encourages suppressing and full blown avoidance of many feelings. 

Yes, there were times I exploded, probably not the best thing.

But I realized those explosions of anger happened w...
