    Yes, lean into the discomfort and know that you can change how you relate to yourself. That’s the actually healing that we are working on. The running, scrapping and escaping is just your systems way of wanting to relieve the discomfort. However you don’t have to do it that way anymore. You can change how you relate to the issue and yourself.…[Read more]

  • We have a call today at 4pm EST. Join URL: https://zoom.us/j/577120726

    • I am going to try to be on the call. Is there a post that I am missing for the months lineup. I looked through the thread and thought we were identifying patterns or something to that effect. I also could be losing my mind or memory! Just being curious about the topic for the month of February.

    I’m curious where were you triggered? Your mind, your body, the younger you, somewhere else? I would love for you to start noticing any body sensations so that you can start de-identifying from them and not make yourself wrong for old stuff coming up and through. It’s great you can even acknowledge the trigger and explore where it’s happening for…[Read more]

    • Yes, it was definitely my younger self. I’m starting to feel those sobs coming up just thinking about it now. My parents have always had a volatile, violent relationship and they would each degrade each other when each was alone with me, trying to put me against each one and I was always always always so scared that Mom was going to kill h…[Read more]

    You are welcome. I like knowing that the New Moon means a new cycle of creation is happening. It’s nice to know we don’t have to get everything in to a cycle, that we have an opportunity to keep doing the work on the next cycle. It takes away the linear thinking and gives me an image that we keep returning to things and up-level them. I like…[Read more]

    • So true, I love that circular perspective instead of linear in terms of growth. It also helps me remember I’m not striving to get to an end point.

  • Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 6 years, 2 months ago

    I really like this idea of doing something each day to take care of yourself. I like keeping it general so you don’t beat yourself up if you can’t go for a walk for some reason. Walking can be your main way of taking good care of you. Thank you for noticing overwhelm. That’s the mechanism that needs to be loved, appreciated, healed and upgraded.…[Read more]

    • Thank you for the support. When I was writing this and reading it after I wanted to scrap the whole thing because I felt so uncomfortable and agitated and scattered. You’re right, it’s how I’m relating to it, with overwhelm and distrust in myself because I don’t believe I will do any of it.

      • Yes, lean into the discomfort and know that you can change how you relate to yourself. That’s the actually healing that we are working on.

  • New Moon happening tomorrow. Here’s an article for those who are interested. https://www.womenshealthmag.com/life/a26077602/new-moon-in-aquarius-february-2019/

    Agreed, it’s great that you are feeling your feelings about this. I know for my process, I call out the behavior to my mom in a loving way (if I need to). It’s tough being around people who haven’t done the work on themselves. I find it best to pick my battles so to speak. That’s not really the right term because I don’t view it as a battle. I…[Read more]

    • Thanks, Bev. I think I did a good job of not being defensive or justifying past behavior. It was a guilt trip for things that happened several years ago. I just calmly stated that I don’t do that anymore and I feel like I’m a good daughter. It has definitely triggered me, though, which I’m finding frustrating, but I am dealing with it. I thi…[Read more]

  • Can you receive that you ARE loved and supported by God, the Universe or a group of people?

  • Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 6 years, 3 months ago

    Wonderful! I will make note. And you are so right that they are all intertwined.

  • Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 6 years, 3 months ago

    Beautiful share Wes! Your intentions are paying off and sounds like you are allowing and receiving so much goodness. Happy for you dear. And know that part of the process is having ups and downs to it. Moods go up and down. Our choices go up and down. Our connection goes up and down. It’s all part of the process. Glad you are allowing all of it…[Read more]

  • Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 6 years, 3 months ago

    What specifically are you curious about?

    • I have been thinking about my intentions, specially where I am at and where I am headed. With that, I know I am dis-identifying with old patterns, that have kept me stuck. A kind of welcoming to see how I operated that brought results that I no longer desire. This awareness is helping me to see the patterns that were learned so they can be…[Read more]

    You are welcome!

  • Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 6 years, 3 months ago

    It’s okay to notice that. Always here when you need it.

  • Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 6 years, 3 months ago

    It was fantastic to see that expression and all the people who come out to be in community.

  • I would love for each of you to pick one of the topics you came up with so that I can focus on it for one of our calls. Pick one that you feel you need the most support with. Share below…

    • Mindset would be my selection. Thanks for asking.

    • I like how my progress in one of my areas of intention ties into or leads to progress in other areas almost organically so with that in mind I’m not attached to any one in particular but one of mine that stands out to me is consciously connecting with purpose or intention. This opens me up to deeper self acceptance and deeper relationship with my…[Read more]

    • Mine would be around breaking old patterns in relationships, specifically where you put someone else’s needs before your own to keep the peace and avoid feeling guilt or fighting or disappointing someone…romantic relationship, parent, coworkers etc.

  • Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 6 years, 3 months ago

    Acknowledging you for checking in even when you feel behind. Remember…these calls are here when you need them. So keep showing up regardless. I have no expectations that you are listening to every call. Do what you can when you can! I so appreciated this call as well. It can be hard to be vulnerable but it’s how we grow. We grow through our…[Read more]

    • Thank you. This group is such an integral part of my recovery and I appreciate you all so much. I don’t know why I run away from things that support me instead of toward them when I need them the most. I suppose that’s reflected by what’s in my list, healthy coping and connection.

  • Bev Sartain posted a new activity comment 6 years, 3 months ago

    I know you are up for it! See what comes through for you.

    • 1. Mental Health – Intention is to book an appointment with a psychiatrist to explore the possibility of medication if necessary

      2. Physical Health – Intention is to find a new eating plan to try for 30 days, possibly a no sugar plan. I’m looking to kick my sugar cravings.

      3. Mending my family relationships, specifically with my brother -…[Read more]

    I love how your process has been so expressive. Mine has been so mental that I love hearing how you have embraced spirituality and outer expression. So beautiful!
