Happy One month anniversary to me. I am not hiding doing my process. I am letting go of another group that I joined before I found my way here. I am thankful to be in this circle and to be connected. I like that we get into the marrow of things, It’s not a passive scrolling kind of participation. I am going back to my mind platter to check in my on myself to see if I went toward or away from my goals. I am changing up the connection part to enter into more internal connection to hold space for the process instead of it all being external connections. Here we go toward November.
I care for you all and glad to have a safe place to be known and process.
Acknowledging your willingness to jump right in and be such a beautiful demonstration of engaging the process. Thank you!
Thankful for your coaching, leading, directing and supporting. You have a beautiful essence, Beverly.
When I am in this circle – 2 Quotes ring true for me.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.

Happy one month Anniversary! “The process is the gift”: One of my favorite takeaways, of many, from your month here. Looking forward to many more.
Thanks Wes. I have gratitude for the circle and the process. A few years back I taught on anxiety- the rupture of connection. It was for a small bank introducing them to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. What I realize is that the simple steps of Naming, Noticing and Neutralizing were not being practiced by me. It one thing to know things intellectually but another to have a practice/process. I have been locked out of myself and to have that awareness today, is simply priceless. I am coming back home to myself again and this circle might be small but there is energy here that came to me through crying out and finding Beverly. The other funny thing was that I picked a word for the year and my adult children thought it was out there. The word is “Woke” and I can say that I am truly waking up to new and greater things which begins and ends with Love.
I’ve never used the word aloud but secretly I love the word “woke”. Definitely an apt description of your process and I’m extremely happy for you. Not to mention inspired by your awakening process as well as the others that have been shared in this circle… I’ve heard of ACT before but never explored it. I think I even have an as yet unread workbook on the subject. Knowing you endorse the therapy, I’m going to use it to work on my anxiety even though in just the last few days, I feel I’ve made tremendous strides towards resolving it. It could yet prove valuable in fully resolving it and I appreciate the guidance!
Thanks, Wes. I am enjoying that we can explore topics like anxiety in a more spacious place rather than on the thought track in my mind. I like that anxiety can be “normalized” if I am changing patterns or speaking truth or trying something new. Anxiety is part of the grief process for me. I couldn’t protest when I was little so I went into freeze. I knew there was a rupture happening around me and couldn’t find an “adult” to help stabilize me. But TODAY, I feel more resilient and keep on keeping on with change which includes anxiety.
Not crazy, kind of normal and human.
ACT has a good bus video on you tube. Asking the part-anxiety not to take the driver seat. It has been helpful for me to visually see that but I wanted to not process skip that anxiety got on my Bus, and what it wanted me to know. Both are parts of the process. 🙂 I asked ,a family member yesterday about an issue that was causing anxiety between us and it was shoved over to my side and not able to be neutralized between us. I neutralized it later by naming what my truth was for asking the question and what my heart/love intention was to helping meet a need of hers. Huge shift for me not to lose myself for days…….
Beautiful process. I feel a lot of resonance with your words here, if through my own experience. The connection between anxiety and grief is looming particularly large for me now and your sharing of your past experience with this connection is leading me to reflect on my own past experiences that may have previously gone unnoticed. Thank you. I also love your experience of not losing yourself for days. This is playing out for me as well.
Grateful you’re here! Great reminder to check-in with the goals we set!
