🌱🌿I was meant to be a wildflower, swaying in the wind. But I was trained to be a rose, pruned in the garden. No wonder I was so thorny! 😅🤣 All kidding aside, as we journey to discover our authentic self, it’s important to let kindness and mindfulness guide the process. Otherwise, what may look like freedom is just the wrecklessness of the ego causing harm to self and others. In the end, we are just as frustrated, lonely, and disempowered as before, even if our external circumstances have changed. 😔 Grow towards healing. 💪⭐️

Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth & freedom. -Viktor E Frankl

😨😵💫 Stress is a prevalent part of modern life. The effects of stress are many. The basic symptom of stress is restlessness. Restlessness puts us in a state of confusion and propels us to say and do things that are not beneficial. 😫🫢 To counteract the restlessness caused by stress, the first thing we need to do is to learn how to stop and to rest. 😌 Rest is also an important ingredient in boosting your health, immunity and longevity. 💪 It's a great anti-aging antidote. 😊

BLOG: Neglect, Abandonment & How Trauma Actually Happens
Fortunately, the solution is nowhere else to be found except inside of us. You see, trauma occurs not from “what happened to us.” In other words, it is not the event or events that happened. If that were the case, we would be forever victimized by it.

Happy Tuesday🌸! I would love to start the week by sharing a story that maybe you will connect with, as we all have sometimes made concessions for our loved ones, even though they weigh heavy on our hearts...
A friend called me recently. For privacy purposes, I'll use the term "they, them, etc." to refer to this friend.
They have had a deep longing in their heart for more than 20 years now. Their spouse doesn't agree with what they want to do, so they've been making the best out of the situation, finding different ways to cope with the longing.
They are very smart and resourceful, building a life of financial success, travel, and a family.
All the while, my friend continues to try and convince the spouse. They have not given up on their dream. They have been a faithful, patient partner. No one can find fault in their sacrifices.
Throughout the years, my friend will call me occasionally to talk about the yearning and ways they're coping with it. Yet, at times the longing still shows up quite strong. Once, they called me, frustrated, asking, "Phi, why am I still feeling this after all these years?"
Recently, they got the spouse to agree to a timetable towards finally realizing their dream now that the children have all grown up and moved out.
They are sensing the latest concession feels inauthentic. The spouse is wishy-washy. They feel resentment brewing from that person. They fear the spouse will expect something in return. Because the concession lacks personal integrity, it causes conflict in the experience. Here's a YouTube video sharing more about this topic.

Now if the spouse were to be transparent within, to act from their place of fullness instead of fear or lack, the experience of the action felt by both parties would be completely different, and so will the outcome. Instead, the unhealed wounds continue the entanglement.

🌸There is no trauma 😧 that you cannot heal from ❤️🩹.
Your acceptance, your willingness and a capable mentor can ease your pain as you release the traumatic imprint.
Your freedom deserves your kindness, care and consideration.
Please be gentle with yourself. #traumahealing #midlifecrisis #chronicpainawareness #griefjourney

We are on the road again. My brother's friend occupied my usual spot in the car, giving me a break from my designated task of photographer and videographer😊.
I sit with an ache in my heart 😕, aware of where the sadness comes from. I stop. I feel 😮💨….
The scarf over my hat, meant for sun protection, has provided the privacy needed for a few moments of seclusion in a car full of people, conversation, and cha-cha music from the speakers. To be in the middle of life without losing myself in the current has been a critical gift of the practice🌻.
Simply being with the sadness offers the longing a quiet, gentle presence. There's no need to seek a replacement or a wish to lay blame. The Middle Path taught by the Buddha is to not resist out of frustration or to seek out of attachment. Our freedom is the result of seeing and being with what is. In that breath of a gap, greater wisdom can emerge.
