Did you know that wounds create filters?
In a sense, our wounds become part of how we learn about the world. What should we consider safe? What is not so safe?
We navigate while holding onto the learnings we got when we got the wound. And those learnings become melded into what we consider our "normal".
This is part of why two people can "see" the same situation in entirely different ways.
It's good to be aware of this concept. It helps with compassion, and mindfulness.
Go out and do your best. πŸ’œπŸ™

The path is always inwards.
People and situations are mirrors for us to see what we need to work on.
Matthew 7:3-5. "And why beholdest the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but not consider the beam that is in thine eye?"
Yes I was raised Catholic and then converted to born again Christian in my teen years. I am not longer religious at all, only spiritual. Someday, if there is interest I might tell why.
But I still remember. Jesus was also saying in a way that the people of the time could understand, that you need to look to yourself first. Look within. What is bugging you about someone else, is usually because it matches something you need to fix within yourself.
Buddhism is not a religion. It is a philosophy. The Dalai Lama said that learning about Buddhism can support a person a becoming a better Christian. It does not replace a religion. It merely supports it.

Actually, of course it's ok to giggle at the wobbly bird timer.
We all learn how to do new things. And the first few tries are most likely, not the best.
But in this world of internet, no-one ever shows that.
All we see is what looks like glossy perfection.
The internet is not really glossy perfection.
And neither are we.
One step at a time, we move forward and learn new wisdoms, better ways to be kinder and mindful. One step at a time.

A shift, even towards good things or spaces, feels odd, off.
Thats just change being change.
Most of us tussle with the act of change. We don't much care for the untethered feeling.
But it is worth it. And you will be ok.

Self care is important.
Give yourself time. The world, the internet, everything moves so fast now.
Who says you need to keep up with all that?

That something that is coming is way, way better.
If you can let go, the universe, god, your ancestors, can replace what was, with something so good you can't even imagine it.
Give (fill in what you call the higher self) space to work.

Carrying on from yesterdays post,
Adding an affirmation to your morning tea or coffee is something you can do for you today.
Because, you are worth it.
Deep down, way down deep, you know you are.
For reals.

What counts is that you know.
What kind thing will you do for yourself today?
