I am proud of myself for stepping into the spaces and circumstances that I have zero control over and choosing to move through them as authentically as I can, no performing, no “I should feel this,” no “I am expected do that…” Just existing and feeling in the moment-to-moment, whatever that looks like for me, is a win.
I love this post so much! So beautiful to read the ways in which you are celebrating yourself, amazing work!! I have been working a lot on expanding my capacity to celebrate myself and connecting that to a feeling of pleasure in my body (where there used to be embarrassment or shame) so this one resonates. Today I am feeling proud that I am still putting myself out there in dating/romance even though it has historically been soo uncomfortable and challenging for me. I have so many wounds around intimacy and the process can feel really overwhelming for my body. My comfort is to be alone and in my safe space so continuing to show up with my resistance is a big growth edge for me. I feel like things need to look or feel a certain way and when they don't I get scared. I am also so scared of getting hurt. My heart is the most sacred part of me and her protection of me shows up a lot when dating, which is beautiful, but can also create much resistance. A lot of these feelings are being reflected to me as I date right now and I am so proud of myself for being present with all that is coming up, moving slow, and tending to my parts with care. Honestly a lot of your love journey and the way you've written about it has been inspiring for me Ruthie so thank you so much. Sending hugs
Thank you so much for sharing all of this. I am so proud of you too! I love that you’re putting yourself out there and going into uncomfortable situations- that is so expensive and so kind and so loving! Way to go sister!!!!! I love how you are tending to your tender sweet heart!
This really hit the spot! Thank you for sharing! I’m so proud of you for your courage and determination to keep moving towards your most truest self. For such a long time i didn’t understand how to feel my feeling’s really be present with them! I’m so proud that I’m currently not only grieving my dads recent death who has decided to leave this world too soon on his own terms but an intense reoccurring PTSD episode and for the first time in my life I surrender and feel it through and to realize I’m still here that it didn’t eat my alive, that’s such a huge thing for me! Much love to you
Ahhh Dorothea- that means so much to hear and thank you for sharing what you’re proud! I’m celebrating you for feeling all of this! Such massive work sister ❤️❤️❤️
Love this so much. The way of integrity truly changed my life when I read it 4 years ago. Martha Beck is one of my most cherished teachers. 🙏🏻❤️ proud of all that you are moving towards and for sharing it with all of us!! Thank you.
Beautiful, beautiful. I felt you as I read you and I’m proud to witness. And I’m really proud of how much more I’ve felt into my wholehearted self in the TWO years since we worked together. Big incremental shifts
I am so proud of you. 🥰 Connected with this post so deeply, sister. I also LOVE The Way of Integrity, and you might have just inspired me to read it again. I think it’s so powerful to continue to find the areas that are not in alignment. I am proud of myself for releasing music that feels true and authentic. No matter how risky change can feel, the process is so beautifully liberating. 💜
