We all need love and support but we need to adult our own parts.

Every single time an issue or challenge shows up in my life, I zoom in on it. And every single time another puzzle piece of my soul is returned.

Are you aware of your core wound? In short, it’s an emotional injury that stems from the past. It's all about “am I enough.” Even though I’m flawed, will you still love me? And even though you were loved as a child, you may not have been loved in the way you needed it. This applies to everyone.

Have you ever thought, why am I still dealing with this same (argument, person, situation, addiction)?

When your behaviour isn’t good, you're asleep.

You’ve got to admit - all emotional hurt comes from your past.

That’s why to really heal you have to go back.

Not for long, but healing will allow you to move forward with anticipation without bringing yesterday’s pain to a future experience. Without healing, the pain doesn’t just go away. And that’s hard.

To be triggered is a response based on something that happens to you. You’ve been there, (we’ve all been there) - someone says something to you, similar to an unapproving parent for example - and you react with anger or shut down. Maybe you smell a fragrance which takes you back to a bad experience and all of a sudden you are filled with anxiety or dread.

Triggers are interesting, and definitely a good place to see where you might hold old wounds. I’ve noticed, the more work I do on me, the easier it becomes to not react, and therefore, keep my power.
