I Realize That I

[Let It Be]

I realize that I learned at a very early age that I didn't matter.

I realize that at an very old age that I do matter!

I realize that I do not have to be on alert on 100 % all the time.

I realize that over and over again I keep confirming that I can only trust myself.

I realize that with PTSD going through a crises involves so many different types of emotions and thoughts that are not positive so focusing on the things I can do and not the things I cannot.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

I realize that I have "paid my dues" many times over and deserve to enjoy the life I've created for myself.

 

[Anrish]

I realize that I am a mess.

 

[Let It Be]

I realize that in the past, I overlooked, ignored, shut down, let the other person have their way and I can't allow that to happen anymore.

I realize that now I have more awareness and am stronger to deal with the situation in the best interest of me.

 

[Heather]

I realize that all my determination has paid off and I am creating the life I want!

 

[Anrish]

I realize that I changed my priorities.

I realized that when I give room in my head rent free to my inner critic that afterwards I feel the effects of parental abuse and suffer the consequences in my body the next day. Never again will I reenact the abuse and will choose a more life affirming way that does good and not the bad.

I realize:

1. Needs, or not meeting them, is much different than wants, which not meeting them doesn't have the same repercussions. And the repercussions eventually surface somewhere, even if ignored, minimized or denied.

2. I think I'm starting to understand better the insidious ways things like hypervigilance etc manifest themselves or complicate daily life; the difference between explanations on paper vs the mind and body's (re)actions hidden in less blatantly obvious ways, but very obvious to me when I actually notice them & question to what degree are they accurate (actually necessary) to the present moment.

I realize that my mental heatlh goes down with my physical health - need some more time.
