Sudden Bursts Of Insight

[JustBe]

Hi all,

I have only been here a short while but have learned so much already! Today I realized that some of the muck I'm slogging through is from the years of caring for my son 24/7 when he was very ill and suicidal. I thought that was all in the past, but apparently my reactions are still very much a part of my day to day life.

Anyone else have one of those "aha" moments?

Today I realized that one thing that has changed about me is that I don't feel like I have to be perfect. And, it builds my self esteem to accept myself as an in progress person, with aspirations to be better. I know I will never attain the perfect image of me that I have in my head, and that is no longer a bad thing. I guess I'm enjoying the journey now. :)

Movin'On I think you are in resonance with this place. You have been understanding threads and posts. You have opened up yourself and allowing the things you have been wanted. These are my thoughts and yes, it is good for you that you are learning so much. :)

Jaret,
Thank you!
What you said makes me feel like my heart got a warm hug.:hug:

Glad to hear that Movin'On. Keep sharing what you have learned and your thoughts also. :hug:

May I ask is that your pet dog in your avatar? It's bit funny as it is showing tongue out. hahah :)

Ok, this one seems like a no brainer, but I realized that I have to watch myself very carefully so that I don't sabotage my recent weight loss. I spent the better part of my adult life hiding behind my weight.

Success doesn't look at our age. You can do it again.

My insight came with the help of my T and I don't think I would have been at the stage now without it. It is good to be kind to myself, I deserve good things and it is okay not to be perfect.

Some days are harder than others to truly believe it but it is getting easier.

I woke up this morning after another bad dream and realized that I cut my long hair short many years ago because Men liked it long.

I'd always thought (or told myself) it was because short hair was easier to care for (actually it's not!).

Yes, I have. I could never figure out why my life is the way it is. After much soul searching and "cleaning house", I now know.
