What Did You Learn This Year?

to stop dwelling on the past

That I should have been nicer to myself for the last thirty years.

 

[Tornadic Thoughts]

I've learned a whole lot more about unlearning. So much useless/inaccurate data deeply ingrained and stored in sacred brain space that doesn't allow much breathing room or space to grow. Continually clearing the once convincing clutter.

I learned that engaging in regular deep breathing practice helps keep all the sacred inner spaces nicely aired out.

I learned to more regularly smudge my living spaces, especially if anyone with artificial scents enters into it. I can feel the energies shift. As a dear friend says, "Smudge that shit!"

I learned that anti-gravity toys, specifically hula hoops, sure are a fun way to strengthen the core, shed some weight, and provide belly laughs.

I learned the mini-trampoline, accompanied by some of my favorite jams at a high volume, is as close as I'll physically get to flying for now.

I learned that what I practice and focus on grows, whether I want it to or not. Each thought counts. Every word of self-talk gets absorbed. My cells are listening and they never forget.

I learned there is a powerful connection way beyond what I thought possible between what I ingest and allow on and around my being that heavily influences how I feel/function/navigate my emotions within my days. Everything is energy.

I learned that I will live and have survived a living hell with the love and support of my forum friends. I learned that when the worst thing in the world happened to me that I am strong enough to endure in the face of so much blind rage, and hatred of me. Many costly and painful lessons for me this past year. I learned to always have hope and prayers.

Also that sharing is pointless. So is trying to change anything, because it leads f*cken nowhere.

I’m not bulletproof.

I’ve been humbled.

I hate to blame others but a lot of other people f*cked up bad and helped me to where I am.

I’m gonna get out of this somehow.

Fake people make me violently ill.

I should have had kids.

I’m still not %100 sure this won’t end in suicide. This terrifies and calms me simultaneously.
