Had someone tell me yesterday that I was "bad ass". It was a compliment, but not usually one bestowed on a 56 year old. So I am going to own it and be my "bad ass" self. :tup:

Learning about energy cords. We create an energy cord each time we send out our life force and attach it to an object of our desire.

Healthy attractions energize, while unhealthy ones drain. Opening self up to outside attachment sources, especially once one already feels drained and depleted, only serves to create even more cords.

When I try to fuel myself/surround myself with matter that is very low in life force, I experience much more difficulty overall. Weakened dispositions create many energy leaks. So does strangling myself with way too many energy cords.

Lessons learned...not creating unnecessary cords that will drain my life force is ideal, but just in case, keep the scissors handy to cut the ones that need to go.

Working with T on trauma timeline in preparation for adult/child role-playing to try and heal child within makes me feel more empowered. Also admitting to T that I may need to add an a.d.h.d. script to help with difficult symptoms makes me also feel stronger this day.

I don't have to care what others think of me. Especially others that don't have my best interests at heart.

I don't have to give my power away to anyone. I can be on my side instead.

I can say NO. I can demand respect. I don't have to take things lying down.

Realising that nobody can take over my adult mind....I'm in absolute control of that!

I learned that I can choose to focus on the things I can control.

I learned I can fix all the squeaky door hinges and such with a few drops of olive and/or fractionated coconut oil. I can't hang with the scent of wd-40 and the like. Nor can I stand those damn squeaks. lol Well there ya' go. Problem solved.
