“In a single moment – with a single choice – your entire life can be different.”
Thank you @jamilareddy for this thought (check out their post).
“You can start over. You can end that pattern. You can transform that habit.”
I know this, and I needed to hear it again. I do my best to live this, and I needed to hear it again. I feel myself shift as I do this, and I needed to hear it again.
In this moment, this single moment, I can choose differently and I can shift and grow.
There are moments now when I’m feeling good – like me, in joy, in peace and ease. And there are moments when I’m (understandably) aching and anxious. As you read this I may be under anesthesia again. Again, understandably aching and anxious.
The other day I was in an aching, needy moment, and I paused long enough to ask myself, “What do you need right now, sweetheart? What do you need to hear?”
I gave that to myself. I wrapped myself in a hug, put my hand on my heart, and said exactly what I needed to hear to ease my anxiety and ache.
It felt amazing.
I shifted from needy and wanting to calm and whole. In one single moment. I let go. I let myself be. I let myself breathe. I let myself feel. And I let myself soothe and move on.
I made my entire life different. With a single choice.#lifestyledesign
I’d love to hear your thoughts, and please share this post with others if it resonates with you!
If you have been in ANY high control group or religion, share your story with the hashtag #IGotOut. Share on your own platform OR if you need to be anonymous and/or would like support, there are resources at the @igotout_org website.
When you see a survivor share their story, let them know they have been heard. This is such a meaningful part of the movement. We all need to know we’re not alone.
If you know someone who has been harmed by a high demand group, share #igotout posts or stories you think would help them.
Together we can bring awareness to how many of us have been harmed by high control organizations and end the shame or stigma we might feel about our experiences.
