One of the most important things for me is that I write.
That I allow the thoughts and emotions that swim around in my psyche and heart space to pour out through the pen and onto the paper.
That I don’t try to keep these free thoughts and fluid emotions caged; but instead, allow them to be as they sometimes are — wild and unruly. Raw and provocative.
-
And so I write.
Sometimes, it’s a stifled line or two, while others, I cannot get my hand to dictate my inner world fast enough.
-
Through this expression I’ve come to recognize that what I think and how I feel in each moment only becomes my reality if I choose to latch onto them.
I can look back in my pages and see the spontaneous variety of thought and intensity of emotion. I can see how, at that moment, it was my truth, only to be replaced by another in the following days or weeks.
It is through this practice, and through reading books like “The Power Of Now”, “The Untethered Soul”, and currently, “The Mastery of Self”, that I’ve realized I only experience pain and suffering when I accept these thoughts and feelings as truth. When I attach to them, I then begin to code them into my belief system, and eventually, my entire human experience is influenced through this prism of perceived truth.
If the thoughts and emotions are negative, I have a negatively colored experience.
If they are positive, and I latch on too tightly, I then suffer when they are no longer in my field of experience.
It has become a daily practice to remind myself, “I am not my thoughts.” “I am not this emotion.” “I am simply she who is experiencing and witnessing these things.”
Depression is an emotion that most people cycle through in life. Feelings of hopelessness and despair are common, even if for a fleeting moment, after a human experiences loss, grief, or trauma.
I can see how pain and suffering occurs when I believe the idea that “I am depressed” instead of recognizing that I am experiencing a wave of depression.
Belief is a powerful construct.
It has started wars, inspires revolution, defines cultures, impacts biology, and shapes identities.
Questioning mine has begun to open doors...
-
And so... I write.📝

jackalynnlee Thank you, thank you for inspiring me to pick up my pen again. I've put it down for myself recently, I only write to my daughter in our Momma and Me journal (although she's only 10 months old). I don't take the time to pen down all these other thoughts that too often consume me. ..

nicole_mejia @erikaelrand Erika, my girl. ? thank you so much for always receiving what I share, and for being you. You’re a special, sensitive soul filled with so much strength! I truly hope all is well with you and that you’re finding reasons to smile. Love to you??

coachjeremy305 This is so powerful. I think so many of us avoid those conversations with ourselves and never build that self awareness. Writing pen to paper is such a powerful tool and I’m grateful that you’re sharing your experiences with us. Appreciate you 🙏🙏🙏

tingeynwny What’s going to happen to the fit&thick app and the paid for subscriptions that go past September if you won’t be doing anything with the app anymore. Or will there be an update on the app that converts it you your new brand???

fit_hungry I’m going through a similar “process” now myself. Learning how to just really be me and be ok with not being able to make everyone happy. P.S. Your eyes are so pretty they’re distracting 😄

cassandrabroz_ Your words are so powerful. I love every message you send 😍♥️ I’ve followed you forever and this is one of the biggest reasons. You inspire me ⭐️ & you are BEAUTIFUL inside & out!
