I love group hugs! Here’s to restoration and replenishment – vitality rising for thriving.

Have been noticing various stuck patterns / places in my life and also how I tend to be very self-judgmental & mean to myself around this. I wrote a post here last week and then deleted it - because even though I can see I have blocks & self-sabotage, I still keep running the same damn dysfunctional patterns anyways. It drives me alittle bit crazy.

Even so, this self-meanness has to stop. I find myself wanting to change the name of this treehouse to “Self-Kindness Treehouse” because I really need to learn this. I set my intention that before I die / pass to the “Great Beyond” I want to learn to love myself. Don’t want to go to my death bed regretting that I spent most of my life being mean to myself & even self-abusive at times. Praying to the Great Mother to choose self-compassion / make it a way of life.

Bought two new audiobooks - “Outshining Trauma” by Ralph De La Rosa, and “The Joy Reset” by Dr. MaryCatherine McDonald, Ph.D. Hoping these will help to create a real shift. The Outshining Trauma book is about radical self-compassion & seems really good so far.

Looking forward to the “Yes My Circus, But NOT My Monkey” workshop on May 25th.

Thank you, Jewel. I fully support your desire to shift into more self-compassion. “Even though I certainly COULD be mean to myself right now, and I’m good at that… I’ve decided to ____” – I did a lot of that kind of tapping.

My self-compassion deepens and strengthens when I take ONE new action on a consistent basis. Not “perfect consistent” but treating it like a sacred decision.

Today was day 1500 for my Morning Mile. It started, though, as Day 1. And then Day 2.

I do track, as a reminder more than “accountability.”

Is there something that, if you did it for 100 days, would establish you on a different level of loving compassion? Anything that has lit up as a useful practice in your reading?

Thanks Rick. I appreciate your support. There have been some idea’s percolating in the back of my mind. Something about going to the “Self-Kindness Temple” daily and praying for help. And I’ve been noticing when I’m at work and ask “Self-Kindness Jewel” to sort of take over, there is a softening and I seem to relax abit instead of being so harsh with myself. Enjoying that.

I think this is going to be my “Summer of Self-Kindness”. I will go to this inner temple daily and ask for help / pray for divine grace to learn new ways. I found some soothing images on Pinterest that inspire me along these lines…
