"Your relationship with yourself sets the tone
for every other relationship you have."
Robert Holden
My pen could hardly keep up with my exploding thoughts of insight. As each ignited, there was increased light into my own dark habits. The experience pushed me to hold myself accountable for personal perceptions which were sabotaging happiness. Through new eyes, I could see how my life was being muted by passive reactions.
Tearing paper into strips, I began jotting down negative thoughts that were restricting my daily experiences. I could feel expansion with the release of each brief entry. Taking a glass pickle jar, I carefully folded each strip and placed them into the repurposed container. This would be a reminder of how I kept myself dummied down.
If I felt a person didn't know me, perhaps I have kept my unique self hidden. If I have a passion for tenderly holding a book for it's feel and fragrance, why am I only using a kindle? If someone is disrespecting me, maybe I need to respect myself and walk away. Maybe, ultimately, I need to use my energy to unfurl who I am, rather than defend.
