I realized a crucial lesson – learning not to take myself for granted. Observing others doing just that prompted introspection before pointing fingers.
I questioned my commitment to self-care, often prioritizing others over myself. These reflections revealed that, unintentionally, I had been neglecting my own well-being.
Sharing this realization on my blog, I encourage you to ask: Have you taken yourself for granted?
Have you honored your own commitments to yourself 1st before honoring those outside of you?
Have you learned how to say no?
Have you put just as much time into yourself as you have given to others?
Your actions toward yourself reflect outwardly.
In recent days, family triggers made me confront the dynamics I had allowed for years. Stern discussions followed, unveiling my enabling of certain behaviors and a conscious decision to distance myself. I'm realizing now it was purely subconscious.
Despite love for my family, dysfunction seemed ingrained in our bloodline, passed down through generations. Recognizing this, I set boundaries, making it clear that I won't tolerate the status quo.
Triggered emotions over the past 48 hours forced me to confront subconscious tolerances. Healing allowed me to recognize and address these issues, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing oneself.
When facing triggers, avoid projecting onto others; prioritize your well-being. I share this personal journey in the hope that it resonates and sparks self-reflection.
In grieving what I allowed, I've made a conscious decision – no longer will I permit it. May you find something valuable in this piece.
Peace.
Shadow working is bitter sweet but magically rewarding and as I begun this quieting of things outside of myself a storehouse of tools, downloads and confirmations begun and then I got distracted so thanks for reminding me to finish where I left off over a month ago! Ashe!
Thank you so much for sharing this message. This has touched me so deeply I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing. There are so so many layers and depths in this healing process I can not comprehend it. The truth is setting me free. Gratitude Goddess 🤍✨
Mmmm, I had been taking myself for granted.
It can be a challenge when all one wants is for others around to be happy and taken care of, even pleased with how you present. But along this journey of healing and growth I’ve realized how wack it is to neglect oneself while uplifting another.
I was absolutely on that track. Gratefully, things shifted in my life to grant me the opportunity to do something about it, certain truths being brought to light and truly begin this journey.
I was under the assumption or even spell that choosing self meant one is selfish. It’s still a conditioning I’m peeling off.
Thank you for sharing and providing this space!
Bliss & Love
This is particularly what my shadow were mostly entails of. Is putting myself first. Spirit has sent me information and downloads numerous times revealing to me that in my past lives I have always put everyone before myself and now this is the time to put me first. And my lifetime, this one is very important to me because of what I have to give to the world. And I have been doing my shadow work of written the things that don't serve me, things that I have been afraid of, things that I need to speak up on. Basically the things that I need to remove or reveal, and live within myself in order for me to take on…
Thank you. For a while I asked myself, “Why do I feel like I should distance myself?” As I began my shadow work I realised I was the one who needed to heal and be able to get to the point of saying no. Now that I have arrived, I have no reason to constantly ruminate over what “could’ve” or “should’ve” happened. I realised what needed to happen, did in fact happen. I am grateful. 🤍
