Where you... feel a wall of energy closing in on you, as it squeezes you from inside feel overwhelmed with what you are doing, (where it feels all too much to deal with), or rather what you are...

Your processing prompt provides an opportunity for you to delve into self-reflection and uncover more about yourself Dear Reader Are you more comfortable dealing with emotional pain or physical pain, both or neither? For me, I will take emotional pain over physical pain, any day. When I experience emotions I know I can work through them, because I understand why they are there, what I am experiencing, and what is required to work with them and heal them. It is a pain that I am familiar with...

Your monthly processing prompt, an opportunity for you to reflect on your processing for the purpose of exploring more of you. Dear Reader Over-responsibility has been a theme and a focus for me for a few months now. The reason being, is my mum is one of the remaining people in my life where I have still held a lot of emotion around holding responsibility for her physical and emotional well being. The beauty is I have had many opportunities to change the patterns I conditioned myself with,...

Your monthly processing prompt, an opportunity for you to reflect on your processing for the purpose of exploring more of you. Dear Reader How many times during a week do you experience things not going the way you want or expect them to? And you find yourself fighting what is happening to you? Fighting the process that is unfolding. Resisting it, pushing back on it, pushing it, and trying to make something else happen. You make what is going on wrong. Even getting frustrated, impatient and...

Your monthly processing prompt, an opportunity for you to reflect on your processing for the purpose of exploring more of you. Dear Reader Many times I have heard friends say "I am setting boundaries with (a certain person) so that they do not treat me anymore, the way they have been" And I have been fascinated that the focus of the boundary setting was on the other person. Because a person can only treat you in a certain way if you choose for them to do so (whether that choice is a conscious...

Your monthly processing prompt, an opportunity for you to reflect on your processing for the purpose of exploring more of you. Dear Reader "Yes" and "No" - two words that are definitely small in their length, yet powerful in terms of the processing that sits behind both of these responses, and the impacts they have on you and the people around you. They are significant processes that are a reflection of your self-worth. And you do not have to use these exact words to say "yes" or "no". Your...

Dear Reader Over-responsibility, one of the greatest burdens you and I can carry through our life. Feeling and being responsible for adults and fulfilling their responsibilities. Responsibilities that are not yours or mine to hold and fulfill. What was uncomfortable and confronting for me, in admitting I was over-responsible was that in essence I was parenting people whom I was not a parent to. I was parenting adults. Adults who are responsible for parenting themselves. Over-responsibility is...

Dear Reader I am sure you have had experiences like I have, where there are times I just want to talk to someone about what I am feeling and thinking. Where I want to share my processing. And I share my processing purely so I am able to voice what I am thinking and feeling, as having someone listen to me, assists me to work through what is going on inside of me so that I can gain clarity for myself There are times when I need someone to ask me questions to prompt me with my processing There...

Dear Reader A component of self-worth that is not often connected to self-worth or talked about - is dignity. Dignity often is a focus, in situations where people's independence, freedom, choices and basic needs such as safety, hygiene, health and food are being impacted. This is seen in situations such as with refugees, people who are homeless, the care of people of age and for those who require physical care. And it is not just important but essential that people in these situations and...

Dear Reader In my own personal processing over the last six months, I have been exploring soul potential, as opposed to human potential. When we are connected to our true self, our soul self, in human form, what is our potential in the expression of our soul, and in what way and how is it different from our human potential? One of the areas of processing that became prominent for me through a meeting at a local hardware store (of all places, and because of this it made an impact on me and was...
