Daily Practice: Creating a Safe Space for Processing Pain

It Takes Action and Momentum to Move. Mindset is the things we know in Theory and Mindfulness puts the Mindset into Practice. Without practice, our Thoughts are Reduced to a Good Idea or a Bad Idea. We think upwards of 60,000 thoughts a day. 80 percent are Negative and of those 48,000 thoughts that are Negative, 95 percent or 45,600 of them are REPETITIVELY NEGATIVE Thoughts! Mindfulness is taking the 12,000 Positive Thoughts and Taking Action On Them 1 at a Time to Create Momentum. Mindfulness Creates ALL Possibility!

Self-worth is at the core of our very selves— It’s our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they determine how we view our worthiness and value as human beings. According to the self-worth theory, self-worth is determined mostly by our self-evaluated abilities and our performance in one or more activities that we label as valuable. Unfortunately, we have the bad habit of commonly using other people’s measuring sticks to measure our self-worth. So, we are going to explore, unpack and re-assemble the construction of how we think about our worthiness. Find the Caring for Souls blog here https://noneofusareimmune.com/

We are emotionally stunted as a society and the process of sitting with pain is step one of healing. Be a sanctuary. Be the calm in the storm. Be the lighthouse calling her/him/they/you to safety. The heartbreak of losing someone who holds so many pieces of our souls is something we never get over. We get through. Be the LIGHT. Don’t make her/him/they/you hide.

The vast majority of people are living in a way that is not supportive of physical wellness. For all of the dismissers who say, “oh, she’s exaggerating…” 75 percent of People are Chronically Dehydrated – the BODY requires constant resupply of water to replace what has been lost with every breath, droplet of sweat and trip to the bathroom. We are 60 percent water. Dehydration is damage to our system at the cellular level. None of our organs required to support life are getting sufficient hydration to function correctly. The dehydration causes inflammation, which means the tissue is swollen beyond what is normal. Stretching things beyond capacity causes chronic erosion of health. Think of a balloon. It either pops because it is over full, pops because of disease or trauma or it loses its air, elasticity and buoyancy – its life. That’s how the body is, too.

It is Soulful Sundays Today’s Wellness Warrior Mindset practice is: Creating EMPOWERMENT First things first, clearing out dysfunctional mindsets, upgrading our thinking to a wellness mindset. Do I have an overthinkers in the house? LOL – it’s everyone. I was being tricky! We overthink because we’ve learned to discount and silence our own voice. We overthink because we live in fear of using our voice and power. We overthink because we don’t trust our own voice or capabilities. We’ve boxed ourselves in, you see, in personal disempowerment. We are gonna change that and create wellness by practicing using our voices. It’s time to UPGRADE OUR OPERATING SYSTEMS by ridding ourselves of the Bad Habit of Learning things the Hard Way  Stuck in varying degrees UNWELLNESS because we are TOO STUBBORN TO DO THE WORK to Struggle Less. Creating Wellness that runs on autopilot is the goal because we have everything locked in to our daily practices.
