Today is one of those days when I am quite angry of myself because I am still allowing my fears to control my life and behavior. I still have a problem defending my opinion and expressing things important to me. From one point I am trying to be peacemaker even if I see sometimes IContinue reading “10.12.2018 = Compromising”

09.12.2018 = Self – compassion
Do we have enough compassion and understanding towards ourselves? Or it is just better to let some things go and let it be even though we would compromise something just to avoid some conflicts. Especially when around the corner is Christmas and lots of celebrations it so easy to just forget who deserves first theContinue reading “09.12.2018 = Self – compassion”
05.12.2018 = Practice
I have recently started to notice that my practice of speaking up and just doing things which have made me really uncomfortable for many years has been finally working.

Resistance
Last few weeks I am more intensively feeling resistance from my scared part which is always hiding and choosing excuses over action.

Fear – one part of my body which is always there. If not active it waits for that trigger moment to attack. Fear – it is starting with a racing heart, hard breathing, heavy feeling in my chest area, shaky hands and just feeling hopeless. Like it will never end and there is no wayContinue reading “Frozen”
How far is too far?
How far is too far? When should I say stop it is enough – this is your borderline. I am wondering about this last few months when I started to feel overwhelmed because of how much I was trying to change myself to overcome my fears and set myself free. Somehow I felt more and moreContinue reading “How far is too far?”
The Body Keeps the Score
I am currently finishing an amazing book which has helped me to understand better why I am the way I are. Why I have some parts of me which I would like to forget and leave it in a past – fearful, silent and closed. At some point sometimes too fearful that I am not able toContinue reading “The Body Keeps the Score”
