Look around. Notice what’s going on. What we have created as a collective.
FAKE. PHONEY. F*CKERY.
The world we live in is upside down. Don’t show emotion. Don’t say what you think. Keep yourself to yourself. Physically distance yourself to protect yourself (the irony). Connect via internet platforms which encourage and incentivise more fakery and B.S.
Is this a world you want to live in?
I have to say for me that’s a no! Whilst technology has its benefits, we’ve taken it too far.
People have stopped saying what they think for fear of being ‘censored’ or outcast. Random strangers attacking others just for the sake of it, because they believe they are ‘entitled’ to.
The internet has turned into a toxic emotional dumping ground – or perhaps it was from the start? Humans – we need to grow up.
Your emotional trauma should not be dropped on every single person you come into contact with – but that’s exactly what is happening on a day to day basis.
I’m sick of the righteous anger that is projected all over the place. How about instead of spewing all your own unresolved drama onto others you sit your ass down and take a look within – and get real with what’s truly going on.
The truth is…..
You’re scared.
You’re hurt.
You’re upset.
You’re feeling helpless.
You’re feeling [insert your emotional flavour here]
All of this lies underneath the anger and attack. The food addictions, alcohol, drugs, etc is all a way of coping with the sea of emotion that lies beneath the surface, waiting to erupt at any moment.
The layers go like this… Anger
Addictions
Fear / Terror
Grief
None of the things you want to feel – except the first one because it makes you feel powerful. Let’s be honest, nobody really wants to feel anything at the bottom of the list.
But the reality is this is what will set us free and change the negative patterns of a lifetime, and even a collective!
Becoming more emotionally sensitive, not less, is actually the answer. It is the pathway to true freedom and fulfilment. Everything else is a hollow façade, and at some point it will either come crashing down around you with major collateral damage, or you’ll dwindle into a shell of your potential and shut life out completely. I’ve done both so I’m not here to judge!
I’m here to say there is another way. I’m done with the fakery. I’m fed up of the hiding and pretending everything is fine. Look around. Look within. It’s not.
The only way we make positive changes in this world, is by making positive changes within ourselves. Nobody else can do that for you.
It seems we’re always looking for a solution to a problem, which doesn’t directly address the cause of the problem. Until we do so, we are just cutting the top off of a weed and wondering why it keeps growing back. The only way to resolve it is to get to the root cause and remove that. Anything else is band aids for bullet wounds. It might work temporarily but you’ll be bleeding again before too long.
There’s a reason you’re avoiding the pain of the past. It was so intense you didn’t want to face it. The chances are you didn’t have the support to do so. However, this is not an excuse to continue to bleed on the people who didn’t cut you. The only way out is through. I’m sharing this to save you time, energy, effort and disappointment. Believe me I’ve spent years attempting to avoid doing my emotional work (including recent years as a breathwork facilitator – the irony!!) but honestly, it is the ONLY thing that actually heals long term.
Whether you believe me or not, it doesn’t matter. Whether you like this message or not, I don’t care. I’m here to share the truth so that more people can be free of their past and free from the pain and create a life they deserve, on their terms. If that’s you, I’d love to support you.
Everything you want is on the other side of your unresolved emotions (including fear).
Remember,
Breathe the change you wish to see in the world.
