Feelings and Reality

Our feelings are valid; our feelings are a mirror of our interior life, our needs, our deepest soul-stirring desires.

At the same time, I have to have the humility to remind myself that my feelings might not quite reflect Reality; they may be the product of unhealthy patterns of thinking and interior structures that, instead of helping me to authentically love others (and, thus, to authentically love myself), serve as defense mechanisms of self-preservation and self-satisfaction.

My feelings might reflect the reality of what I am experiencing interiorly because of the structures I have built, consciously and unconsciously, to buttress my soul, but the reality I am experiencing is not the reality others are experiencing, much less Reality itself.

So, our feelings are important in helping us to understand the reality within us and how we interpret the Reality outside of us. Are these feelings the product of healthy patterns of thinking? Do they help me to really love others and to love myself? If not, what can I do to change my patterns of thinking to interpret Reality in a more life-giving, liberating way?

Why do we struggle with rest?

By nature, by molding, I am a thinker. I analyze, postulate, and predict. This way of life has worked for me professionally. I have been described as a high achiever, accomplished, driven, “smarty pants”, a general go-getter. I have enjoyed a long professional career in the mental health field and seen as an expert in autism and autism related areas. Unfortunately, that doesn’t leave room for…

anywaaaaaay cognitive restructuring is on my mind a lot this week because i'm trying sooooo hard not to be frightened of inducing a chronic illness flare that makes me feel like i'm dying again due to symptom-triggering weather and tasks above my normal ability levels, and instead turning it into ✨ Simple Week ✨ where we don't do any of the physically demanding chores (rip the state of my house) and do a little bit of painting every morning before it gets too hot and we have a mandatory lay down every day after lunch and everything is niceys now (:

also thinking about how a lot of the time i only show people the ✨Simple Week✨ side of things so i am looking very okay regardless of my actual state :P

BUT i am genuinely enamoured with the phrase Simple Week peace and love on planet earth we are doing our best and having a nice time whenever possible <3
