Repeating Patterns of Destruction?

Hi there and happy Monday,

Today I wanted to share a topic that is unfortunately all too familiar for many of us: Repeating patterns of suffering. These patterns can manifest in various ways, such as negative self-talk, toxic relationships, or self-destructive behaviors, and they can keep us feeling stuck, unhappy, and trapped in a cycle of pain. However, there are ways to break free from these patterns and create a more fulfilling life. Let's dive in.

First, it's important to understand why we repeat patterns of suffering in the first place. Many people believe we unconsciously recreate past experiences that were painful or traumatic as a way to gain mastery over them. In other words, we try to rewrite the story of our past by repeating it, hoping that this time we can control the outcome. However, this often leads to the same negative patterns repeating themselves over and over again, keeping us trapped in a cycle of suffering.

So, how do we break free from these patterns? 

Here are some tips:

Mindfulness meditation: Mindfulness meditation can help us become more aware of our thoughts and feelings, and create space between them and our reactions. This can help us break free from automatic, unconscious patterns of behavior and allow us to make more conscious, intentional choices.

Affirmations: Affirmations are positive statements that we repeat to ourselves to help shift our mindset and beliefs. By replacing negative self-talk with positive affirmations, you can reprogram your subconscious mind and create a more positive, empowering inner dialogue.

Spiritual Coaching: Coaching and especially Shadow Work can help us identify and process the root causes of our repeating patterns as well as provide us with tools and strategies to break free from them. Spiritual coaching along with energy medicine can be very effective in helping individuals overcome repeating patterns of suffering.

Self-care: Taking care of ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually can help us build resilience and reduce the likelihood of falling back into old patterns. This can include activities such as exercise, meditation, spending time in nature, and engaging in creative pursuits.

Breaking free from repeating patterns of suffering is not easy, but it is possible. By being mindful, using positive affirmations, seeking a coach, and practicing self-care, we can create a more fulfilling and joyful life. Remember, you deserve to be happy and free from suffering.

At Serenity Reiki Clinic, we offer energy sessions and coaching to assist you in this process. I'm also in the process of developing a free 10-day email challenge to show you how you can easily end this cycle of needless suffering. It will be out this summer, so stay tuned.

The manga industry, especially JUMP, needs to hurry up and do away with weekly scheduling for mangaka. There needs to better regulations put into place for their health and safety because this is pitiful. Two weeks - monthly updates should’ve already been the standard for the manga industry at this point. These money grabbers will only continue to put the lives of these artists at stake for the sake of capitalism unless some serious changes are implemented.

i wrote an interactive poem for my girlfriend in 3 parts. she said you need to read it.

go here: take only the final quiz or take all 3. i don't mind. it's sad, though. this is a poem about choice. about fate and mental illness and how love fits inside of all of it. this is a poem about a long dark hallway. mostly this is a poem about mango sushi rolls.

good luck. i love you. despite it all, i'm hopeful.

I think in the chaos of today, it's important to also remember that Alex hosted this stream the same day one of his heroes; David Lynch, had passed away.

As Alex said, there would be no Twin Peaks with out David and in turn, no Gravity Falls.

And the thing is, Gravity Falls was hugely inspired by Twin Peaks. There's many nods to the show in GF from the Red Room, the town vibe, small scenes here and there, etc.

David Lynch even originally was asked to be the voice of Bill Cipher. He turned it down and Bill's voice that Alex does is more as he said it, a bad impersonation of David.

Alex even jokingly mentioned once he's make a season 3 of GF with David voicing a ceiling fan.

There was also the Peaks Twins in the Next Time On that were a clear play on Twin Peaks...

Also, he has a pretty close connection to Kyle Maclachlan, due to the fact he voices the bus driver in the finale.

Alex wanted him to be the one to take the twins home as he felt having Dale Cooper do so would be a fitting end to their story. He reached out to Kyle's managers who never got back to him. So, Alex wrote a personal letter to Kyle telling him how much Twin Peaks meant to him and that he'd love for him to do this cameo on Gravity Falls. Kyle instantly responded back and agreed to do it.

When I heard the news David passed, I instantly first checked on Alex cause I knew he'd take it pretty hard. I think in a way, David Lynch was for him what he is to so many of us Gravity Falls fans.

Below is a video Alex posted to Instagram after he heard the news...

I'm gonna finish Twin Peaks now in his memory. I meant to do so for ages as I began watching it the same time I got into Gravity Falls but never finished. Now more than ever is the best time to get it done!

Rest in Peace, David Lynch. Thank you 🌲

Can I just say, I really appreciate how Critical Role plays the Devil trope straight. There's been this phenomena in a lot of modern media (I'm not going to mention specifics but I'm sure a few examples pop up in people's minds) where Hell and the Devil aren't scary or malevolent forces. Hell is portrayed as being basically the same as our world just "edgier", and the Devil is a pretty decent guy actually. Heaven are secretly the real bad guys!

But Critical Role doesn't do that. In Exandria, Asmodeus *feels* like the Devil. He's malevolent and manipulative and terrifyingly powerful and he hates you, personally. We never see that type of portrayal anymore! And it's amazing! And he still manages to be sympathetic and tragic without losing his edge!

And the "Good Gods" are portrayed as flawed without being secretly evil or something! Like, actual nuance? In my Heaven/Hell dichotomy? What!?

It's just such a breath of fresh air after so many "The Devil was right, actually" stories. So props to Matt and Brennan and the cast.
