You manifest healing connections when you have done significant self-healing and worked on becoming the best version of yourself. This is because, when you do, you attract people who align with your higher self rather than your lower self. Your lower self reveals what needs healing, while your higher self magnetizes the harvest of your hard work. ~ @feminiel

the danger of (focusing only on) the Mind

in difficult moments

The mind has a tendency towards defense,

and with defense, being connected to this mechanism, in moments when we face some kind of threat, fear, or difficulty, the mind focuses on seeing the negative.

Since it feels that it is important to protect itself from everything, it soon understands that you must be on the defensive.

This is why pessimism tends to arise.

For in moments when something negative appears to deal with, the mind immediately wants to take us to defense.

It's as if the negative situation is, for the mind, a confirmation that everything is negative and that only evil exists. Hence the pessimism.

However, because it is an exaggerated state of defense, the mind falls into the traps of sadness, melancholy, aversion to opening up to others, generating anguish and melancholy.

Focusing on the heart, intuition, and feelings can save us from this. <3

For instead of insecurity, we will find some internal support and assistance. Instead of the inner voice saying that nothing is reliable, by relying on your heart and yourself, you can feel confidence in yourself.

It is important to remember that the more these things happen, the more the human mind deals with crystallized thoughts of pessimism, closing off from the world, defense, anger, and the need for isolation, precisely because it believes that life is only this.

Remember: you are not your state; states come and go, especially intense states that demonstrate phases of your life!

You are more than that. You are stronger than your own mind!

After all, it is only a part of you.

And the mind, lies!

What should I do if I consistently have negative thoughts or criticisms toward others, and I really want to change that?

1. Self-compassion First of all, please forgive yourself. Many view themselves negatively upon recognizing their own critical thoughts. However, your desire to improve indicates that deep within, you possess kindness and love. Your mind has just developed certain habitual thought patterns, but these patterns can be altered.

2. Identify the Root Causes Negative thought patterns can stem from various causes. Perhaps someone has projected their malicious thoughts and emotions, such as jealousy, onto you. Consequently, this negative energy might attract similar thoughts to your mind. You might also feel a sense of inadequacy, leading to negative emotions that generate unhealthy thoughts. Past experiences, such as traumas and excessive criticism during childhood, could also create deep-seated patterns. You can identify the root causes by paying attention to your triggers. What scenarios and individuals evoke the most negativity? What aspects of them irritate you? What exact emotions and thoughts go through your head? Delving into these triggers can help you trace back to the root of the issue.

3. Embrace and Release After you have dug out the root causes, experience the emotions that come from them. It may be useful to find meanings in them to facilitate your recovery. Afterward, tell yourself that you have grown from this experience, and you are ready to forgive anyone involved, let it go, and move on.

4. Affirmative Practice Regularly practicing positive affirmations, such as "I am safe and loved now," is beneficial. Such practices strengthen positive thought processes.

Best of luck on your journey toward self-healing and achieving mental serenity!

Bust a Move

Entering stage-left like a disco dancer with a score to settle, this tiny ‘soft robot’ makes a determined effort to cross the floor. All the more impressive as people keep sticking knives into its limbs. This quadruped robot is made from a self-healing material – an elastomer that repairs after the cuts, combined with wavy light sensors capable of detecting stress and damage then feeding the information back to a controlling computer. In this particular model, after every cut the robot adjusts its movement – it’s gait – to compensate for its injuries. Researchers believe this new generation of flexible electronics gains a form of awareness or 'damage intelligence' – they’re not only resilient to damage but can adapt to it. Similar robots may be suited to working inside or alongside the body, monitoring stresses and strains on and off the dance floor.

Self-Control is tough on a good day...

What is your go to emotion in the heat of an emotional discussion? Anger is an extremely powerful and very detrimental emotion. Moreso to ourselves than the loved ones we throw it at.

Resentments from past events have tremendous power over our words and actions in our present moments...

Past harsh emotional situations include unresolved injustices Dig deep within your mind. Ask yourself all the whats and hows to isolate the one key point which you identify as your own action/inaction you can own yourself without dismissing it and blaming it on someone else.

Fear leads to the dark recesses of our minds, Fear leads to our anger, Anger leads to us hating and Hating your fellow man leads to our own suffering.

What are the fears in our minds?

What was YOUR emotion at that time? What caused you to bury and hide it? That action and resulting emotion "maybe" the root.

LET'S OWN OUR WORDS AND ACTIONS!

Taking Control of Your Life

When someone experiences abuse, it can have a lasting impact on their mental and emotional well-being. It is not uncommon for people who have been abused to develop maladaptive coping mechanisms or behaviors that perpetuate the cycle of abuse. This can include becoming an abuser themselves in the future.

Abuse can take many forms, such as physical, emotional, sexual, or financial. It can occur in any type of relationship, including familial, romantic, or professional. Survivors of abuse may struggle with feelings of powerlessness, low self-esteem, and difficulty trusting others. These can contribute to a cycle of abuse, as they may turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms to feel a sense of control or to numb their pain.

Furthermore, it is important to note that not all survivors of abuse become abusers themselves. With the right support and resources, it is possible to break the cycle of abuse and heal from the trauma. It starts with recognizing the patterns of abuse and seeking help to address any underlying issues.

If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, it is important to seek professional help and support. This can include therapy, counseling, or support groups. No one deserves to be abused, and everyone deserves to live a life free from fear and harm.

LIFE IS MESSY BUT THE VIBE IS MAGICAL

This will all pass

It may look like a big issue now

It's really nothing once it's all passes

You won't believe it

But you will talk about things as if they're some joke

So tell me not to worry too much

I'll make difficult choices and it'll hard for me

After a year a morning will come

So trust that day and persevere

Told yourself that your choices are right

Cry for a moment

Blame yourself for little

But remember the lessons for a long time

Every small change every day has led me to an eventual big transformation of the self.

There are nuances between change and transformation.

Change is a difference you make in your life or in yourself to improve and develop your progression. Changes can be made in habits, beliefs, perspectives, behaviors, routines, and other actions that alter the way you live.

On the other hand, transformation is a difference that you make that changes your whole being. Your existing self is shifting into a new level of being. Your past self can no longer be who you were in the past. The change is deeper and more significant. It changes fundamentally who you are at your core. Your entire being is following the new flow of your newfound energy. Transformation happens when a radical change is made in your belief systems, how you understand yourself, how you understand your life, your mindset, how you process things, and how your soul is evolving towards liberation from the false self. Your energetic system is breaking down to allow you to become a truer version of yourself.

Small changes that support your energy system and who you want to be are what bring major transformations. It has not been easy, as transformation takes lots of work—LOTS of work and effort. It requires a great deal of energy and time to self-heal. ~ @feminiel

Letting go of perfectionism at my own pace

I am now letting go of perfectionism at my own pace. Up until now, I was pressuring myself to overcome it. Defining how that’s supposed to look subconsciously set a sense of urgency internally. This was another way my desire for perfectionism was manifesting. A few days ago, I spent a whole day just wanting to sleep, listened to music, read, cried, and released the tension that had built up…
