With the 15° weather outside, I can’t help but think about ice. The way it freezes what is normally a fluid state of being makes me stop and wonder about all the time that went by. Trauma is like this. It can freeze you from a natural fluid state of being into a blockade of immobility. Like ice, the thicker it gets over time, the more it pushes everything else aside with great force.
When you choose a true path of trauma recovery, going in depth with it until you begin to see your life turning into something that you never imagined and yet is healthier, more open, trusting, forgiving, and loving is the most fulfilling and joyous route you can take. Allow your path to unfold instead of fighting every little thing. Quit saying “I’m not interested in that” or “I don’t like that”. Give new things a try, because this is part of how to truly discover yourself. This is how healthier people discover themselves. They may go to school or college and take a course that they are just using as a filler course for credits only to discover that they love it. They may work part time at a restaurant and talk with a regular customer about the customers job, discovering that they find these topics to be very interesting though it was something they were never interested in at all, as a matter of fact, they were things that they would have scoffed at at any other time. It’s a process of being open and curious.
Personally, I have allowed this process and will continue to do so. What is trauma recovery about but to find yourself and your happiness and actually live it? It’s about the ice blockade around your heart and brain melting, allowing the fluidity of a healthy life and love to enter. It’s about learning to embrace change and recognizing when your life is calling for it.
I have made the decision to change course. I am choosing what makes me happy. This blog and website will undergo a change. I am releasing the topic of trauma recovery and embracing my artwork. I am going through an incubation period. It would be wonderful to hear from you. Please reach out so I can meet you! We all grow together, it is not a separate event. Chat me! Facebook messenger me! Thank you for being a dedicated reader. I look forward to meeting you and hope you stick around to see what changes are in store.
New things coming…extremely soon.
