Change Does Me Good
Hey guys,
I’m really grateful for those who are engaged with my blog. I continue to evolve and a couple months ago, I changed the name of my blog to something that encompasses how humor and sarcasm and has been part of my healing process. I miss the old name. It was really lovely. But this new name better encompasses my journey.
I became a certified yoga instructor in 2010, been practicing mindfulness since a year or so before then. I thought I had made it—found the answer to my happiness. Then I got injuries and couldn’t teach or do yoga for a while on and off, and I saw that yoga wasn’t the answer. It was part of it, for sure, but not the only part.
I have loved comedy my entire life. I did a lot of funny, creative stuff in elementary school and then it just gave way to me becoming a really focused student in high school and beyond.
I’ve been stuffing my feelings down as long as I can remember.
I’ve gotten really good at suppressing my feelings.
I’m also really good at telling myself I don’t deserve to feel a certain feeling and just pushing through.
I’ve been working on validating my feelings in recent years.
It shows in how I relate to myself, to others around me, to my circumstances. It shows in how in my relationships. Of course old ways of being pop of from time to time (and from time to time, I mean, sometimes, pretty darn often).
I’ve gained a lot of new awarenesses in recent years. And it’s manifesting in what I want to say and how I want to say it.
Recently, I was consulting with someone who made me feel disempowered. I realized that I had a choice and could choose a different person to consult with.
Sometimes we don’t have a choice. Sometimes we do have options.
As I am evolving, I make different choices to match my current self. Rather than grandfather in old choices/circumstances/relationships.
There doesn’t have to be guilt in letting go of what no longer serves you.
