HOW TO SUPPORT YOURSELF?

How can you support yourself in this?
Find a place, a group, a teacher/coach that you feel:
1. A bit uncomfortable because it is all new and you don’t know what to expect, but at the same time you are willing to find it out, your desire to grow is just a little bigger than your fear.
2. A bit comfortable because you are surrounded in with people from the LGBTQIA+ community that in some way can relate, do understand or at least are willing to listen and hear your struggles and/or longings.

WHAT TO DO?

What can you do?
If we agree that some of our old ways of behaving, responding, making choices don’t work anymore, we can also agree that we have to find and integrate new ways. To find those ways it will be good to go in a new environment with new people trying new things… Oops! When there is a lot NEW our survival mechanisms are very alert! Lack of trust and the need of protection can stand in our way to explore the new.

WHO’S KNOCKING?

Our essence is knocking at the door!
These ways of protecting (so called survival mechanisms) are deeply programmed in our body, more than in our brain. At some point in our lives the mechanisms / patterns that protected us in the past are working against us today. Meaning that if we are depressed, scared, stressed, lost, strong need for short-time fulfillments (food, drugs, s*x, attention, “likes”) we have to read them as signs that we need some change. Our essence, or our inner adult, our true-self, or whatever name you want to give it, knocks on the door in these kinds of ways. It’s trying to tell us to move on to the next level.

YOU NOW KWHAT THIS IS ABOUT

Yes, you know/feel what this is about!
If you can be true to yourself, you know which parts in your life are doing well and which ones need some change. As a child we learned to take care of ourselves by focusing, seeing, and experiencing more what went well than what was difficult or painful. It was a good thing for protection, because we simply were not able to change anything… we were children, depending on the adults around us.

Hi Community!

1️⃣
Pride over? Holidays over?
Let’s get some s**t done!

2️⃣
There are 2 levels we (LGBTQIA+’ers) have to work on:
- Collective 👉 social (political, educational, etc)
- Individual 👉 personal (behavioral, emotional, etc)

3️⃣
We need to work on individual changes to have more impact on the collective changes.
We need to work on an individual level, so we experience ourselves how hard it is to change, to grow, to move on to a new perspective.
We need to work on an individual level to try out new ways of thinking and to give it a chance to make our decisions in another way than we did before.

4️⃣
If we work on our own s**t, we connect more with our essence and we have a clearer view of what the direction we want to go.
If we work on our own s**t, we get healthier relationships (partner, family, children, colleagues)
If we work on our own s**t, we gain courage and self confidence. We become more effective in all layers of our live.

5️⃣
Are you in for it?
Let’s go! Let’s give it a try!

Love,
Job
