At any given moment we are getting so much information about the state of reality (Am I safe? Am I okay? Am I good enough? Are people trustworthy? Do I belong?) but our brains can only PROCESS a TINY (super tiny) fraction of that information that’s available.
Your brain looks for the information that affirms the preexisting belief.
If your brain/body is tuned to “I’m not safe” your brain will keep affirming that 😔 same with “I’m not good enough / people don’t like me / I don’t belong”
Trauma & toxic stress (either ours or our ancestors) shape our brains in some really challenging ways.
They rob us of our ability to feel safe, to feel like we belong, to feel like we’re okay, that our relationships are okay, that our life is okay.
It’s the brain-body trying to protect itself by scanning through the data to find what’s bad and to protect against it.
AND it is possible to retrain the brain. To feel more free from these incredibly painful beliefs and experiences.
Imagine! If your brain was instead an antenna that picked up the frequency of ease. Of beauty, of pleasure, of ENOUGHNESS, of trust.
Imagine meeting life from THAT lens.
It’s not about spiritually bypassing whats hard, it’s about meeting life in a different way.
It takes practice! And it’s possible 🥹
