THE POLLYANNA PRINCIPLE
The only way to see in a dark room is by bringing light into it. Even the smallest spark will light your way - because the light is always stronger than the dark. The children’s story “Pollyanna”, tells the tale of a young girl who chooses to see the positive and good in every person and every situation, thus transforming everyone around her. She embodied the Divine Child archetype, the powerful spiritual energy of innocence and positive denial. Negative denial says “no” to the problem by pretending it isn’t there thereby making it worse. Positive denial says “no” to the problem not by being blind to it but by choosing to see the perfect order and harmony that exists beyond or beneath it through the recognition that only love is real.

The “you” witnessing and observing from above, with non-judgement and love, is not the “you” stuck in a distressing emotion.
The moment we shift into the “in the now” present moment observer, we are no longer bulldozed by our emotions. Instead, we begin to develop a friendly, accepting, and non-judgemental attitude toward all of our parts, recognizing them, and embracing them with love and compassion.
That is powerful.

One common aspect of the human experience is a recurring feeling of emptiness, a sense of lacking or void.
It might be reassuring to know that we are not alone in feeling this way sometimes.
But so often we seek to fill this emptiness with things from outside of us that we think are going to soothe us (relationships, food, drugs, shopping, alcohol, s*x, etc.) only to feel empty and void again.
The only two things that will heal our sense of emptiness are our connection with ourselves and our spiritual connection.
In other words, love.
Self love and Divine love.
Love from within and love from above.

How much we feel we matter to important people in our lives (our Relational Value) has a direct correlation to our level of positive self-esteem. Sometimes we avoid letting others know that they matter, that they are needed and important, because we are afraid of appearing weak, vulnerable, or overly dependent. But if someone is important to you, it is best to let them know. Perhaps that is just what they need to hear to feel valued, and that their lives have purpose.

When trauma occurs, the memory often gets “frozen” in our bodies and we are unable to process it properly; it then remains ever present and any trigger takes us right back to all the negative emotions of that memory as if it were happening today. Will power has nothing to do with this, it is a neuropsychological response. Many people go through their entire lives re-living the painful past and feeling hopeless about their inability to let it go. Friends and family often do not understand why they are “stuck” there, adding shame to the already existing pain they feel. You can heal. You can heal for the last time. You do not need to carry the painful past forever. You can allow your body, and brain, and energy to move forward and you can be free.

BEYOND TIREDNESS
A caretaker gives his or her energy in one of four ways: physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. Most of the time we give from one of those resources, maybe from two. But when we give from all four, we afterwards experience a level of complete and heavy b***d exhaustion that is indescribable.
It is an honor to care for those we love when they need us. But we need to carve out a space for ourselves to cry, crumble, replenish and refuel.
Take care of yourself, dear one, even angels need their rest.

A true marriage is freedom within unwavering commitment. No one is bound to us who does not freely choose to remain by our side because they feel loved, valued, and appreciated. Love is a magnet, not a yoke, that attracts through the grace of tenderness, kindness, laughter, and celebrating the differences and championing the gifts and the dreams of our loved one.

Every time that we purposefully pay attention to the positives in our lives and “take them in,” we create new neural pathways that strengthen our ability to focus on them.
Since “energy flows where attention goes,” the more we train our minds to focus on what is possible, happy, and good, the more good we will attract.

The foundation of love is safety.

We need to feel safe in order to lower our guard, allow ourselves to be vulnerable, and be truly ourselves with another person.

This is not something that most people do easily, but once we feel we have found safe haven in another’s arms, once we know we can trust them and feel seen, heard, and fully accepted, it is a loving connection we celebrate and cherish above all else.

But safety is fragile. A harsh word, a mean tone, a cruel remark, a criticism, a broken promise, or even a roll of the eyes can send us running back to our fortress and put our wall of defenses up.

This is why, learning to become a safe person is one of the hardest and most important things we can do if we want to have a happy, healthy, and long lasting relationship.

This then is the first intention, the first step, and the first vow in any relationship, to work at being a safe haven for one another.

All of the time.

In our relationship with ourselves the key question becomes not “what within me must I fight?” but “what within me must I understand, forgive, and love?”

THE DARK ROOM
Imagine that we are all in a dark room. We stumble our way through this darkness, stepping on each other’s toes and bumping into each other as we try to navigate the space. But, for just one moment, a bright light illuminates the space and you’re able to see the full layout of the room as well as where the others are.
You got lucky.
Those who were sleeping, yawning, or even blinking at that particular moment missed the moment of clarity and are just as much in the dark now as you were a second ago.
Now when someone bumps into you, you notice a shift in your reaction and you respond with understanding, grace, and compassion. Your anger is gone. You understand that they simply haven’t seen the room yet.
Life is very much like this room. Those who see must be the peacemakers and the compassionate guides for those who cannot see.
(Adapted from Rev. Michael Beckwith)
