Being able to pursue our goals and achieve them is a privilege.

When our central nervous system is well-regulated, achieving our goals is easier.

We can’t meet our potential in the fight-or-flight stage; it takes too much energy to survive while trying to bring our vision to life.

Sometimes, our goals require our body to rest, a little therapy, some grounding, nervous system regulation, and voila! The fog clears, the body opens up, and you have permission to dream, pursue, and achieve!

It’s been more than 6 months now, and I’m very proud of myself! How about you? #614

Just because you weren’t allowed to have emotions growing up doesn’t mean you didn’t have them. You simply learned to suppress them. Suppression of your feelings was necessary for your survival because expressing or feeling your emotions wasn’t safe. I want to remind you that your feelings matter, you matter!

A living plant instinctively knows to move towards the sun to flourish. A dying plant has a similar instinct, but it tends to put its energy towards survival rather than flourishing. A dead plant can’t flourish or do what it needs to grow or survive.

How would you categorize yourself if you were a plant? I want to challenge you to be “awake” and alive in your own life. What’s happened to you is merely a part of your story, and there’s an opportunity in life to create more stories and chapters. You can have a chapter in your book about hurt and betrayal and chapters about overcoming and thriving. The latter requires you to be awake and alive to be the author of your own story. If you need help with how to do that, I’m here. Please send me a message so I can help you with the resources.

My philosophy about suffering and resilience has evolved. I come from a culture (African and Christian) that often rushes to provide explanations about why bad things happen or moves quickly to give the lesson on how the bad experiences are for a good purpose.

The longer I’ve lived, experienced suffering in my own life, and walked alongside folks who have experienced the worst sufferings and traumas you can imagine, I’ve seen things differently.

We are sometimes too quick to give hope when only validation is required.

We want to give people what we think they want instead of what they need.

So before you speak about how someone is experiencing loss, grief, pain, suffering, and trauma, ask yourself: Is this advice for me or the person in front of me? Does this make that person feel seen and heard, or does it dismiss their feelings and experiences?

As a therapist for many years, I learned to give people room to make meaning of the sufferings they’ve experienced, and I’ve also learned to sit with clients when no sense can be found. I’ve learned we don’t need to rush to make “positive meaning” out of terrible experiences. Sometimes bad things happen; it doesn’t make sense, is unfair, and has no meaning! And the pain of that suffering reverberates in our cells, impacting how we see ourselves and the world. We long for the days of naivety because the suffering broke us. Yes, we can carry that brokenness and allow it to make us more empathic and less judgmental, but those traumas aren’t always worth the change or what we now call resilience. Often, we paint resilience with a broad brush as an overall positive thing, forgetting that suffering and trauma can be so powerful that they encode themselves into our DNA, changing us and our offspring. It is ok to say this sucks, we don’t know, it’s terrible, I’m sorry. Validate people’s experiences without rushing to get them to the lesson and the resilience they’ll build. What are your thoughts about resilience?

The willingness to accept the consequences of setting boundaries is a measure of growth. Set the boundaries, accept the consequences, and grow! When you set boundaries, people will likely push back, and you will experience discomfort. Your response to that discomfort is where your potential for growth lies. Do you have difficulty setting boundaries or accepting the consequences of setting boundaries?

Generosity without boundaries equals self-depletion. You can be generous without depleting yourself. You're responsible for the cup from which you pour. Keep an eye on it so you don’t pour from an empty cup. Pouring from an empty cup is generosity without boundaries.

You’re responsible for your healing. It is the path to your wholeness and getting your power back. You can’t look to the person who hurt you to heal you. Don’t give your power away. You don’t need their apology, change of heart, remorse, or lack thereof. You simply need YOU. Do the work; you’re your best investment!
