It has been many years since I left that abusive relationship. I have spent years in counseling, years beating myself up. Years, repeating their voice in my own head, in my own voice.
The sad thing is, as a child we are told "sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never harm me."
That is a lie.. word can break you down and make you a shell of the person you were before.
They can haunt you.
Now don't get me wrong, this isn't something that happens instantly. It is a long, slow, drawn out process. It starts off simple, a sly, seaming innocent comment here and there, then more and more and before you know it..
You are a boiled Frog 🐸
But the story doesn't have to end there, there is hope and healing! The voices that run around in your head all willy-nilly, like a hamster on a wheel, they can be quietened, the lies can be exposed, healing can take place.
Navigating the landscape of the mind is much like tending to a garden. Just as a gardener nurtures plants, we must cultivate positive thoughts, prune away negativity, and ensure the soil of the mind is rich with self-care. Like flowers need sunlight, our minds thrive on positivity, and by weeding out negativity, we allow the beautiful blooms of our potential to flourish. It's a mindful cultivation, a journey where the seeds of self-reflection grow into the vibrant garden of personal growth.
As your Transformation Coach, together we can work toward, pulling out the weeds of limiting beliefs and lies that have taken root in your mind. Cultivating a new perspective, allowing you to flourish and discover your genuine, authentic self.
Until next time. Be kind to yourself! Practice self-care and don't let someone else define you.
