WE298 || We have to preserve ourselves...

Hello everyone, I choose for this edition the 4th proposal of the weekend engagement.

If I have felt disappointed with myself, many times, because I am thinking that being right for me is non-negotiable because I consider that my well-being should not be put on pause,... never, even though the context is complex, and this has to do with beliefs, ideologies, structure.

We all repeat patterns. I talk about repetition and going back over what happens to us, about mistakes made, or events that hook us and frustrate our personal expectations. This applies to everything. It's not something that happens to some, it's not that there are people who repeat patterns, it's THAT IT HAPPENS TO ALL OF US AND WE REPEAT PATTERNS...because we feel that the problems in our life are repeated over and over again and we do not manage to move forward.

I recognize that I am a sensitive person and that is not a weakness, it is a deeper way of experiencing life, feeling that frustrating feeling, perceiving disappointment many times, especially when the things that happen to us do not depend on one, and depositing our illusions in external things can lead to very big disappointments.Has it happened to you? Well, it does to me. What do I do about it? The best thing I do is not to stay on automatic, to stop being so resilient, that gives me empathy, intuition and genuine connection, but it can also be that noise, criticism or overload easily exhaust me.

How did I solve it? well, looking carefully at my perspective still with fear, with anger, sadness about the situation or moment, so that I am doing well or not; doing the exercise of giving words, even to the absence of answers, adding self-care routines. But, acceptance is key to solving part of this dilemma.

And it comes from understanding that not every day is good, that failure, disappointment are also a possibility, and that things will not always turn out the way you expect, nor will people react as we imagine, and if possible, not to stay spinning like clothes in a washing machine or in a dryer and be able to take the next step without getting stuck in the same.

Every disappointment is an opportunity to see something new, learn something different and, finally, we will move from place and be able to ask ourselves if we are learning something from that that is presented to us over and over again. Every day represents new opportunities to write our story, trial and error until one day everything is clear and we choose, leaving common sense to act, and learning... It's like draining our own circumstances and that whirlwind of emotions, without so much drama... Sometimes, when I feel disappointed, I just need a double ice cream, a short break and...
To get on with my life!!!! it's my daily dopamine hit...

Nice day 🌀 Janitze.
