"Sometimes people don't want to
hear the truth because they don't
want their illusions destroyed."

Frederick Nietzsche

What’s your “why”?

Apparently it’s mental health day today 🧠🫀

We go through a lot and it's clear that caring for our mental and emotional health is necessary.

It all begins with awareness. Observation. Stepping back just enough to know that we are NOT our anxiety. Our depression. Our fears.

The journey is about unwinding our false stories and consciously creating something healthier and more beautiful.

IFS is such a powerful tool for understanding and integrating different parts of ourselves:

“The mind tends to be subdivided into an indeterminate number of subpersonalities or parts.

Everyone has a Self, and the Self can and should lead the individual's internal system.

The non-extreme intention of each part is something positive for the individual. There are no "bad" parts, and the goal of therapy is not to eliminate parts but instead to help them find their non-extreme roles.

As we develop, our parts develop and form a complex system of interactions among themselves; therefore, systems theory can be applied to the internal system. When the system is reorganized, parts can change rapidly.

Changes in the internal system will affect changes in the external system and vice versa.” - IFS Institute

The term cynic derives from Ancient Greek κυνικός (kynikos) 'dog-like' and κύων (kyôn) 'dog' (genitive: kynos).

Asking for help is a skill to learn especially when you’ve developed hyper independence as a result of early experiences.

Allowing others to contribute to your life is an exercise of releasing control and being comfortable with the unknown result of that. Slowly but surely 🐾

We spend most of our time in our heads telling ourselves stories based on beliefs we inherited and constructed between the ages of 0-7.

Becoming aware of this + getting to know how emotions feel in the body, learning to regulate the nervous system and tapping into authentic discernment is liberating work.

Polyvagal Theory - all about the nervous system (an internal comms center, sending messages between our brain and body)

The nervous system has three main states, like traffic lights, that affect how we feel and react to things around us:

🚦Green light (Ventral Vagal): we feel safe, relaxed, and ready to connect with others. Mind is clear, we can think and communicate well.

🚦Yellow light (Sympathetic): body is revving up to either fight or run away when faced with a challenge. Body's getting ready for action (no, not that kind)

🚦Red light (Dorsal Vagal): body might feel like freezing up, disassociating, shutting down when things get too overwhelming.

Before making decisions, evaluating relationships, or any other significant steps, making sure the nervous system is in a green light state is so imp.

Making choices from a place of understanding and stability, instead of reacting impulsively is such an upgrade ✅

The whole thing about fear is that it doesn’t want to feel itself.
