They say you can't go home again, but that isn't really true when it comes to the painful memories of your past.
Women are here to heal the world, and for you to have everything you need to succeed, the healing must begin individually. When women are being triggered by painful childhood memories, it can effect their mental, physical, financial and spiritual relationships in the present. Painful memories of past experiences can be triggered through smells, sounds, books, songs, movies, another person's story, specific people, experiences and even our environment. Those triggers can take us right back to the event, causing us to relive the experience in the present. When this happens, our mind searches for a reason we feel triggered, because of an emotional response based on what we believe to be true. We try to tell ourselves things like, "It's in the past, let it go, I should be over this, what's wrong with me" and we even use those experiences to convince ourselves that we are inferior in some way. Your convictions about not being smart enough, educated enough, talented enough, worthy enough, or that you are inferior in some way can be so deeply rooted in what you believe about yourself that it becomes part of your identity. How can we heal the world when we resist the healing that must take place within each of us first? One day something will happen and you will think, "Wow, I can't believe I was able to do that, I always thought that was something I'd never be able to accomplish." That's all it takes, one time to accomplish something you never thought possible and then you'll start asking yourself, "if I can do that, I wonder what else I can do!" And that's when the fear sets in. Fear sets in because you start wanting more and your "wants" are accompanied by your limiting beliefs that you can't have it, accomplish it or that it's impossible because of your fear based beliefs! This is why many coaches will tell you, "if your goal doesn't scare you, it's not big enough." Give yourself permission to think outside of your "known zone" (that part of your thinking process that's always made choices based on what you believe to be true). Allow yourself to stretch beyond your limiting beliefs, your perceived limitations and the story you use to convince yourself that what you really want is only possible for others! Women are here to heal the world; if you're open to being part of the healing process, what one belief are you willing to master to heal the painful memories of your past so you can stop being limited by your outdated, worn out, limiting and negative beliefs about who you are and what you're capable of?

The sensei picked up the teapot and began to pour tea into one of the cups.
When the cup was full, she kept pouring and soon tea was running down the sides of the cup and into the tray. The student pointed to the cup and said, “Stop, can’t you see the cup is full and no more will go in?” The sensei smiled and said, “Like this cup, your mind is full of what you believe and don’t believe. Before you can learn more, you must empty your cup to make room. |
Every reflection in the Attic Journal is an invitation to notice the beliefs, identities, and stories quietly shaping our experience. Not to fix them... but to see them clearly. Because what is seen through awareness no longer has to be carried unconsciously.
If today's reflection resonated with you, I'd love to continue the conversation.
Join us in the Dojo for weekly explorations into awareness, or take the next step by entering the attic yourself.

Attic: A metaphor for the mind where memories, beliefs, identities, and stories are stored.
Awareness doesn't clear the attic by force.
It simply remembers it was never confined by it.
