freeing

Is taking photos of your child while in only underwear, naked or sleeping normal?? amongst other things — for context, my mother was abusive, though she was never physically sexually abusive or physically abusive, i'm away from her now and im older, also I am a woman for context, when I was from like 5 to…

I'm letting her keep about 80% of "the stuff" from our house, and it feels great to lighten my load. Can anyone relate? — I'm giving her most of the furniture, and the dishes, appliances, and whatever, and it feels freeing. I suppose it's going to cost me at some point to replace some of that, but I really like the light…

Increased self-loathing — So far what I've read about codependency makes me loathe myself even more. Whereas before I felt frustrated by my partner's chaos and how I was always getting dragged into it, now I feel like all the …

It Was Always About You — I thought I would share an experience I had a while ago that really changed my understanding of Neville’s teachings and manifestation in general. **How it started** In 2022 I was very into occultism…

Spring Cleaning and Change — Currently, the biggest benefit for me since the new year has been discarding items. I've gotten into a bad habit of stockpiling possessions in one room and eventually thinking I would take action on t…

The Astral Plane: its Nature, Structure, and the Unseen’s Map found in world religions — *Disclaimer: The views expressed here are my personal opinions, except where excerpts are quoted.* # Nature of the Astral Plane The Astral Plane is the wider dream world. It’s a constant place that …

My mom cheated. She refuses to understand why we are upset at her — # Trigger warning for suicidal content My mom cheated. Looking back, I’m not entirely sure I’m surprised that she did, but I was still so shocked when I got the news. For most of my adult life, my …

Wave II Focus 12 experience — So I've been debating posting about this or even talking about this, but after finding this subreddit and reading some posts I see I'm not the only one to experience this. I started Wave II after doin…

Reflection on Giving Up Instagram & Tiktok For Lent. — Wasn't sure where to post this, just wanted to share what I observed in myself, and my habits. For some who may not know Lent is a period in the Catholic religion's. It reflects Jesus' 40 days of …

Wanting love again — I (29F) stayed single most of my life, focusing on my education, career and life experiences. While I wasnt commitment phobic or anything, I always felt like romance would take away my freedom so I ne…

Help - Waking up in my WR but can't stay awake long enough and end up waking up back here again — So as the title states, for the past 2 days I've been waking up briefly in my WR then falling back asleep and ending up here again. The first time it happened I didn't see my surroundings properly bec…

Has anyone else noticed that most of the beliefs running their life were never actually chosen? — I’ve been auditing mine lately and it’s been unsettling — but also kind of freeing. Things like “money won’t make you happy,” “don’t be lazy,” “don’t show off” — I never decided to believe any of tha…

My Story — Hi guys! Sorry about the length of this, I just needed to rant. Feel free to give advice on any of this, I’m still learning.  Starting at about 5, I can remember my biggest concern being about maki…

Thank you lol, those who don't want to focus on the Bible aspect don't have to. Just use it practically, that's it. But the Bible knowledge he spread is extremely important and freeing for those who b…

No contact is NOT about getting the ex back! It’s about truly moving on, breaking free mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It’s about freeing yourself and truly letting go. It’s not meant to be a …

Yes, but since you can subconconciously know something and consciously think something else we see that your non lob thoughts doesn't matter.. See the post "concious thoughts don't matter" and it's su…

If the design agency’s holding you back and the other biz is growing faster and making more, it’s probably time to sell. You’re getting a solid offer and freeing up time to go all-in on what’s workin…

i've been there! it can be really freeing and fascinating, especially when you have secure people in your life who accept your quirks and understand this is a natural phase, who also have strong bound…

I've recently discovered attachment styles. Recognize myself as anxious immediately. The initial discovery felt freeing. Everything made sense all of a sudden I thought my avoidant wife would dive int…

What I'm going to say is not going to sound intuitive at all and is going to be scary, but it's honestly one of the practices and shifts I made that has led me to being secure. It took a lot of therap…

I haven’t read everyone’s comments, so idk what they said, but I have had kidney stones more than once— I’ve even had full blown surgery under general anesthesia for one (usually they are able to just…

No I know, the fact it’s entirely on him is freeing but also shit 😭 I’ve done a lot of self-reflecting and realised my limits (I’d hit them as it turns out, my behaviour was massively guarded and sel…

Detachment or Anxiously Slipping? I was in and on again off again relationship for long while. Neither of us had a lot of experience in relationships before the other, despite being in our late 20’s,…

Thank you so much! It can be such a small, but scary step to make. "Woah, here I am again, but now with confidence and knowledge to step away before this blows up. Am I actually going to do it?" It'…

Wow, what huge successes! That 4th point sounds like something I really want to develop. I get so affected by other people's passive aggression and negative behaviors (behaviors I used to do all the t…

You don’t owe unconditional love to anyone. Just like no one owes it to you. Acknowledging this has been very freeing to me.

Exposure therapy is going to be key for most people, in my opinion. I have OCD and I learned through treatment that for anyone with anxiety/OCD you have to learn how to tolerate discomfort. Now I don’…

totally. right now I don't really think beyond "am I enjoying myself with this person, and would I like to see them again." in a way it's pretty freeing

So her book is focused on anxiety as a whole not just romantic relationships (she has a portion on RR at the very end)  Idk it’s been freeing and I have OCD, so when I feel that triggered based on so…

I’ve been working on part of myself that is judgmental towards other relationships. Instead of thinking “how could *that* guy manage?!” I think “well they’re probably happy and I’m not in a relations…

For me, I think that truly coming to terms with this has been more freeing than upsetting. At least lately, at my big age of 36 YO 😆 Luckily though, I guess I haven’t blown my life up and done irre…

Calling out and giving back blame to abusers is the opposite of victim mindset. This takes courage and is empowering, freeing up the energy that is bound in the secrecy of the truth. Real forgiveness …

Fair. I personally hope that you can either finish your email and never send it; or turn your pain into something creative. I did that once and it was so healing and freeing. I felt my feelings throug…

When your mom moves, it will definitely be an adjustment at first. Discomfort means growth! So just lean into the discomfort and realize that this is your time to grow into an independent adult. Thi…

Honestly, I think you need to tell some people close to you. For one thing, they can help you get through the shock, and can remind you that this tough, painful lesson will make you wiser and stronger…

Your brain is trying to trick you. We tend to look back with love and understanding. Your nex isn't capable of either of these emotions. I understand. It will pass. The good memories will fade, and re…

Same. My ex took very little with him. Little did I know it's because he was planning to move in with his now-wife. So I was the one who had to deal with 24 years of crap while downsizing to a smaller…

Yes. I broke no contact but now I don’t have the agonizing “what if”. It’s freeing! Live your life!

Im currently at the 5 year point in my relationship (we are both 26) and at our 3 year point I was faced with the exact same dilemma. I’ll warn you, it’s not an easy path but for me it was so worth it…

Me too. Lost 75ish lbs so far and in a size 4, same age as you. No skin removal surgery for me because I had two major surgeries last year and don’t want another one. I’m just out here raw-dogging lif…

No problem! I think that's what this is for, making us all feel a little less alone, and it's so helpful to see the patterns that other people have experienced to from their shitty spouses. Sounds lik…

I did. I tried to stay and fix things first, but it became clear to me that I was miserable, and that staying would have continued to be awful for my mental health. It sucked. I felt guilty and terri…

>What has been your favorite experience so far, if you don’t mind sharing? My favourite? I think that would be hard to pick? Probably, when I shifted and I wass deer, sounds strange but it was so fr…

I am happy for you! Along those same lines is, “It’s okay for them to be wrong about me.” So freeing.

Wow, I really like that. ‘It’s okay for them to be wrong about me’ feels like such a freeing way to put it. Thank you for sharing that.

Yeah the anger she shows will mess with her head 24/7. Forgiveness… no matter how deep it hurts is freeing.

Yes, exactly. That awareness of “I AM” is really the foundation of all of this. Before any identity, story, past, or future, there is simply the awareness that I am. Neville talked about this often, …

Another day and time , I happy to share the Brst Silva Mind Method, simple exercises, mental training in a relaxed state , learning to hold on to Alpha, with awareness for the purpose of receiving ans…

Same situation, but married 10 years. After my wife’s first affair, we both wanted to reconcile and spent a year in marriage counseling and individual therapy. Thought we were on our way back when I c…

"I don't. Wishing you all the best and hope your family is doing well. Good bye."  This response may seem cold, but I told her clearly in the past if she leaves me for another guy I'm moving forward.…

This. As awful as this miscarriage was, sometimes the worst things we go through can turn into our most freeing moments. You aren’t tied to him- you won’t have to coparent with him. You are free to le…

I lived practically the same routine for the same amount of years except waaaaaay more breakups. I’ve been free for 7 months now and I’m amazed by how freeing life feels now. I was on many anti anxi…

I am over 40 and actively part of the dating scene. Why are you so offended by the fact that sex workers exist? We are people. We are everywhere. I know I’m not the one in this sub. Am I not allowed …

That’s a reductive mischaracterization of Kessler’s work that appears to almost deliberately misunderstand it — even to dismiss the field of psychology as a whole. I’m not seeing how the added comple…

That's been the past year for me, unfortunately. What happened was that I felt restricted. Relationship stuff started feeling like an obligation and it feels like the relationship is taking more fro…

You got some good advice in this thread. On a practical level the best thing I can tell you is to budget your money so you never have to worry about whether you can afford something or not: all your e…

i’m not sure if this will help. probably sometimes it will and sometimes it won’t. but being that she brutally ignored u and has another man i think you should take that as motivation - she doesn’t wa…

ABUSE AND MEDICAL TRAUMA TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ My mom is a diagnosed ASPD psychopath [and of course a narcissist] with FDIA (aka munchausens by proxy) and had me almost killed (we’re talking almost had …

Just read this and wanted to reply, because I actually suffered from OCD for a long time and made it vanish almost completely after recognizing and then treating it as something I had manifested. I sa…

>2 weeks later I was new. I felt myself upgrade to a brand new self concept, a new way of living I really feel everything you said in your post. Recently I've gone through the same. Since I got into …

Rollerblading / rollerskating is the most freeing I've felt in a long time 💕

Locking in on not stalking is so freeing - and so hard. Cheering you on 🫶🏼✨
