Cutting
How we refer to ourselves often has a long unexamined history. The adults in our early life prime us to see ourselves in the way they see us, or themselves. This happens consciously and unconsciously, often replicating a familial cycle.
It’s clarifying to examine how we refer to ourselves now. Is this really who we are? Or is this who we think we are because we were primed to see ourselves that way early on?
Although the historical thread might be long, we have the possibility of cutting it.
Have you examined how you refer to yourself in the privacy of your own thoughts?
Yes, I have. I’ve also examined the why behind it. Who has said this to me? How did I feel then? How do I feel now?
Is it time and ok for me to let go of this and allow my true self in?
The cutting is both mentally, physically, and emotionally painful AND exhausting. Leaving us with the ricocheting feeling of something better… something better is waiting for me and if I get past this, if I let go of this, I’ll get to it.
Thank you for your posts. Truly thought provoking.
