I might not vote for RFK but maybe I'll believe in God.... you're an influencer Leah! Also a whole post on letting go please. And changing thoughts. I've found both of those actions supremely challenging. My latest tool is to speak the painful truth of it and then add, "and I love that about myself," for instance, "I make up stories that everyone hates my guts and I love that about myself!" This is a form of radical self-acceptance that actually works a little despite the cheesiness. As for self-hatred, shame, unworthiness, yes yes and yes. A life's work. Acting as if I believe in God, a concept I stole from JP, also helps a lot. I'm in your hands and I trust you, I say, when stepping into the terrifying unknown. Gonna give that episode with Tammy a listen. Looking forward to more posts!

“The point of power is always in the present moment”. Well stated and a great reminder. And that statement got me thinking, why does that resonate as true for me? I think, partly because the point of power in the present moment is based on the spiritual reality given to us from the Lord, of our human ability to choose our response to any given feeling that may come up at any given moment. The power is, at least in part, because we are blessed with the power of choice in our response.
