I was reading posts on Facebook and one of my 'friends' posted she and and her son have mental health issues. Several offered positive
comments. One person spoke of judgment (the effects) and how all of us are
alike. My reply to the lady who originally posted:
“I
applaud you for being vulnerable and disclosing the 'realness' in your life. In
addition to your courage, it takes confidence that you will be ok even if
everyone decided to shun you. I rejoice in our differences, if we were all the
same we wouldn't come to love and appreciate our differences; subsequently
evolve into a state of acceptance and compassion. Hugs and smiles your
direction.”
The degree of ‘realness’ determines
freedom.
I grew up believing ‘it’s not okay
to air your dirty laundry’. My mother said to me, “When you get old enough I’ll
tell you. What you don’t know doesn’t hurt you and it won’t hurt me.” Inserting
humor here – I never “got old enough” as my mother passed with the ‘dirty
laundry’.
The degree of ‘realness’ determines
freedom.
As we become comfortable with whom
we really are, (including though not exclusive), warts, cellulite, addictions, quirks
– and mental health issues – we accept these are a part of being a ‘normal’ human.
This is freeing!
With a blind eye to those things we
hide there is a price, its freedom.
Most
of us recognize how bad we can feel; sometimes even forgetting what feeling
really good is like. Yes, we can go to the doc and get a prescription and while
sometimes it’s necessary, there are many times we hand over our power and hope for the best while we’re
shelling out the dollars that our insurance doesn’t cover. What if you could help yourself
with a SIMPLE technique, off-setting the need for over the counter drugs and many prescriptions?
Here is a perfect opportunity to develop or deepen your skills writing your own
scripts. I look forward to you joining us; I have no doubt you will be totally
satisfied, it’s guaranteed. If you want to talk with me,
