Thanks for sharing Eric. Since going to the retreat, my awareness of how ‘simple’ the love vs fear thing is to categorize how I am feeling or dealing with things has been enlightening. My thoughts today are of how strong my FP can be that am not doing it right, not enough, should have done something better, needed to spend more time with ‘x’, should spent more time posting on APLC….etc. Instead of focusing on how much I love doing what I do, love trying my best, love living with integrity, love the time I can spend with those in my life…etc. It is amazing how much more free and lighter I feel when I focus on the latter. Why can’t I have this positive focus more often? …… So there I go again focusing on what I haven’t done enough instead of just sitting with being grateful I have the awareness of how wonderful the love I have for myself is. Quite the trapeze in my world. Have you ever sat with how love and fear work within your thoughts of self? Much love, Dione

I really enjoyed the topic of stretching today. I have recognized periods of transition of my personality through my life. With each ‘stretch’ I have felt a new level of awareness which takes me closer to my authentic self. It has always been painful mentally and physically but I can now trust that ‘on the other side’ it feels great and I feel joy with my each new state of awareness. Saying that, I still feel quite stuck in my present state of mind and know that I have quite a long journey still ahead of me.
It is amazing to me how I am so willing to stretch to explore and face certain FPs so easily with complete awareness, and yet with other FPs it is so very difficult and my awareness is so low. Perhaps this speaks to the intensity of the FP.
My current ability to challenge the FP which is a people pleaser has gone well. It feels wonderful to see myself after I have worked through the thoughts and physical sensations and chose to challenge those FPs. I know I need to stretch the FP which needs to trust the universe. This has a trickle down effect that affects triggers many FPs in many aspects of my life that deal with control issues and anxiety.
(Changing my name to Stretch Armstrong)….Much love, Dione
