Hi Chi, I am glad that you were able to lighten up by watching a funny movie. Thank you for the reminder to remembering that I can choose to have fun as I create Authentic Power.

In your sharing I was wondering, I thought I may noticed something that may have been a frightened part of your personality. I am curious, when you chose to watch the movie, what was your intention for watching? Did you watch so that you didn’t have to feel the pain of the FP that was active? Did you watch to please your husband because he was uncomfortable with your sitting with the pain of the frightened part? I am curious about the part of you that was reluctant to choose a movie.

I ask because sometimes when I watch a movie when I have a strong, painful, frightened part of my personality active, its often a way to distract myself from feeling what is really going on so I don’t have to feel or focus on what is happening with me in that moment. I have had times when I watched movies with my husband to please him and to spend time with him when it was something that I really didn’t want to do which created distance that I was unaware of. Other times I watch a funny movies as a way to challenge that frightened part that does not want me to experience joy and happiness.

Namaste,
Pamela
