Living In Real Spaces Gives Room For Growth

Folks believe a method for dealing with unhealthy thoughts is to stop thinking that way. Kinda shut it off like a light switch. There’s an issue with flipping the switch.

The lowdown dirty fact is flipping the switch doesn’t honor how you feel in the moment.

You feel something harmful from a current or past experience. Then, thoughts and beliefs come up around this moment. You try to reset your mind.

How many times have you been told this is the correct thing to do?
Overthinking and going down a maladaptive path isn’t good for anyone. However, we’ll also tell you not to dismiss what is really going on. You may be having a dusty moment!

We urge you to coach your way through a hard moment. Naa’ila does it often. She does it out loud, has hand motions and gives herself all she’s got! Yet, she’ll acknowledge she’s upset, sad, angry or hungry. There is no need to suppress how you authentically feel to fake positivity.

Forcing yourself to ignore/suppress emotions that are considered harmful is often because folks are uncomfortable with your unrefined and pure self-expression. An unwanted or harmful belief is real! Don’t ignore it because you’ve been conditioned to believe a natural human response is flawed.

Some moments are sad or have little room for a positive slant. And we’re gonna tell the truth about it.

Did your transmission go out?

Did the school call again?

Are you feeling uptight about the work meeting?

Do you have another sick child up at night?

Any one of these will mean something internally!

Listen to the cues within your body. God gave them to you for a reason.

Question for ya: How do you handle yourself when you have unwanted thoughts or feelings?

See ya soon,

THE HIM and Naa’ila
