Your body isn’t resisting joy.

It’s remembering pain.

And doing its best to protect you from ever feeling it again.

Amen amen amen

This really hit home. When I accomplish challenging tasks, I always seem to get asked to do more challenging (qualitatively and quantitatively more). So, sometimes I pump the breaks as not to become overwhelmed with doing too much.

That is good insight. I can definitely understand having to have strong boundaries. Self care for the win!

y amazing!! Incredible insight.

This excerpt is so meaty

❤️✅ seems the focus is to notice how the mind to body reciprocally psychosomatically creates a trauma-coded ceiling.

“When you’ve lived through loss, betrayal, rejection, or burnout, your nervous system creates emotional bookmarks. That is not fear!!!! It’s created by the minds perception of trauma.

My trauma masks itself in procrastination.

Exactly!!!! “Not because I don’t want it. But because something inside of me whispers:

“This is too much.”

“It’s not safe up here.”

“Last time I felt this… it didn’t end well.”

Like classical conditioning

“ my mind linked the experiences I had with what came after them.”

My Procrastination isn’t about me not being “ambitious, It’s not about my mindset. It’s about protection!!! Wow

“That’s invisible, internal limit that tells your body: “This is as far as we go.” So I stop.

Thinking “Last time I grew, it cost me.” This IS NOT TRUTH!!!!!

Because …..

“now I rise with wisdom, with boundaries, with support.

I don’t owe fear my future.”!!!! Dang!!

HEYYY!!!! I love ❤️ this!!!!
