groundsforclarity.medium.com groundsforclarity@protonmail.com We often find ourselves at war within, as if with a separate being of ourselves. What can we do and what steps are necessary to take to break away from this other "self" and how can we confront and break cycles of chronic thinking of the past and the future? How can we keep it together?

groundsforclarity.medium.com groundsforclarity@protonmail.com Any of you or someone you love going through a dark emotional time and struggling and warring within themselves? How does a fresh serving of abandonment sound? Not great. How often have we found ourselves feeling abandoned, psychologically, and emotionally....in a simple exchange, when someone road-rages at you, for example? Or when someone doesn't say thank you. When your parents or siblings or partners....chastise you for making a big deal out of something and tell you to get over it or relax or calm down. This may be for you. It may not. I know all of live with some form of repressed anger which leads to feeling depressed -- small and unable to take up space. We have abandoned ourselves the moment we put others opinions of others above our own.

groundsforclarity.medium.com groundsforclarity@protonmail.com Here, I create another episode in which I self-indulge. Yes. I deserve more love, not less and speaking and sharing my story is the way I practice a healing embrace with my pain. For all of my young adult life, I was taught and shown the advantages to having a long-distance relationship with my pain. It wasn't until after I graduated from college when I was 23 years old when I began to feel confusion, loss and hurt and I really didn't know what to do. After 5 years of consulting google for foods to enhance gut-mind health, researching YouTube on exercise regimes,  reading self-help books, becoming a student of psychotherapy methods and taking pages from others "self-care" books, Nothing fucking worked and I just didn't understand why. True, my relationships gradually began to thin and that just exacerbated my feelings of wanting to ostracize myself. I was a bitch to everyone, I pushed my loved ones and doting friends away and refused to come to terms with my sexuality. Here I am, finally sharing my truths and embracing vulnerability because that is the main way I embrace my pain, is to speak it out and direct, which is what I feel runs against the grain that of which my old habits would have me do. Here's part of my story to keeping my chin up and inviting you all to have hope that things may not get easier when you are in pain, but they can get better. Tune in to learn how to improve your relationship with you pain.

Have you ever stumbled across someone and hearing their story from them sparked something in you that you didn't know you had?  I am talking about something deeper than inspiration. I am talking about the  courage from within to do something that before meeting them you believed was completely out of character for you. I invite you to listen in on what occurred to me over my birthday week and how it sparked in me a lesson that has provided me courage and strength in my purpose, vision and mission to put my life's work into revolutionizing the mental health field of suicide. groundsforclarity.medium.com groundsforclarity@protonmail.com Have questions or a desire to share your story anonymously, publicly or through Grounds For Clarity?

I had one of those soul-connecting conversations today and it didn't feel too pretty. Then, I experienced some reminders, some nudges from lessons I strived and continue to teach others I have soul-connecting conversations with. Bottom line: The truth doesn't hurt you -- you hurt you. 7cups.com is where I went when I didn't have consistent feelings, emotions, guidance or conviction. Helping others revealed to me a lot of the misconceptions, and feelings I harbored toward myself that only I could help myself with. 7cups opened my eyes to what being true to the deeper Being within me, meant. groundsforclarity.medium.com groundsforclarity@protonmail.com Copy and past this link into a separate tab to read and follow along: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kPtTbQ9HNpDgM5EwrrrEHiNdKPigqpQ0qRrMnpSewAA/edit?usp=sharing Episode art: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1366&bih=657&ei=M2W-XZG7MMSr0PEP3I6RgAU&q=war+between+brain+and+heart+&oq=war+between+brain+and+heart+&gs_l=img.3..0i30.1209.4800..4927...0.0..0.108.2100.27j1......0....1..gws-wiz-img.......0j0i8i30j0i24._UGQyb85Da0&ved=0ahUKEwjRoOadp83lAhXEFTQIHVxHBFAQ4dUDCAY&uact=5# Thank you for listening! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/kim-johnson23/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/kim-johnson23/support
