Souls  Egos Self esteem All that and more What does being nice have in store Passive aggression Mixed signals Facades Being nice is like beating one's emotions with a rod Yeah Being kind can be a chore for sure But that nice stuff leaves more bruises and scars Being kind takes courage because it's not the intent to please  It's the act of seeing, saying, what is, not simply just what you want it to be… Candyce @p.a.v.e._podcast on Instagram Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/p-a-v-e-podcast/donations

It's in my best interests to focus on what's inside When I focus on what's mine it kindly reminds me of my role. To carry my own load is the goal. I push myself to work through the muck, Trying relentlessly because I despise the idea of being stuck -mentally -emotionally - spiritually - physically I detest it in every way So defeat is not an option  Not a price I’d be willing to pay Differences need not be fixed It's simply the negative reactions to them That must be nixed” C.R.

In this episode I talk about dealing with insecurities and the feeling of lack. Can negative thoughts be reframed into something positive? How can you feed your mind a different narrative? I'll hone in on things that can fill us up and bring us joy and fill our cup. A book that helped me a lot with this “ What to say when you talk to yourself” By Shad Helmstetter, Ph.D. Hit that play button Do you appreciate my content and want to show your support?

I'm impressed, that you don't second guess My request To be brave Open and Self-assured... Because these things are in the forefront My deepest desires are often left unmet, or ignored The smile of confidence The positivity The energy May all look well, good and sound I try to show my whole self when people are around But does no one see what I need? No matter what I do I have yet to succeed Shall I plead to be seen as someone who wants to be reassured? Doted on, held and so much more? Sure… I get tired and weary Sometimes, I don't think quite clearly The void in my being, how can it be filled? I don't know how to fix it, or what even spilled But whatever it is It's made clear to me that it will not be refilled easily… I'll work till I find it I'll fill up my soul I'll work till I find it I will be integrated I will be whole Here is the link that I feel gives the best description of the enneagram and how it works. https://www.enneagraminstitute.com/how-the-enneagram-system-works Here is the link to a FREE enneagram test. https://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/dotest In this fast paced world how does a woman with ADHD find the mental energy and focus to SIT and write you may wonder?...
