Journal prompts-
The feelings that came up were around self doubt, lack of faith in self. The second thing was I can do this. Then the 3rd was OMG you look cross eyed Luke, you cannot post that video.
The stories which came up in my mind was the challenges I had faced when I was younger. When pushing Tim into new boundaries I’ve always doubted myself because of the words I heard for many years.
“You won’t amount to anything” “shut up you haven’t a clue” “you do more damage then good”
I can counter these thoughts but there is still restriction and influence I allow these to place. I don’t allow it to hold me back forever, but it does for a short time where I could actually be doing what I want.
I get worried I won’t look or say the right thing and that can overwhelm me anya time due to having a background with bipolar, borderline personality disorder, ADHD and PTSD. But I also know that makes me perfect to use myself as examples of what you can change and learn about self..
My letter to self.
You are a completely different person to what any of them will ever know. You’ve took away all your excuses to push yourself through and past all previous comfort zones and now you’re living the best way you ever have. 10 year old lukey, 16 year old lukey and 22 year old Luke are all so proud. You didn’t believe you would ever make it this far…but you have and I love you for that.
You’ve faced every challenge with openness and won each time don’t allow any other obstruction to keep you from the experiences you seek. And because no one may say it. I love you Luke 💙
