This is an image I save from nearly a decade ago. Exploration is not a choice, but rather an imperative. I believe it's an imperative that is as inate to us as breathing. You see it with children and puppies and their infinite curiosity (to where it borders self preservation). It is our nature to desire to see, know, feel and experience MORE!! In order to follow this innate curiosity it's important that we bring a level of intentionality and structrue to that exploration, to ensure that we not only find what we want to find, but experience the path on the way TO IT the way we ALSO want to. Let's explore. Let's explore intentionally. Let's explore collectively. Let's explore with purpose. For the good of all! STARTING WITH YOURSELF FIRST!

If you're 'struggling' on the path to self understanding and healing, chances are you probably aren't getting to where you want to go. At least not fast enough. Real, deep healing takes place in moments of peace and calm when your mind and body are open to reconfiguration. That's what healing is in many way, reconfiguring ourselves to support Truth rather than falshoods. Falsehoods like "I'm not enough" or "I'm unloveable". These falshoods cloud our lense of perception when we perceive ourselves and the world around us. These are the falsehoods that are asking us for dismantling and reconfiguration.

If you're like me then you have an incredibly critical and judgemental part of your Self that is CONSTANTLY, analyzing yourself and all the things shameful (wrong, bad, broken, not enough & too much about you). If you're also like me, then this part has helped you grow, accomplish and achieve things that most people don't/can't. However it has also reached it's also taken you as far as it can and it's time for a new part to dominate the lense of perception through which you view yourself and your Life. It may have gotten you to where you ARE but in order to get to where you want to go, it's time to CONFRONT (Face) this part and understand what it's purpose is, what it needs, and what it will take for them to step down and allow a NEW part to dominate your lense of perception. Get intimate, ask questions, create safety for this part, and develop a sense of Trust between your Self and it so it feels safe enough to step down from it's leadership post and allow a more accepting, caring and nurturing part to step forward and lead you from here.
