We tend to believe that hope is a lost cause because we were disappointed too many times by others. Many times to the extreme of allowing us to disappoint ourselves by losing our hope.

We tend to believe that our thoughts and beliefs are our truth and we get to defend them even with screaming them out and making others feel wrong and guilty for not sharing our truth. Our honest truth is part of our soul and not our mind.

The turning point was realizing that conscious awareness often surfaces very physically in the body as a cumulation of symptoms. This is the power of Physical Honesty: true integrity starts with being truthful with ourselves to be truthful and honest with others.

More conscious awareness was also allowing us to have more calm conversation and taking into consideration the need to be more honest with each other and with ourselves. Moreover, the realization came that acceptance to be supported by each other as well as taking care of ourselves to return back to self and feel inner peace to be in better service to each family member as well as others.

The most powerful thing was to recognize that I can give myself grace and forgive myself for all that transpired out of running on autopilot like a robot that didn’t have to deal with emotions. The more graceful and forgiving I was becoming towards myself the deeper understanding was showing up.
