After understanding some aspects of my “personality” weren’t anything else than coping mechanisms, I decided to change. . First you have to recognize your mechanisms. When I get stressed, tired, triggered, my reaction is to go to food, relationships, & entertainment (screen time). All these are absolutely positive things when done with a peaceful mindset. But on the other end of the spectrum, they can mean overeating, losing oneself in toxic relationships, and spending hours scrolling on the phone. . If I share this, it’s because we all have these : triggers & coping mechanisms. Often we accept them as part of us, even if they make us suffer. . Until one day we find it in ourselves to stop. The first days are hard, even more when, unlike for cigarettes that you can throw away and never buy again, you still have to live around it - like food or people 😂 . But then it becomes easy... And that’s when it becomes difficult. The “I got this” moment « I am a completely new person” “I’m free” - which often turns into “I can totally have one”... and just like that we’re back at it & we don’t know how we got there. . It goes for “negative” habits as for “positive” ones. I start eating well, meditating daily, moving, living mindfully and I feel amazing. It was so easy!!! I think. It was right here all this time! . So amazing that without realizing it, the “I got this” mentality comes back. I forget to meditate. Go to bed too late. And I still think I feel great... . Until one day I wake up feeling like crap, my very familiar old me. . So - Changing is so easy it’s difficult. . The difference now is that I don’t lose hope, hate myself, or think this is just “me” and there is nothing I can do about it. I lovingly get back to meditating even if a minute. I peacefully go back to bed. I slowly go back to eating foods that make my body happy - without cutting anything out drastically. Without any violence towards myself. Just patience, love. . That’s the practice. Going back. Falling 7 times, getting up 8, with love, until it is our new true nature. . . . . Photo @lehuanoelle Chair @sothebyshome」7月3日 1時09分
