In the tapestry of our lives, the threads woven in childhood to protect us can become the knots that bind us in adulthood. 🧵🔗 The fortress of avoidance and escapism, once a sanctuary for a tender heart, may turn into a prison that keeps us from truly living. As children, ducking beneath the waves of confrontation or retreating into our shells might have been our only way to navigate through stormy family dynamics or challenges. 🌊🐚 But carrying these shields into adulthood can shadow us from the warmth of genuine connections and the growth that comes from facing life head-on. ☀️💔 It’s a profound journey of transformation to recognize that the survival tactics of our past may not serve the person we’ve grown to be. 🌱🦋 It requires courage to unlearn these patterns and to stand in the open, ready to embrace life with vulnerability as our new strength. 🛡️➡️💖 This path of healing invites us to shift from avoidance to engagement, from escapism to presence, allowing us to forge deeper connections with ourselves and others. 🤝💞 The work of untangling these knots is not done alone. It unfolds in the safe spaces we create within ourselves and in the compassionate support we find in others. 🔄🤲 If you’re seeking guidance on this path, I’m here to walk with you.

Honestly, for most of my life, I believed I was my thoughts and emotions as I seemed to create them. Understanding that if I can observe my emotion without becoming it and observe a thought without attaching my worth to it, has been a game changer. Awareness is key. FACTS - We all experience thoughts and emotions. - Emotions and thoughts come and go. - Where I place my attention and focus will produce results. Emotionality and positionality are states we create from limiting beliefs. Letting go of the need to control is where the magic happens. Build inner safety by regulating your nervous system, allowing authentic truth to shine. Enhance your emotional intelligence and mental resilience. Let go of the attachment to creating drama and realize you are so much more. I choose how I want to be. I know I am not that... What do you choose to be? #moodmunchers #mindfulness #emotions #emotionalintelligence #mentalresilience #Personalgrowth #awareness #consciousness #consciousparenting #judgement #parenthood #childhood #life #attachment #relationships

Beneath the surface of every adult lies a child—our inner child, carrying the joy, fears, and wounds from our earliest chapters. 🧒💔 These wounds, if left unhealed, cast long shadows over our lives, leading to patterns of self-sabotage that can perplex and hinder us as adults. It’s as though the unattended pains of the child within us pull the strings of our decisions, our relationships, and our self-worth, often without our conscious realization. 🎭🚶♂️ "Heal the boy, and the man will appear." This isn't just a call to mend; it's a promise of transformation. It's an invitation to revisit the inner chambers of our childhood, to hold, heal, and honor the child we once were, and in doing so, liberate the adults we’ve become. 🌟🔑 This journey of healing is profound and pivotal. It requires us to gently unearth the layers of our past, to confront and comfort our inner child with compassion, understanding, and unconditional acceptance. In healing our inner child, we don’t just recover from the past; we unlock a future of emotional freedom, strength, and authenticity. 🌈💪 If you feel called to embark on this healing path, to release the patterns of self-sabotage and step into the fullness of your potential, reach out.

As I was getting ready this morning, I was acknowledging how much I love my body, how I love to care for my body, and recognizing how far I’ve come, as this hasn’t always been the case. My old paradigm before I really dove into the deep healing inner work was … I am not valuable, I am not deserving, I am not good enough, I am not important, I am not worthy of love & care. Not because any of those beliefs are true, but because I believed them to be true, based on the meaning I gave to past memories, events & experiences etched into my nervous system. I didn’t treat myself well because of the programs operating inside of me, when the truth is, I was born worthy and nothing or no one can take that from me once I know it to be true for myself. As I have healed those parts of me who felt unworthy & undeserving, my updated programming & new paradigm allows me to give myself the kindness, love & care that I’ve always deserved, regardless of my circumstances. This is for anyone who hasn’t woken up to the truth of who you really are & hasn’t yet discovered your inherent worth. May you one day know how loved you really are & treat yourself in the highest regard, in the way that you’ve always wanted and deserved ❤️ 🫶🏼, Marci xo #cyclebreakers #selflove #selfworth #selfempowerment #selfhealers #healingjourney #traumahealing #nervoussystem #nervoussystemresilience #nervoussystemregulation #innerchildhealing #selfcare #transitionalcharacter #selfloveadvocate #higherfrequency #higherconsciousness #innerpeace #resilience #energywork #lifecoaching

Story Time: Recently, my child was adamant about not doing a certain activity. But deep down, I knew that this experience and improving at it held invaluable lessons. It wasn't just about the activity – it was about resilience, discipline, and learning to face challenges head-on. So, with a mix of encouragement and a little bit of tough love, this child of mine is doing it. I absolutely let my kids quit activities and sports, but sometimes my discernment tells me they have to stick with something and just need coaching through a rough patch. You know your kid. You can sense when it’s time for then to quit and when you need to rally your kid through whatever their rough patch too. Sometimes letting them quit is the coaching, and you letting go of the thing is what they need to decide if they want it for themselves. Pushing my kid to do this was about teaching them that they are capable of more than they think, that pushing through discomfort leads to growth, and that sometimes the hardest paths lead to the most rewarding destinations. Remember, our kids are more resilient than we sometimes give them credit for. And in those moments of struggle, they often find their greatest strengths. #GrowthMindset #ParentingJourney #ProudParent #SwimTeamSuccess #Resilience #LifeLessons #attachmentparenting #parentingcoach #momofmultiples #twins #mamamultiple #momlife #parentingadvice #parent #newmommy #newmama #mumandbaby #mothering #consciousparent #gentleparenting #raisingconfidentkids #mindfulparenting #raisingtinyhumans #parentingwithawareness

Would you revisit the place of your childhood? 🌟 If you have had a happy childhood, you should   I don't mean the physical place, but the place of your childhood deep inside you. Reconnecting with your childhood can be a beautiful journey of self-discovery and understanding. It's where you are just "YOU," without any layers. It's your natural identity, crafted by nature—a place where your self-identity hasn't been shaped by the world around you.   Remember? in this place, you're filled with curiosity and wonder. You're openly vulnerable, and willing to take risks just to learn more. You embrace new experiences, trusting your instincts completely. Your imagination knows no bounds, and you're willing to dream big. Energy flows through you effortlessly, and inspiration fills your mind without any blocks.   As children, we were often very present in the moment, fully engaged in our activities. If you can practice mindfulness and being present, as you might have done naturally as a child, you can reduce anxiety. It helps by preventing you from getting caught up in worries about the future or regrets about the past.   What if you could revisit this place once in a while? It could help you untangle your anxieties and recharge your energy channels.   I try to visit my place of childhood by escaping the maddening crowds and connecting with Mother Nature. I find a peaceful, quiet place where I can sit and reflect without interruptions. My mind relives the wonder years of my childhood & I start feeling light hearted Allowing your mind to wander back in time can trigger old memories & take you to that happy place of your childhood. I also try to reconnect with childhood friends because the friendships formed in childhood can be incredibly deep and meaningful & without the complexities of adult relationships. It helps me relive the good old days & my anxieties melt away Try spending time every day with your children, if they are still young. It will not only strengthen your bond with them but also provide a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with your own past. This process can be deeply fulfilling and can help you appreciate the journey from your own childhood to parenthood   How do you reconnect with your childhood self? Share your thoughts and let's inspire each other! 🌿✨ #SelfDiscovery #InnerChild #MentalWellness #NatureConnection #Inspiration

Reflecting on school memories can re-energize you in several ways: - **Nostalgia**: Reminiscing about carefree, joyful times can boost your mood and reduce stress. - **Sense of Achievement**: Remembering academic or personal accomplishments can reignite your sense of purpose and confidence. - **Reconnection**: Thinking about old friends and social connections can provide a sense of belonging and support. - **Playfulness**: Recalling playful or fun moments can inspire a more relaxed, playful attitude in the present. - **Perspective**: Revisiting past struggles and successes helps you appreciate your growth and resilience. These positive feelings can provide a mental reset, helping you feel more energized especially when your teachers still remember you. #nostalgia #schoollife #friends #teachers
