I have lived out dependency to unhealthy levels in both directions.
I have been so co-dependent that I lost my sense of self, and I have been so independent that I lost all relationships.
Over the years I have allowed myself the gift of doing the shadow work within me and healing the insecurities that brought me to respond in my unbalanced ways.
Part of this work is accepting myself and others as we are in my life at each moment.
When I am responding in my unhealthy ways, I can accept that I am creating an experience I do not prefer. I stop, breathe, reset, and choose a new response to the current experience.
I do not judge the experience as good or bad, right or wrong, I simply acknowledge that my unhealthy response is giving me the outcome I do not prefer, and my new healthy response will give me the result I do prefer.
My daily practices of setting my intentions, meditations, affirmations, and statements of appreciation allow me to obtain and maintain a conscious awareness of my connection to the Divine.
In so doing I am allowed to live in light and Love.
May each of you allow yourself the gift of living in Light and Love.
You are Love and Loved.
