Thank you for this.

I’m really hung up on a few stuff-triggering things at the moment and even reading your list made me feel a lot better.

Oof yes. Step 5 is so hard. We’re most often conditioned to avoid step five, like the plague, so slowing down to be there and meet yourself where you are is hard.

It is where I have been for the past few weeks because an event triggered HUGE amounts of my stuff to come up and boy! Have I ever wanted to squirm away from it.

At the same time, by letting myself feel this stuff, it’s as if I’ve been unfolding myself and stretching into a new skin. Slowly, bit by bit, crease by crease I feel as if I’m filling myself and learning to be who I am. This is why step 5 is so important to me. It helps me to let go of what I don’t want or need.

Lovely post, real, clear and honest. Thank you

@Sarah ~ I am so with you, I can always see their point and gosh it’s infuriating. And I always want to ignore step five, but then I never get to the place where their point becomes sort of irrelevant. Which is kinda the sweet spot. Oh, because the those teeny, tiny naggy bits suck.

@Eileen ~ Love to you my dear, thanks for being part of it.

Oooh, step 5. Painful and beautiful at the same time. What a great honest description of your process. *Love*

I didn’t even know there WAS a step five! I’ve probably got a lot of things that are bothering me in teeny, tiny, nagging ways forever. Yikes!

My problem is definitely #4. I can see their point. I HATE being able to see everybody’s point. So frustrating, yet such a huge part of who I am. I have a friend who has tunnel vision when it comes to people. The people she knows and loves…those are the people that she empathizes with. Only those. Everyone else is just a generic cut-out of a person, I guess.

Maybe not the best, most heart-felt way to be, but it sure would make things easier.
