Childhood trauma creates a harsh inner critic. The internalized voices from the dysfunctional home that say: we aren’t good enough, everyone will leave us, and no one cares about how we feel.
Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience.
Between ages 25 and 75, the correlation between age and wisdom is zero.
Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you've lived. It's about the number of lessons you've learned.
Your life is happening RIGHT NOW.
Not this weekend.
Not when you’re finally in a relationship.
Not when you get your dream job.
It’s happening now.
Find joy and happiness in the everyday moments of your life. Start enjoying the present.
Overcoming fears and breaking bad habits is a constant struggle, just when I feel like I've got it all figured out life reminds me that I still have a lot to learn.
"when we go through trauma, trauma compounds on each other.. whether you had a negligent or a neglectful parent.. whether you had someone verbally abusive to you, whether you are a survivor of abuse, whether you experience any sort of trauma in your life, small to large”🙏@AOC
