Awareness Leads To Solutions

Awareness, is a crucial step towards successful change, and in accepting responsibility for ourselves, our actions, and our life.

This self-discovery comes when we begin to notice a constant repetition and unbalance in our life. It may happen as we hear ourselves making up excuses for others or ourselves over and over, and suddenly we notice that the excuses are always the same. We may notice a feeling of constant uncertainty. Or we may experience a life altering event which makes us feel as if we've hit rock bottom. It comes in many shapes and forms, and however that picture looks like for us, it can only be answered by us.

Some of the experiences may catch us completely off guard, and leave us feeling completely shattered and we question if we can ever get ourselves back up again. For some the awareness and the wake up calls may be a loss, a marriage breakdown, teen age drug abuse, death, or a major illness.

Life can be full of struggles, and the old saying what doesn't kill us makes us stronger, can seem too hard to swallow at times. Yet everything has a purpose, and healing ourselves becomes our responsibility. Forgiving ourselves is what this awareness is truly about, and learning to love ourselves unconditionally.

We all suffer from addictions which are more than what we see on the surface. What we see on the surface are symptoms, or behaviors. Many of these as we become older are well masked. And we find they do play themselves out in our own families, and they do get passed down to our own children, unless we take responsibility to look within.

Most of the addictions we are all aware of look like alcoholics, drug abusers,or bullies. The first two play a part in numbing the pain, and resisting the feelings beneath the surface. There are far more addictions than this, and we all carry them around. Some of us are addicted to guilt, drama, shame, blame, love, and these are just a few. Looking beneath the surface right down to the cause is where this understanding will come in and begin to make sense. What's beneath the surface is where the healing occurs when we understand how the behaviors are a way of keeping us safe. When we understand more about the feelings we resist. All of this can help us begin to see the behavior differently.

Your motivation and desire to take the risk, may come for many reasons.

All it takes is for one person in a relationship to change. One person to see through the ego, and defuse the situation.

Removing the masks, questioning our actions, and self exploration leads to answers and solutions.

Facing our past, moves beyond the story, to making ourselves aware, and making it possible to take action, by understanding and then to forgiveness..

By Breaking the Cycle, we can create a new legacy to pass down to our children and their children.

Awareness Begins Your Healing
