Status Updates From How to Do the Work: Recogni...

well this is a meaty, practical boi. the writing style is really digestible and I like the examples/exercising to put the info into daily routines. excited for all the upcoming chapters and topics, yay!

بلوغ عاطفی یعنی با توجه به شرایط، ترکیبی از سهل‌گیری و سخت‌گیری را به کار بگیرید (نه‌تنها با اطرافیانتان، بلکه با خودتان نیز).

Whenever I read books like this I convince myself I’m actually fine LMAO

well she sure just jumps in and starts giving practical advice on what to do with this info, which is amazing! isn’t beating around the bush and keeps it simple, yet realistic. here for it.

The inner child chapter wrecked me. I now have many things to talk to my therapist about 😅

Is future self journaling basically just setting your intentions? I think that’s what it is, the template is just a little lacking for me, so I’m unsure.

Might put this in pause for the next couple of weeks to read some Brené with the book club but enjoying it very much

This book is amazing!

Pretty good! Learning lots about what I’ve been feeling but have failed to put into words. Reticular activating system, confirmation of bias, etc. Having a hard time remembering a lot of the book for some reason, but great in the moment.

Very insightful!

Re-reading love her work sm

Still really feeling conflicted about this book. Not at all what I thought it would be. Skimming a lot to find nuggets I find helpful.

I’m either unsure if I’m getting anything out of this or just resistant to get something out of this by the nature of it being subtitled as it is. I’ll try and stick it out and see what I walk away with.

I'm intrigued and inspired. Lots of tears. I like the journaling prompts cuz they're simple for uncomfortable feelings.

This may be my only progress because I feel I need to read the book in totality then comment on the overall impression.

It’s really good. Learning a lot and highlighting important parts.

Taking my time so I can absorb the lessons and put them into practice correctly

It’s an excellent book, I love her writing style.

You have to see yourself to love yourself and you have to love yourself in order to give yourself what you weren't able to get from others.

"The ego interprets any disagreement or criticism as a direct threat to our very existence. When our opinions are questioned, the ego believes that our core self is being threatened."

"It's nearly impossible to fulfill all the needs of another human, especially when both people are dealing with their own unresolved traumas."

I just googled this woman, and it turns out she is actually insane. But that is excellent for self help advice

"Healing is a conscious process that can be lived daily through changes in our habits and patterns."

We can change the way
we connect to our Self and in doingchange
the way we connect to the universe. There is
always an opportunity to grow, evolve, and
inspire, which trickles out into the collective.
The point is to return us to our authentic essence, our pure awareness, the embodiment of who we were before conditioning
took hold. to reconnect with the col-
lective access the deep well
of Self-empowerment within us

I am a powerful creator of my world, and my
energy and thoughts shape the world around
me. Yes, there are things outside my control
and we do have power over the way we ex
perience the world. We can change the way
we take care of ourselves. We can change the
way we interpret our surroundings and relate
to the ones we love.

Every moment, we make a choice: we can
live in the past, or we can look forward and en-
vision a future that is different.

I'm allowing myself the flexibility of
choice. I'm giving myself the gift of openness
and curiosity to explore the possibilities of a
relationship that emerges from my own inner
Self-trust and Self-love,
