Easier said than done, right? The reality is that this is a process, not an event. We practice celebrating ourselves and who we are. It's good to celebrate the things we do as well, but they are a result of who we are. Give yourself a little credit today for who you are. You deserve it! #grownostr
It's natural to want someone or something else to blame in our lives. This, however, is a path to disempowering ourselves and it leads to feeling like a victim of everything and everyone. It separates rather than connects us. Connection is where we gain even more power. Hate always loses in the end as we end up losing ourselves to hate everything else. #grownostr

This is a choice we all make everyday. What to believe about our lives. We can choose to believe anything we want. We also don't have to believe what we think. We can choose something else. I'm not talking about suppressing or avoiding, simply being aware and then choosing. #grownostr

We all have them, but many of us have lost trust in our instincts and intuition. Learning to regain that trust is a process, not an event. It's something that builds over time. Allow yourself to trust the small things first and simply try it. This is how you regain the trust. #grownostr

After being in the darkness, it allows us to see much more clearly the things that really matter. For many of us, we needed to go through it to find ourselves. It doesn't mean we deserved what we went through, but we may have needed it to allow us to find us. #grownostr
We all deserve the life and relationship that we want. We don't ever have to settle for the breadcrumbs anyone else is willing to give. Most important is what we give to ourselves. We can always give ourselves more love, kindness, compassion and support and it makes a bigger difference than anything else we get. #grownostr
So many of us say that we want peace. It's definitely important to protect yourself from people who disrupt it. It's also really important to become aware of when we are disrupting our own peace. We are often guilty of this more than we are aware of. Don't beat yourself up for it, simply be aware of it and work to change it. #grownostr

Watch out today and everyday. Either way, bullies are not someone any of us want in our lives. Strong boundaries are a good repellent. Walk away, run away, get away in whatever way you can. You can't help them and they probably won't acknowledge it. The only thing left is to save yourself. #grownostr
I wish this was different, but the reality is that very few people truly understand the depths of darkness we've gone through. Toxic abuse and manipulation is not something people can comprehend if they haven't experienced it themselves. Trying to explain doesn't usually help either. Find the people who do understand. They are out there. #grownostr
Neglect is abuse. Whether it's from a toxic person or not. It does damage that takes years or decades to heal. It's also something that's passed down generations until someone does the work to heal this. Do the work for you and the ones you love and get away from anyone unwilling. #grownostr
It's often blindsiding the way that toxic people are able to manipulate anything we say or do against us. What's worse is when they are able to convince other people of the same. Just because they are better at arguing and manipulating doesn't mean they are right! Know your truth! #grownostr

Toxic or unhealthy people often use the excuse of a bad day or struggles to mistreat people. The truth is that there's never an excuse to mistreat anyone else. We can have and hold boundaries without mistreating anyone. We can also have bad days and still be kind. It's never an excuse for bad behavior! #grownostr

We often aren't really sure what happened or where we are and even more uncertain where to go. This is something you can figure out by yourself. It shortens the time by decades though when we find people to help and support us through this and it's a more pleasant journey. Find these people and places and allow them to support you! #grownostr
It's time to start a revolution in yourself! Free yourself and future generations from the wounds of trauma. It begins with you deciding to do the work and move forward with your life. Beginning the work ends the cycle. Decide today. You are worth it! #grownostr

So grateful for these people in my life! They are a true blessing! We all deserve people like this in our lives. Take the time, make the time to find and cultivate these relationships. These people will help you through the darkest times if you allow them to. You are worth having these people in your life! #grownostr
When we heal and remove all the shame, judgement, abuse and manipulation we are left with our true selves. So much more than this though because we have the knowledge and experience and the compassion for everything we've gone through. We are left with a real true love of ourselves! #grownostr

This is one of the hardest and most important things for us to do. We can't truly move forward into a future that we want until we forgive ourselves, because we are still carrying this burden. This is a practice and a process that happens a little at a time. Make the time. You are worth it! #grownostr
Narcissist or not, do not allow anyone else to tell you what your experience was. You are the only one who truly knows what you've gone through. Learn to trust your own experience and yourself. We must be honest with ourselves even if no one else understands. #grownostr
Toxic and emotionally immature people only view things 2 ways. You're with me, or against me. It's always ok for us to make our own decisions for ourselves no matter what anyone else thinks, although many times it's safer and easier not to let them know. They will always think we're wrong. #grownostr

Whether it's a toxic person or someone with unhealed wounds, many of them create or perpetuate chaos in their lives. We don't need to accept or participate with it in our lives though. Healing our wounds allows us to embrace the peace we've created. Do the work! You are worth it! #grownostr
