I realize that in the moment for most of us, it's not easy to believe this. You've already gotten through every single hard thing in your life. You will make it through this too! Allow yourself extra kindness and compassion in the process especially when it feels like you're going backwards. #grownostr

I don't dress up often, but I definitely can. 😁 My favorite suit! Had an amazing time at the FLY Fulfill Life Yourself Christmas party. So many incredible people and conversations. Incredibly grateful to be with so many wonderful people.

#grateful #grownostr

2 things that really piss off a narcissist. The second one I'll cover tomorrow and I don't recommend it. Leaving them will make them angry and they will probably try to destroy you, your character and credibility. They're probably doing this already and will now do more of it. This brings up feelings of rejection and shame. It doesn't matter if they don't want you anymore, they need you to want them. Of course, they will definitely blame you for all of this as well. #grownostr

So many of us feel alone and hopeless on the journey out of narcissistic abuse. Getting free and working on healing gives hope for so many people. Many you will never realize how much difference you made in their lives simply by continuing down the path of healing. Keep going! #grownostr

Some me time, drive time and definitely podcast and audiobook time. Might listen to a little music too though. Excited to go to the @fulfill.life.yourself Christmas party! #grownostr

Far too many people are putting shame and judgement on people who’ve gone through abusive relationships. This is the last thing any of them need. What’s worse is that it makes things worse, not better. What they actually need is grace, compassion, kindness and support. #grownostr

Narcissists love to lie to and about us and if we ever say anything they will act like we deserved it. This is never the truth and it is abuse no matter how subtle it is. Everyone deserves love and respect. This is something we must give ourselves first in order to embrace it from others. #grownostr

Most of us don’t realize how toxic our relationship was until after we are out of it for a while, even if we realize it was terrible. We often can’t see it, because it’s a subtle daily thing we endure. We also have had to minimize the things they do in order to survive being there. Give yourself grace and compassion as you realize this. You didn’t know and you didn’t see it until you did.

So many of us want a different life or relationship. If we don't take the time to self reflect on where we are now, it will be hard to see the things holding us back from what we want. We must do the inner work to see where we are, so we know the work to do to get us where we want to be. #grownostr

Narcissists want to define us to and for ourselves. So much we do take on in these relationships and then shame and blame ourselves for staying or believing negative things about ourselves. We didn't see it until we did. Be proud of every single thing you did to get out and heal! #grownostr

Narcissists are going to be miserable for the rest of their lives because they refuse to change. It's not fair what we went through, but we can heal from it. Doing the work isn't easy, but it is possible for everyone that decides to. Take the time to heal so you can move forward. #grownostr

For too many of us, there doesn't seem to be any sign of hope or help. We must keep going to find the people and resources to help us out of the darkness. There are good people out there ready to help. Keep going until you find them. You are worth it!! #grownostr

Going through immense darkness allows us to see the light in a different way. Coming out of this darkness requires a tremendous amount of strength. If you've gone through the darkness, you have the strength to walk out of it. Give yourself the gift of the light you deserve in your life! #grownostr

Simply taking a moment for yourself is a good start. You will learn more what you need as you give more and more to yourself. It's a process and a practice, not an event. It will become more comfortable and you will trust yourself more. Take the time for you. You are worth it! #grownostr

Every scar you get and have healed or unhealed is another sign you are continuing to move forward and build strength. They do tear us down, but we can also rebuild and heal. Enduring this process isn't easy, but it's worth it! You will get through it just as you've gotten through everything else you've been through. #grownostr

Just because you are in or have gone through the battles and even if you feel defeated, does not mean you are defeated. You are reading this now. This means you are still here and undefeated. Keep moving forward, doing the work and healing. Never give up on getting through it and building the life you want and deserve! #grownostr

All the emotions we have towards anyone else start in ourselves. We feel them, they don't. It's essential for us to do the work to feel, process and release these emotions. This is for us, not them. It allows us to let go of them, the emotions, the pain and the past so we can move forward in our lives. #grownostr

Healing is about the life and relationships you truly want and deserve, not just feeling better for a moment or a day. It's about being able to accept and embrace the love and peace you've built in your life. You simply get to decide you're ready to change your life and then do the work. You are worth it! #grownostr

Just getting through the day sometimes is more than many people can imagine. You've continued to move forward even on the hard days. This same strength and capacity is what you need to heal from this too. Give yourself the credit and do the work to heal. You are worth it! #grownostr

The peace and safety we seek is in ourselves. It's very difficult or impossible to embrace any of it outside of us until we learn to embrace it in ourselves. This is the work we must do. It's not easy but it is worth it. It's also something anyone can do. You simply must decide to! #grownostr
