Speaking Life Into Yourself
As I continue my journey, I am still very curious about violence: what it means, where it comes from, and my role in it.
I have found that one of the most important aspects to look at is inner violence: how we speak and treat ourselves inside.
I know some people might think that using the word “violence” to describe how we speak to ourselves is extreme, but I personally don’t.
In fact, I think it is helpful to see this as violent energy so that it is taken seriously and acts as an invitation to see if we are being violence towards ourselves.
Only then can we choose to learn and practice being non-violent internally.
And, in my experience, this is how we also learn to become non-violent to others.
I don’t know everyone’s stories that read these posts and I certainly do not judge anyone’s struggles with this. The source of these thoughts is complex and not easy to unravel.
But to the extent it helps, I would like to offer three phrases that you can use inside to speak Life into Yourself no matter what’s going on.
I use them often…
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday,

Thank you all for being here with me.
Thank you to Jenny Anstey who allowed me to put POWER FULL on her bookshelf at her office this week. It gave me great joy. I appreciate her encouragement on so many of my other projects over the years.
Love the three phrases! :)
