Towards freedom, together!

[okulele]

I have been struggling with my addiction for far too long. It is time to let it go.

I am looking for a partner in freedom! I am looking for someone with whom I could connect and who would hold me accountable for my vow to change my habits.

Idealy such partner would have an compulsion/bad habit, which he/she would want to quit also. We would encourage each other and we would break free of it with each others help.

In my opinion, having someone fighting the same battle and motivating each other, can be amazing.

 

The old habit:

JUNK FOOD. On the surface I am a very healthy person. I have a very good diet and I excercise. However when the sun goes down I get cravings for junk food and binge on that. It got out of hand in recent weeks. I am prepared to let it go.

 

The new habit:

SHAMANIC JOURNEYING. I have been attracted to shamanism for a long time, but for some reason I never started practicing seriously. I will implement this into my evening in stead of my old habit.

 

I hope to find one person who would do this with me. However I encourage others to make pairs also and strive towards freedom together.

Nobody can do it for you. This path must be walked alone. Oh, yes, it will take strenght, thats why not many people made it. But I did and im still doing.

I did it alone.

@Ether Oh, I realize I have to do it myself. But I am not the only one here and we CAN help each other if it is possible. Inspiring and motivating each other is just striving for a better world together.

Let's break out of the shell of "I have to do this alone, whatever the cost.". It is not true. We are in this universe together. We can cocreate.

@okulele No, but you must still do things alone.

You must walk the path alone,  you still have to do meditation, self-enquiry, shadow work, keep a presence up, create solutions, love yourself, heal your trauma. This are things you must do alone. Nobody can do it for you.

@Ether Yes. I totally agree. The work itslef has to be done by me.

All I wanted to accomplish here is adopt a new strategy and let someone check on me every day. That would light a fire under my ass

Ask yourself; What is the long term consequence of eating junk food? Really make sure that the so called negative aspects get dug into your subconscious and the positive aspects of not doing it too.

Use awareness everytime you are about to eat something greasy, that usually turns you off pretty fast, just stay as aware as possible, and dont store junkfood in your home.

Be mindful of all your excuses, the mind is tricky, it will say things like ”oh ive been so good, i deserve a big cheeseburger” dont listen! 

Good luck! Im here to support

With Junk Food you firstly need to work out your emotional and mental self. If you have uncomfortable emotions, and compulsive thoughts it will lead to eating food  Meditation on the heart, feeling your emotions, cradling your thoughts like little babies help so much. With me eating once a day I had to make sure I was okay with uncomfortable emotions, and so I just kept developing our relationship. Even discomfort is a costume God dresses up in. 

You already are healthy, because you are the light of God. Affirmations like this help develop this parent-child relationship with your cute little emotions. Wish you the best.

@Ether @Rilles @Solace Thank you all for grounding me swiftly

@okulele If you wan’t it bad enough, you wouldn’t need anyone to light a fire under your a**.

What you discover on your path, you most likely wont be able to share. It’s very scary but one must be determined to walk alone thru the darkness and never give up. There is basicly no other option, even if you are stuck in the dark night of the soul. Walk, remember and keep walking.
