Today, I will practice accepting myself and my present circumstances. I will begin to watch and trust the magic that acceptance can bring into my life and recovery.

The Language of Letting Go

How do I feel today? Shaken. Very shaken up from some triggers that have come up over the past few days and as I remember and recount the darkest moments and the devastating abuse, I realise that I have generally forgotten what happened, the intricacies of the abuse, but not the way that it made me feel.

I just need to accept it happened. I need to stop questioning.

Why?

Why me?

What did I do?

I have grown in so many ways – I am wiser to the world, I know more about humanity, inhumanity, compassion, empathy, love, forgiveness, care, support and self-worth. Through him I realised what a good person I am.

Today I need to focus on acceptance, especially after the past couple of days.

 

Make that: 

SHAPED NOT SHAKEN
