Finding and living compassionate indifference

[bttrfly]

so my darling, have you worked as hard to find compassion for yourself?

think about it.

also, Ho Oponopono ... it's a thing. It's real. Check it out.

Loving kindness starts by giving loving kindness to ourselves first.

We must ALWAYS source ourselves first.

I know that while I was feeling the depths you're experiencing (and I was just there *again* this past week on a brief visit, but notice the operative word: brief) I asked myself what part I played in all of this. That's the time to really focus on self care.

Guess what else I learned this weekend? Self care is healthy boundaries! Like when the lady at the farm stand wouldn't leave me alone as I was sobbing in my car on the phone with a dear friend, it was absolutely necessary for me to set a healthy boundary so I could get that grief out safely. That is a form of self care.

I know you're staying grounded but what other ways are you practicing self care? Make a list.

What are you grateful for since BD?

Again, make a list.

These suggestions are not to distract you from your grief; rather they helped me cope with it.

Hope this helps xoxoxoxo

PS the keywords for this time for me were integrity, fierce compassion, love.
the hardest part of Ho Oponopono is the last part. Thank you for the lessons of BD? what madness is this?? I can tell you there is value in an examination of the lessons of BD.
