When I first started becoming conscious about relationships, I often felt a wave of regret, believing (ONLY) my past unconsciousness had damaged them. What made it worse was the thought that the person I lost was somehow meant to be in my life—either as a partner or a friend. I would get stuck in feelings of sadness and hopelessness, as if I had done something irreversible. From where I stand now, I see that all my relationships unfolded exactly as they were meant to. As I mentioned in the video, this doesn’t mean I was meant to hurt someone or that someone was meant to hurt me. Instead, the relationships happened—or didn’t happen—because of the level of consciousness both people brought to them. I didn’t miss out on anything; I had lessons to learn. In the rare instances when I fully regretted not holding onto a relationship or trying harder to make it work, I’ve realized that those feelings of desire for the relationship were rooted in the present, not in the past. #spiritualpath #innerwork #relationship #love #spiritualbooks

Eventually, it will stop coming back. #limitingbeliefs #spiritualawakening #innerwork #selfhelp #consciousness #spirituality #booktok2024 #tiktokshopholidayhaul

This morning, I had a conversation with someone who had done the inner work and got scared because they were no longer resenting their relationship! For a moment, this person felt nervous because, up until now, she believed she only had the right to refuse something if she was suffering. But that’s not true. Just because you free yourself from resentment doesn’t mean you’re suddenly okay with everything. Letting go of the part of you that reacts doesn’t rid you of your preferences or desires. Instead, it opens the door to a deeper level of freedom. If this resonates with you, check out my book and start questioning the deep assumptions you’ve mistaken for the reality of who you are and how life works. #boundaries #relationship #spirituality #innerwork #awakening #booktok #selfhelpbooks #tiktokshopholidayhaul
