RED FLAGS: The Grand Myths and Super Importance
The healed soul, or even the person well along on the soul-communion process sees Red Flags very differently. When you’ve gone in and done the truly deep work of confronting and excising the BS core beliefs you formerly could not even see about yourself, what naturally grows in their place is a greater awareness of your authentic voice and identity, needs and feelings inside and on your skin. See, the purpose and power of awareness is not just in seeing what’s truly going on around you, but, far more importantly, it’s real punch comes from being able to sense, moment to moment, what is going on inside yourself, the real stuff, not just your reactions because of stuff from your past that has caused you to be triggered.
How Much Effort Does Healing Require?
There are few patterns I’ve seen more consistently over the years, than the proclivity people have to give in to fear when it comes to self-help and the whole realm of healing and growing self. That’s how powerful fear is. The pain in your life mustbecome unbearable before it can push you through your fears. The fear is of the stuff that is dragging you down most inside. Thus, the work of healing and growing selfto full authenticity and ALIVENESS, is conversation between you and your own fear.
Love-Bombing and Important Dating Small Things
One of the newer words to work its way into common parlance, at least vis-à-vis dating and relationships, is ‘love-bombing,’ wherein a person you’re dating showers you with attention, gifts, kind words, affection, and everything you thought you ever wanted, building a strong emotional bond in you. You become convinced you’ve finally – FINALLY! – found the person you’ve been looking for your whole life. You don’t just fall. You fall hard!
