Realisations - Self honesty
Over the past few wks a lot of things have come up for me & I am very proud of myself for how well I have dealt with them & continue to deal with them.
I suppose the topic of values has been in my mind for a while, and it really hit home a few wks back when I was in group & this very subject came up. I was so uncomfortable with it at first because I suppose I always kept away from this topic, I think I was nearly afraid of it & the more I look at things that have happened over the past 2 wks or so the more I see now how that saying " What you resist will persist" is so true.
When I really looked at it & questioned my values I can see that many of the values that I held were not serving me well ( all condition driven values) & until I actually admitted this honestly to myself they were capable of keeping me stuck forever & would jeopardise my recovery, I feel has that a weight has been lifted from my shoulders in the last few wks since I have admitted to them and my journey seems a lot less fearful because I am being honest with myself & replacing old values with real values such as HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PEACE OF MIND/CONTENTMENT & SELF-HONESTY. It has taken me a long while to get to this place but I have learnt a lot about myself as a result, it was not easy for me to admit to these condition values that I held - it took courage & strength, I feel really proud of myself for this.
I really believe that if I am totally honest with myself and keep true to my real values that I can only reap the benefits of great life - a life that I truly deserve, a life free from condition.

I really like the simplicity of your post, eils. I feel that it is relavent for me at the minute as well.
I need to begin spending more time on exploring how I can live my new, recovered values.
I need to question my choices and actions more.
Today, I can say to myself: "How does this tie in with the future I want for myself? Is there any other option, that might have a more positive outcome for me?" And I can keep it simple like you so beautifully and articulately do in your post.
I want to value minding myself more, to make this a bit more automatic; a bit more natural. I can practice this, by questioning the thoughts that kept me in self-loathing in the past. Residual bits of these still persist, but i can question them, instead of resisting or dwelling on and worrying aboiut them. And I know my life will become even more enjoyable and free as a result.
The bottom line is this:
It is good and safe to question and re-examine my values.
Thanks eils,
Keep up the brilliant work. It is motivation for the rest of us.
Have a pro-life week:)
Thanks Eils and Michelle for your lovely contribution to the topic of discovering, exploring, re-examining, consolidating your values to lead a life free from any condition or residual bits.I have no doubt that your contribution will be a huge motivation for the rest of us. keep the good work going. Take care, P
