December Plan

 

November's challenge was such a success, that I have decided to continue with December prompts. 

I am in shock that November is over and the final month of 2021 starts TOMORROW. Time flies - whether you're having fun or not. 

I am going to take the December prompts and share just as I have for November, but will focus more on reflection and future casting. I am very much into living a life that is full, and hope to share some tips and tricks I have learned over the years to do just that. 

This blog started as, and will always be, a place where anyone can come and find that they are not alone - in whatever they are struggling or working through. I do not put this out there to toot my own horn, or make myself appear superior, or try to take away from the magnitude of the things I have been through in my life. I put this blog out to share awareness on issues that may be a bit taboo to discuss, but also to create a safe space for anyone who needs it. 

I have never, nor will I ever attack anyone in this blog. This is not some passive aggressive livejournal (y'all remember those?!) where I blast those who I feel need to be exposed, nor is this a place where I try and build an army. No friends - this is where I am sharing my experiences, how I got through them, and how I see them now that there has been healing. 

Life after healing (if you want to heal... is the first step) is beautiful. Not allowing yourself to be ruffled by passive aggression on socials because your blog struck a chord, or the comments taking off - that's growth! Haha

It has also been brought to my attention that my posts tend to project a lack of empathy. 

Let me abundantly clear - healing from trauma, broken hearts, and/or anything you need to heal from changes your perspective. This means that your take on what happened, after it happened and you decided to heal - will be different than when you were going through it. 

I choose to not post while I process things because I don't need anyone in my healing space but me. Healing from things you don't talk about, or healing in general really, is really lonely. Once you're on the other side - kudos - ya made it! 

So what I often share on here has been healed and can be seen as a learning experience or something to grow through. 

My recommendation to you, if you WANT to start healing but don't know where to start.. take the prompts I used for November and the ones I will use for December, and start to journal. You do not have to go back and read what you wrote, but you will get to know yourself better - what triggers you, what no longer serves you, what brings you immense joy, how you see yourself, how you are behaving based on past traumas.. all of the things. You will certainly find that you are more self aware, and will begin to heal. Healing and learning are not overnight processes - that ish takes TIME. 

But when YOU are ready, start. 

The next 31 days will be exciting and educational - and I can't wait to have you along for the ride!!
