Already noticing the benefits of my recent difficult light & shadow therapy work investments, on my first day back to work, after taking 2 unpaid weeks off to recover from recent medical issues. Also, my black eye is almost all gone - using concealer to cover up rest of the bruising.
I was triggered by a mean & covert racist person within an hour of being at work. They made fun of my mask & also told me that I dress weirdly. I didn't react. I ignored them & just kept wheeling my client out to the gardens. I didn't fall for their bait again. I'm proud of myself. In the recent past, I'd have reacted & given them my energy again. I reported them for being abusive today too.
I'm growing in multiple ways, right now. Safe, compassionate therapy has helped me to do that, intentionally. The difficulties & discomforts, while doing the work, are worth my personal improvement investments. Choosing to evolve is a strong personal choice. I am choosing to evolve. The wounded little girl inside of me feels immensely grateful for my present choices to transform my past pains into present powers.
I have had my tea & am heading back to finish up with my clients.
