Moving forward with positive focus
by ASilentObserver
Last post
 July 19th, 2024
...See more Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. As you might know, we did a growth path survey a couple of weeks ago where we asked what kind of growth paths you all would like to see. And, one of the most requested categories was Moving forward with a positive focus. I'd like to invite you to help me create good growth paths in this category. It would be great to team up where we collectively share what has helped us learn, understand, how to move forward with a positive focus. These can be personal experiences, things people have said to us, books or ideas we have come across, talks or short videos we have found on YouTube, images that we find helpful, etc. Let's share all of the above in this thread and work together to figure out how to make these steps or exercises. It can be used to help others become better at moving forward. Any and all ideas, thoughts are welcomed. This is our discussion space where we can get ideas flowing. We will figure it out as we learn and evolve. Thank you and I'm looking forward to working with you all on creating Growth Path Playlists on this topic! ------------------------- We would also appreciate your feedback, thoughts on these topics too: Open here to check!

Perfectionism
by Heera72
Last post

...See more A perfectionist is one thing we have become today because of always being said that we are not good enough. It is not a flaw that we expect everything to be perfect, but that is just not going to do any more good for our lives. Perfectionism can cause problems like procrastination, making us focus on perfection rather than completing tasks, leading to burnout, lower productivity, poor mental health, making it difficult to make decisions, reduced creativity, making us avoid challenges, and having more strained relationships. It is by recognizing the problems that we can free ourselves from the constraints of perfectionism. https://yourmentalhealthpal.com/survival-guide-on-how-to-stop-being-a-perfectionist/

growth path findished trigger warning

...See more we wanted to share a growth path we finished. when we started our healing journey  a friend  who a social  worker and survivor  herself of abuse. she been helping us for years online. she asked us a question that we had to think on many times over the years. her question was why do you not move away from family. this set us on a growth  path. it taken us  little less then 20 years to finish this growth path and many many times questioning her question. at first our answer was we can not leave mom we to be there emotionally support her. she needs us to be there for her. if we leave move away she feel abandoned again. we just can not do that to her. we even at first did not believe she was abusive. well years went by we was able to  see she was abusive and even toxic to us. but we still stayed due to she needed us. we learned about codependency  and few other things related to that. also distorted  thinking  ways. well in may 2017 we made the big move out of daily abuse. we moved to a new city we did not know at all. learned to use the city buses to get around. this gave us freedom from daily abuse. we also started setting better healthy boundaries. we only kelp in connected with parents mostly by phone. but for first few years we allowed mom to come stay with us for week at a time. we learned a lot more about our childhood that she had said did not happen. we feel due to age and well her health she was feeling need to tell us before she passed. she also know God and believes in Him so yes she could have did it out of fear of what was going to happen after she died. but even in this she made excuses for dad. oldest brother and herself. she say that she did best job she could with what she had.  but we was blessed she did that  too. well we also would tell her when on phone if we said stop she would get 3 warning then we hang up. after we did this 4 times she started to listen. we came a long way in our healing journey  this was a very very very big step for us. yes  at times would felt guilty for moving. but now we do not feel that way as it the best thing we could have ever  done for our self. life is now  free from daily abuse first time in life. but getting use to this too. so finished  this growth path feel good about it too

Self-Respect
by Heera72
Last post
 January 10th
...See more Self-respect matters because it is the foundation that forms our self-esteem and directly impacts how we perceive ourselves. It is about valuing ourselves for who we are and living according to our beliefs and values. Self-respect helps us bring out who we are- our values and principles- and to live authentically without compromising them. Self-respect is not about feeling superior; it is about valuing ourselves before others and living in a way that reflects it. It is essential to be who we are and respect ourselves for it.

...See more this may seem  crazy to more, but it what we have lived. seem like all my life i was not allowed to be a full person. seem like i was  just seen as my mom daughter  and my brothers sister. many did not call me by my name at all. some even thought i was just like my mom with her likes and dislikes. no one asked me  what i personally liked and dislikes. this made me feel like i was  no one at all. may 2017  i moved to different  city in same state. first time in my life  i been not close to were my  family  lives. so people now here know me as me call me by name. even ask questions about my likes and dislikes. this even after more then 7yr still feel odd, but to others it be normal to  have name used and asked questions about self. not even sure why it just feel odd to me. here i living free from  them who abused me. not even  hear from family members much. but i also find myself at times lost to what i like and dislike it just so new to me still. feel kinda crazy writing this out even most would know answers to what they truly like and dislike but i question that a lot
