“Vulnerability is the birth place of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy and creativity.
It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path.”

What if your “bad” feelings aren’t bad at all, but evolution’s way of protecting you? Shame, anxiety, and sadness may hurt - but they can also heal.
@randynesse.bsky.social has written about this in his brilliant book: “Good Reasons for Feeling Bad.”

I have come to understand that all psychological problems have trauma and/or neglect at their root.
Kids are so sensitive and have underdeveloped minds, brains, nervous systems and ways of coping with adversity. What is merely painful for an adult can be traumatic for a child.

We need to find a way to take that first step of following our heart's desire, whilst also supporting ourselves in our "vulnerabravery", to use Brené Brown's helpful term.

Your nervous system isn’t malfunctioning—it’s communicating. Sometimes the path to calm starts with listening to what it’s been trying to tell you. Read the full article at merilevy.com/real-nervous...
Real Nervous System Regulation
To regulate your nervous system, you need to know why you're dysregulated and address the root causes, including perfectionism and people-pleasing.

My dreams are the way I see how & who I am in all my multiplicity, it never ceases to amaze me the many different characters, attitudes & behavious that show up in my dreams! Argh! All very instructive though, facing one's shadow is always deeply humbling work.

Another beautiful image from #JWST, this one showing the aftermath of a collision between two dwarf galaxies.
The two bright concentrations of stars are left and right with gas and stars forming a thick filament between the two.
The collision formed new stars—the blue regions throughout the scene.
