I've spent years trying to understand why some beliefs have such a grip on us.⁣

You can know where they came from. You can talk about them for hours. They still show up at the exact moment you're about to choose yourself.⁣

That's because some things live deeper than language- it's SOUL deep.⁣

⁣This mantra came out of that realization.⁣

I was thinking about the moments when I forget who I am.⁣

⁣

The days my body feels tight. When an old story sneaks back in, or the times when I'm searching for satiation and soothing and nothing seems to hit the spot.⁣

Expressive arts therapy has given me a way to meet the parts of myself without getting stuck in patterns of the mind.⁣

⁣

Sometimes that looks like microdose 🍄 inspired drawing of my my body parts Sometimes it's movement. This time it became a catchy mantra for my own hypnosis.⁣

I've learned that repetition shapes us. The voices we've heard our whole lives shaped us. The words we choose today shape us too.⁣

What is a mantra you've been repeating to yourself lately?⁣
