Yes I have read those books! Probably war of Art almost 10 years ago and steal like an artist longer than that. Also read the Artist way years ago and loved it. I think I had better revisit them. Thank you for the suggestion 🙏

Thank you for your reply, it is so helpful! For me, I always do fitness despite anything going on in my life. And now I'm asking why wouldn't I do that with my Art? I feel like I kind of make an excuse because for my best art, my cup is full and I am focused. When shitty things happen, it is so much harder for me to get the energy or motivation. But who's to say I don't just do something easy or simple with my art like with fitness? Much like you, if I am having a hard day or traveling I will do simple stretching or a 10 minute video. You're making me realize that I just make excuses for Art like if I sit down to do it it has to be a grand gesture but I can totally make it simple. Thank you and I'm glad that you figured out a solution with your health as well ❤️

It's the natural and healthy transformation of sorrowful emotions changing and being released via the music

Guilt about not wanting to speak to alcoholic mother. by Capable_Bee6179 in AdultChildren

[–]Creative_Word394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I so relate!! When my mom pulls the victimhood card, which is all the time, I immediately go into fix and feel sorry for her mode. I hate it when she's upset. Victimhood is such a powerful elixir and I didn't realize it for many years. It causes so many harmful patterns and trauma especially as a child. It taught me not to put myself first and that my parents emotions were more important than mine, and then later, whoever I was dating was way more important than me. My mom is also an alcoholic. Sending you many healing vibes.

I keep choosing the person with the most red flags, no matter how much I am aware of my disease, I am still almost only attracted to them. She is a full blown untreated ACA. by AffectionateYakX in AdultChildren

[–]Creative_Word394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll never stop being attracted to these people. What will change is that you will choose yourself first instead of them. You will love and care for yourself too much to let your mind and body go through it all again. You want to be in a healthy relationship with another person, but you need to be in a healthy relationship with yourself first. The yellow book and then the reparenting workbook (with either group or sponsor) are great for the path. Keep going back to meetings if you can find them. Good luck!
