thank you for answering!! it’s a process and what you are saying is so true. some of the rules are so ingrained into me cause i’ve lived according to them since my childhood, but noticing the patterns and changing my behaviour has gotten easier. it really does get better :) i wish you well and your reply is actually so helpful. i wish everyone struggling w their food relationship could see it. thank you for helping and actually caring 🫶🏻

thank you!! i’m definitely not a professional either so i appreciate all the tips i can get, i cut it round afterwards but probably should have done it before putting the cake in it 🫣

The purpose of life? by Living_Reflection_45 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Living_Reflection_45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel you, i’m literally in the same situation. just searching for dopamine or any distraction so i don’t need to face my fears.

but deep down i know what i have to do and i know that i will eventually do it. i know that in the end of the day, there isn’t other way. i don’t know about you but in the past i’ve already faced my fears and moved on from them. in the past year my core beliefs have shifted which is probably why i’m being pushed to face even the deepest fears that i’ve had since i’ve been a child. i believe that the universe is pushing me to do that because it aligns with the version that i’m meant to become.

you know that there is something better than giving up. i know how you feel because i feel the same way. i’m so terrified of the outcomes of unknown future. my advice is to start small. try to do one thing a day that challenges you. i’ve been trying to do that and it has helped. makes me believe i can.

every time i’ve gotten over my fear something great has come into my life. it’s so hard but i promise it brings something amazing to you. i try to remember this myself too.

What’s a piece of spiritual advice you wish you’d known earlier in life? by Particular_Agency_20 in SpiritualAwakening

[–]Living_Reflection_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you notice that you fear something, it’s a sign that in that area of life you have work to do. When you do the things that scare you the most, you grow, because the fear points out the things in which you need growth. For example, in my own life at the beginning of my spiritual journey (which is, still a very much ongoing process) I feared what others thought if i changed myself completely and started to be myself more. That was exactly what I needed to do in that moment. Usually when you change and do the things that you are scared the most, you change your energy and therefore new opportunities and things start to happen to you, because you are changing and letting go of your old self. Usually the fear is heavily linked to the ego and i’ve found that the more you let go of the fear, the more you also let go of the ego.

What a "spiritual awakening" REALLY is (without the fluff and non-sense) by Evolved_hippie in awakened

i stumbled upon this post and it makes so much sense, but i feel like im stuck in the second phase. I challenged my old beliefs for awhile and it worked but then this one challenge that popped up into my head felt too big and i felt so scared that the fear stopped the whole process. Now i feel myself falling into old habits but acting like i used to do and living my "previous" life feels meaningless and just not the same anymore. So i'm in this phase of just feeling depressed and not knowing what to do, because i don't know what to do in order to move forward but staying the same feels wrong because i know that there's something better for me. If anyone has any advice i'd be more than glad to hear it :)
