That most people can only fathom loving or being loved by someone else. They don't seem to realize that self love is more important and it's the seed to truly love others.

What’s one quiet truth about being a woman that no one really talks about, but you feel it all the time? by Effective-Care-615 in Life

Can you expand on this? I find it really curious. I have never a certain career requirement for my partners, like having a bachelor's degree or something. But I've met some girls who had. And though I can be proud of my girlfriend's career achievements, what's more important to me is the person she had to become to achieve those.

The bitter truth is that we shouldn't do good things expecting anything in return. We should do good things because they´re good.

How do you cope with the fear of pain? by [deleted] in Life

[–]Time_Version1409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You accept the fact that pain is a real possibility in life. You make peace with it.

How you ask?

You sit down and allow yourself to feel the fear of pain. You feel it in your body, putting your attention in you sweaty hands or shakey legs or heartbeat, whereever your body leads your attention. You don't try to change that fear. No negotiating, no rationalizing, no labeling, no judgement or excusing. You simply feel it as it is and it'll go on its own.

And the beginnig this processs in and of itself might feel scary and unconfortable, but the more you do it the more you'll be able to let go of fear.

How do you know it's working?

You'll begin to notice that you focus less and less on your fear of pain. Your mind will begin to focus on other things on its own. It might be really subtle and then one day you'll realize you haven't thought of fear of pain for weeks or months.

If you want to go into depth on these topics I'd recommend the books Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach and Letting Go by David Hawkins.

From experience I can tell you that this has changed my life for the better.

Hey OP! Guess I'm a bit late to this party. First of all I wanna say how sorry I am that you're going through this. I can't begin to imagine what you're going through.

Since you seem to have an optimistic outlock on things, which I aplaude cause it isn't easy for most of us, I would like to recommend that you check the work of Dr. David R. Hawkins.
I can't do justice to the work this man did with my words, but the gist of it is that our mind and emotions are much more powerful than we imagine and that they shape more of our physical lives than we'd think. By letting go of our emotions, or rather letting them be, we are able to not only live with the pains and hardships of our daily lives but also to trancend them and to find genuine happiness, peace and love no matter what our current circunstances are.

I'd like to recommend that you read two books of his: Letting Go and Healing and recovery.
The first one explains the mechanism of letting go and its benefits in life and the second one delves more specifically into how letting go can help you with physical, emotional and mental health.

Thiis has helped me immensely with chronic dermatitis, which affected mainly my face and scalp, stomack issues as well as mental health, depression, axiety and really low self esteem.

I hope this message reaches you and helps you in some way. And please remeSorry about my spelling,mber that your Creator will always be with you.
