    Determination/Intrinsic Motivation

    Here is your inspirational post of the day:

    I try to make a concerted effort each day to heal the wounds of the #ChildhoodAbuse and #EmotionalNeglect that I experienced. Yes, the #SexualAbuse and #EmotionalAbuse left their marks on me in the form of #PTSD but that doesn't stop me. In fact receiving a PTSD diagnosis put a lot into perspective for me. It helped me to realize that what I experienced was that bad and it did in fact happen. That all the manipulation and gaslighting were wrong. But this post isn't about emotionally abusive tactics. Each day is a conscious choice to heal or not heal. Each day is a choice to break the cycle of abuse or not break it. Determination has to be what drives you to heal. I am determined to not let the past abuse interfere with my present, to not let it dictate my future. I am determined to heal so I do not pass on what I endured to others. Besides determination you need intrinsic motivation. This may be a bit harder to do because you need to know what drives you. Once you know this you can do just about anything. Remember my post on consistency? You need that too. All these things can help you to lead a fulfilling life despite the past history of abuse. I believe in you, now you have to believe in yourself. You can and will break the cycle of abuse because you can do it, I know you can. If I can do it, then so can you. Sure it takes time and effort but it is worth it. It takes digging up painful memories but it is worth it. You are worth it. So keep striving my friends. You got this.

    #Determination beats #FunctionalNeurologicalDisorder

    In just over a week I have the first Christmas market, week after is a concert with the choir I'm part of, the following is the second Christmas market.
    I've been stuck upstairs for atleast 16 days and inside I've been panicking about whether I'm actually going to be able to make any of it.
    Today, I wobbly walked the hallway without a frame. And that one simple thing tells me I'm going to make it.
    Most professionals and friends say to me positivity is key. They aren't completely wrong but for me determination is key. And the amount of determination I have to get to these events is overwhelming, so that's what's going to get me there.

    Know you are loved...

    #MentalHealth
    I woke up this morning wondering what I’m doing here.
    #Life ? #Love ? #Giving ? #Understanding ? What?? I asked myself..
    ALL of the above! ( I heard myself)

    We have a #Choice .
    Live with memories of #traumatic childhoods,
    Or
    #live with a #Determination of #yes ! #They can’t hurt me anymore! The past is over...let’s get on with healing..

    #freedom is ours, it’s always knocking to come home,
    Turn the key friend, OPEN THE DOOR!
    Your #heart is still #lovingly beating for you. For you #preious One...
    They never managed to take your #heart
    For many winters, you’ve survived with a #Broken heart- yes
    Now, come out, open the door, and #listen to the #Birds
    Listen to your heart
    Know you are loved.

    #Believe #Hope #HoldOn #NeverGiveUp #determined #change

    Gotta "Believe", as my little ceramic garden frog says!!! I've been where I only hoped for death. I'm near there still. But after 4 days of intense physical #Pain ,that finally affected me yesterday- #Emotionally & #mentally & #spiritually , I'm determined to have a #better #day #today !!!! Damn Straight!!!! Out with intrusive #negative thoughts,& memories. Out with holding onto #resentments I've held on to from those who've badly & painfully done &/or said malicious things to #hurt me. I've been #oppressed by these things too long !!!! I'm "shaking it off - I'm throwing it away. Well,let's be honest. Let's say, I'm not going to quit working on it. I suppose it's a process....but it starts with a decision & succeeds with #Determination & #tenacity !!!! ~·~·~· #PTSD #Memories #Trauma #multipletrauma #Drugged #raped ~·~·~·~......my story is too ugly to continue on this path.....im chucking it all atleast for today. I need a day off from this high degree of continual #Anxiety & #Depression & #Pain . it's affecting my #Sleep & the intensity of pain of my #Fibromyalgia ......im going to "find some #peace of #mind " (a line from a RHCP song. )........today I'm "on #Vacation " ,.......(from my #Problems )😁oh man, but DOES MY BODY #hurt !!! ......Need #rest & ssleep......this morning I have a virtual psychiatric appt .via ZOOM......a "Psych-Eval "- geeze!!! God give me #strength !!!!........ & another cup of #coffee !!!!☕ ☕ ☕ ☕ ☕

    #Determination #Positivity #willpower #Joy #happy #Music

    😂😂😂😂(gosh, here the memories again) - (gotta laugh at myself )....however,seriously, I'm determined to overcome any negativity that comes against me today -trying to steal my joy. I'm standing my ground & i won't be moved. Yesterday DID suck. But TODAY is pretty great & I again pull myself out of the yesterday's mess & press into the present moment. .....TODAY I'm extremely blessed. I'm happy😀 & It's gonna be a happy day. I can feel,it!!! 😉

    There's ̶b̶e̶a̶u̶t̶y̶  strength in the  ̶p̶a̶i̶n̶  survival

    When I was a kid
    My chest would fill
    With intense pain
    Every time I ran.

    When I was fourteen
    I got dizzy
    And saw colours
    Every prolonged stand

    When I was fifteen
    My fingers bent
    Past normal and
    I loved this misdeed.

    Now I am sixteen
    My chest fills
    With intense pain
    Regardless of speed.

    (Costochondritis.)

    I get dizzy
    And see colours
    Every time I stand.

    (Orthostatic Hypotension.)

    My body aches
    And bends to lengths
    Most can't understand.

    (Undiagnosed.)

    I never knew
    I could survive such pain,
    Going day after day
    Feeling mostly the same.
    And for this,
    They give me pity
    Because they see not
    Where I see beauty.
    They see broken hearts
    And shattered dreams,
    Not the ashes
    Where fire starts
    And where hope gleams.
    Not for me,
    But for humanity.
    This slight synecdoche
    Displays the cores of
    Human sanity:
    Our resilience
    Determination
    Ceaseless pliantness
    And strong ambition.
    We stop at nothing
    To stay alive
    We keep going,
    Continue to strive.
