The story in my head has fueled fear, depression, and resentment. Now I'm investigating what happens when I share the story in my head with someone I've hurt as an intro to making amends and a beginning to healing.By Amy - Fellow Human

Intimacy is tricky business. Especially when it becomes clear people define intimacy in a lot of different ways. I wonder if we have an Intimacy Language? My mission to learn more about intimacy led me to discover an experiment about contentment. Strange I know but sometimes the stories in my head begin in one place and end in a very different spac…

Many times I have been accused of "over-reacting" when I thought I was just "reacting" to the situation in front of me. In actuality, I react to the situation I THINK is in front of me, as seen through the eyes of all of my past experiences AND limited by lack of experience. I'm learning to slow down, gather information, sort through my feelings an…

Most of the stories that I carry with me into adulthood began in my childhood. I'm looking honestly at the roots of my stories and I'm realizing the original story-teller may not be telling "truth". I'm working to re-write My Story... to write My Truth. This is part of my process...By Amy - Fellow Human

I've been told I have 'trust issues' and 'to just have faith'. That's tricky when I had lost all faith in myself, in people and in a Higher Power. Now, I'm working to change the way I see my past so I can practice trusting ME and having faith again.By Amy - Fellow Human

I tell stories even in my sleep, and at times my dreams lead me to new questions and new discoveries. Or at least a new experiment! This time I'm working to re-write my "to-do" list.By Amy - Fellow Human

When I think about being "triggered" by someone or something, I get irritated. Why? Maybe cause it seems like there is no 'safety mechanism' in place and it feels out of control. I'm working to find some space between feeling triggered and reacting to whatever has just transpired. This is my story of finding my safety.…

This is the story of when I said to myself "I CAN" when I could not. What we can't do is as valuable as what we can do... as long as we keep both in mind and not focus solely on one or the other.By Amy - Fellow Human

Ever acted outside of your norm in a relationship? Ever acted like a lunatic even when you didn't want to? I have and I compare it to flying on a airplane... and how I react when the flight starts to go terribly wrong.By Amy - Self Care Advocate

Working to re-write the narrative in my head, I am learning to leave the feeling behind and take the lesson forward. The stories I tell myself fuel my emotions and affect my behaviors. I am not yet able to "forgive and forget", but I CAN work to remember my past and leave the feelings 'back then'.By Amy - Self Care Advocate

Another story, another 'rambling' and another experiment. Digging out of the old and into the new requires dedication, exploration and hard work. I myself prefer to be a bit lazy! Here's some of the story of how I changed my story from the comfort of my couch.

What I have learnt from natural medicine so far!

The stores in my head have helped me create expectations - both of others in the world and of myself - that are NOT congruent with reality and do not set anyone up for success.

After some practice listening to myself and examining the way I communicate with myself, I am pondering the perspective from which I view my world and realize I may be wrong... often very wrong. And I don't like being wrong! Yet getting it 'right' becomes my newest experiment.By Amy

As I meander through my thoughts on how I communicate with myself, the words I choose, and the consequences that come from those choices; I realize the power of speech...even when I'm not speaking aloud!!!By Amy

What is my body type?There are three body types: ectomorph, endomorph, and mesomorph. If you are lean and long, find it challenging to build muscle, and have ever been accused of being a ‘beanpole’, you’re probably an ectomorph. If you tend to be on the heavier side and find it difficult to lose body fat, you are likely an endomorph. If you find it…
