RE: Attrition and Intuition: Gaslighting and Other Psychological Warfare/Mischief

in #psychology7 years ago (edited)

Gaslighting can make our hearts retract more, but a lot of life is counter-intuitive, so we must put our hearts straight back on the chopping block again (with our new wisdom) no matter what. There are only 2 real emotions in life: love and fear. Choose wisely or live a half lived life.<3

I intend to! That is certainly the plan!

Courage is a heart word. The root of the word courage is cor - the Latin word for heart. In one of its earliest forms, the word courage meant "To speak one's mind by telling all one's heart." Over time, this definition has changed, and today, we typically associate courage with heroic and brave deeds. But in my opinion, this definition fails to recognize the inner strength and level of commitment required for us to actually speak honestly and openly about who we are and about our experiences -- good and bad. Speaking from our hearts is what I think of as "ordinary courage.” ~Brené Brown, I Thought It Was Just Me: Women Reclaiming Power and Courage in a Culture of Shame

Cor as in (Cor)onary artery too ... Yes! Very few wear their hearts on their sleeves and live lesser lives because of it. Do you think I could've travelled the world with a closed heart?? Never! We must embrace our dark selves from our past and integrate them into the present. What we resist persists. We are a mixture of this light/dark yin/yang balance, and we should be proud of - NOT ashamed of :))
