My Transformation Journey
My evaluation of my 18 weeks working towards Transformation comes with a great deal of joy and a sense of accomplishment. MY biggest change has been a change in my way of thinking, my mindset, my determination, etc. Mostly, mental/emotional/spiritual with some physical changing too.
I found such love and support here and the more I tuned into the many stories of my t-friends, the more I learned about myself. I developed an understanding of how interdependent we are. How we truly need one another and why this is all so important. I can't yet put it all into words but it certainly has been a journey worth journeying for me!
Learning to become less judgmental came as a bright light and much more compassion for my friends. We are all different and have so much to learn from one another. I am not right about anything but what works for me can be shared with love and kindness. I have less fear and more honesty and realize that I didn't even know how dishonest I was (mostly to myself). I've been hiding and am slowly coming out into a brighter and more clear world. It's really a wonderful place! :)
My relationships have probably been the biggest change. I relate to others with much more love and understanding. I saw some things in myself that were holding me back from true love with others. Love for others and being close has always been hard for me. I am much more open and see the benefits in expressing these positive feelings outwardly. I am less afraid and work daily on this part of expression in my life. I’ve peeled off some of the “stuff” which was holding me back and now see the reflection of myself in others.
My energy is so much higher now than before. The BIGGEST thing I learned was to push myself and to take ACTION. When I took the steps necessary for these things it ALWAYS paid off. I feel fabulous when I take control of my life and push past laziness and fear. Doing this builds my confidence and awakens my spirit and lifts me to a new level of living. I have learned that when I do the hard thing (in the moment) that I am rewarded many times over at a later time.
In the 16th week of my Transformation I was challenged with a road trip that really took me out of the new and wonderful place I PREFER to be. I thought this would be ok and I could make it work but found somethng BIG in need of work... It's about following my intuition and listening to my heart. It's about doing what I need to do for my personal happiness.... it's about being honest with others in a kind and loving way, while still living for myself. I let go of my own needs to make some other people happy only to feel sad, frustrated and resentful that I didn't meet the physical part of goals I set for myself 18 weeks ago. It's no ones fault, it's that I have some work left to do to meet this part of my Transformation.
I have tried on my red swimsuit and I do look many times better than the first fitting. I am stronger both in body AND mind. I will post my picture when I arrive "physically" to the place I have planned for myself. So, my friends, I will be in the next Transformation... ready with one Challenge behind me and much more to learn ahead!
Loving Kindness,
Kath
