THE DAY I STOPPED ENTERING THE "SHAME STORM"...

I used to be the biggest perfectionist on the planet... I would make an itsy-bitsy mistake... and then it would spiral into a huge "shame storm"...

I would feel one shame... and then another shame... and another shame... and another shame...

Until I was absolutely convinced that I was the most despicable human being on the planet, who was flawed in every imaginable way... .

And then I would go into my PAST... and bring up shame after shame after shame...

And then I would go into my FUTURE... and bring up shame after shame after shame...

Making me absolutely convinced that NEVER in my life had I ever been a decent human being... nor would I ever be one in the future... .

And what exactly triggered these Shame Storms?

Well... I had made one itsy-bitsy mistake... or I was tired... or I was mind-reading that someone else must think I had made an itsy-bitsy mistake...

ANYTHING could trigger it off. .

And so how did I find my way out of the shame storms?

Well... I first started identifying the emotion of "shame" itself...

I spent my days calling out... "Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame, Shame..."

I was the broken record from hell... .

Then I researched shame... and figured out how to free myself from my most toxic shames one by one. <3 .

And then one day... I was able to STOP MYSELF from ENTERING the shame storms at all...

I would observe... "That's a Shame Storm coming... NOPE, I'M NOT GOING THERE!!"

And I didn't. :) .

And you don't have to go there either.

There IS another way to be...

You CAN be emotionally free! <3
