Your Personal Recovery David Molletti

On a weekend holiday we we have a chance to reflect on the real meaning of the holiday, feel connection to others through shared experience of family, community and culture and in our path of discovery explore how we might experience this differently.

These traditional events and celebrations can have deeper meaning and create time for reflection.

What is important about these traditions to you?

Have you modified your traditions or even created new ones?

Creating our own sense of importance around traditions and all they bring us is a central theme in Your Personal Recovery Path.
“Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.”
― Gustav Mahler
“It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing.”
― D.H. Lawrence
 

Establishment of a mindfulness practice is a key element of the Your Personal Recovery Path.
Being fully in the present. Not the imaginary future or the imaginary past.
Mentions of mindfulness turn up more and more in discussions of mental health, physical health or the path of personal clarity and for good reason. A lot of our current culture functions in mind-less-ness and distractions.
Being fully present in our experience brings access to our inner peace and smoother operation of this whole bio-computer we live through.
Great idea but how do we bring it into practice? What can the mind look for and then let go of? Sharing ideas is a good place to start.
Some of the points in this show are inspired by a great article by Jay Dixit in Psychology Today a decade ago.

In this meeting, we continued our discussion of How we create or even curate our reality by what we bring forward to the situation. We consider some additional quotes by Marcus Aurelius from his work Meditations.
In the second part, we branched off into discussing the impacts of trauma on our perceptions and experience. Discussing both small t and big T traumas and the all-important resources to meet challenges that life inevitably brings.
 
Quotes mentioned in this show:
" I used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see." - Jimi Hendrix
Quotes by Marcus Aurelius from his work Meditations:
“Today I escaped anxiety. Or no, I discarded it, because it was within me, in my own perceptions—not outside.”
“It’s silly to try to escape other people’s faults. Just try and escape your own.”
 ”Ask: What is so unbearable about this situation? Why can’t you endure it? You will be embarrassed to answer.”
