And don't get me wrong, I'm in love with all those other things and projects that are getting my time right now. But I have to make space to physically work out my body. It's one of the ways that I get rid of extra energy that I carry, right? Of picking up energy from other people and things like that. So I am recommitting to myself that every single day I'm going to work out hard, whatever that looks like
I have to follow suit and ride this out, ride this storm out. No matter what it is, no matter what the circumstances is, I have to do it. He knows my heart. He knows that there's things that keep me occupied where I won't fall short and just dwell on the craziness that's happening in my life right now. But to come to this conclusion, to know that my needs are not being met, I decided, you know what?
You. So this is definitely another thought provoking topic. Many of us know our needs are not being met. In a way, mine are. I have really I really do like the person I've grown into. And I have had or I am getting my needs met due to the fact that I have cut out a lot of toxic people in my life that were talking about me behind my back and did not have my back and just weren't there for me

I had to let that idea go because some families are toxic and some families are bad for you and it was bad. So that is feeding myself, I think, and putting the brakes on when it comes to anything that intuitively maybe goes up my spine as far as meeting new men. Whereas before, again, I would just excuse it

You. First of all, I hope you had a fantastic Mother's Day and I hope that you had a great weekend. Am I satisfied? Am I needs being met? No. Is part of it my fault? Probably you think it's a little bit more complicated than just going out and finding them myself. Just like the person that first responded, yeah, you could be in a relationship and be pretty lonely. One is the loneliest number that you ever know

So I can see where I push back. I don't let those people that start showing those red flags real close, which can be a good thing, especially when you have a habit of accepting just anyone. It's a good thing that I'm recognizing those things. But I guess my standard is going to be very high because of the things that I value, which is honoring my soul, but at the same time does get lonely. So yeah, it could go both ways on that one

And there isn't a right or wrong, your tribe is going to look differently because it's going to be who your soul is attracted to based on how they treat you, based on how they live, based on the decisions that they make for their own life as well. People who will support you no matter which road you decide to travel. So I'm very proud of you. It's not easy work to do

If I spend too much time with a large group of people, I just get overloaded, because I try to give everyone a little bit of attention. But when you do that, you just deplete yourself so much. And like you said, you're always really helping people. You're always trying to expand your network and use your resources to the benefit of others, which is a beautiful thing. It's amazing

You. Thank you so much for this. Your support is always, always valued, as is your input, so I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Yeah, it is, like, serious work. And you're so right. You said something that was really important, that it's both parts. Working cohesively is what really makes it's like teamwork makes the dream work, right? It's like working on yourself mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, all the things all at once

You. You mentioned something so beautiful here that I really wanted to take the time to honor and appreciate. You said, I'm really proud of the person that I've grown into. And just the fact that you can vocalize that is huge. Because most of us, even though we do the work and we work on ourselves to be a better version of ourselves or to accept ourselves on a greater level even, and those around us maybe don't accept us for who we are

And it is not an easy road to walk to have to step away from a marriage or an intense relationship where, you know, you're being disrespected and where you are not being treated or seen as worthy. And that comes from the mouth of someone who has been in many of those situations in the past. Well, not many because I haven't dated a whole bunch of people, but I have been in those situations in the past, and it is intense

It. I forgot to tell you. Thank you for saying that you like my laugh. It actually made me laugh when you said that. Yeah, that was very kind of you. I appreciate you so much, and I'm glad that I can contribute to any form of joy in your daily life. I do appreciate everyone on here as well

But like I said, I'm new here and I got so much to learn in my life. I'm 60 years old. I have the mentality of a person that have knowledge. I've been around, I've seen a lot, a lot. But I'm still learning. I'm trying to go back to school. I'm trying to get my life together. I try to help out. I got a good job, I got good friends. But I'm always alone

If you know that you've changed and you're doing your best to become a better version of yourself, then sometimes in that process, you are going to lose people. But I guess my point of view of it is that if you lost someone because you're bettering yourself, then they're not actually for you in the first place, no matter what their relationship was to you

Thank you so much. You have a good night. I appreciate your kind words, and hopefully we'll speak again on another note. Good night

Um, couple of things that really stand out to me as I was listening to your conversation and a few of those were looking at our needs, looking at our expectations, looking at the people that are our cheerleaders, looking at all of that stuff in a deeper level and an internal type of level
Carly D
@Astroality · 1:32
The list will happen for our highest good and ultimately for the highest good of everyone around us. Because the better we take care of ourselves, the better we can show up for the world at large. And I believe that it helps us tap into our potential that we don't even know about or that we're not even aware of. So thank you so much for this. I do appreciate you taking the time to respond. You always have so many wise words to share

And when I started learning about her, I started learning about how to connect with my emotions and leanne my needs. So if you haven't heard her, I would recommend you going to listen to her. But if you have, I definitely hear it in your voice. So, again, thank you for the invite, and thank you for letting me be a part of your soul community. And I absolutely love this app. So thanks

It's been a life change, changing experience in just a few months. So welcome again. Always feel welcome to grab a seat. Even if for some reason I don't invite you to something, you are always welcome to talk. You are always welcome to share your wisdom and your insight. Have a beautiful rest of your day

Um, and I've needed it to. Something in me just couldn't. And my life was a good life, but after the life of my daughter was ended, I just couldn't go on the same way I was. And I couldn't, in this time, support others in the way that I was. I couldn't even do the job that I was doing before. For a while, I couldn't turn left out of my neighborhood
But she's doing better and she's going to therapy and she's on medication and all the different things, and she's just walking home and she's struck in the middle of the night, just doesn't come home. And it takes something from you. And this isn't our first blow, so it's been hard. And you start to think that God or the world is against you. So we really needed these signs

And, um, I'm sending you so much supportive, encouraging energy at this moment, so much peaceful energy. Thank you for being a part of my community. You are truly appreciated and valued by
