89. Confessions need Solutions.... Check for underlying feelings.

Nkiru the Love Guru comes to bring you advice and affirmations to help you through your journey of healing. We will talk about issues that heal the inner child, the wounded teenager and the anxious/avoidant adult. We dive deeper into understanding concepts on how to work through the potential trauma that could have existed due to the abandonment and misunderstanding of these three. Nkiru confesses her shortcomings and look for active ways to fix the issues that we all deal with in this life. After taking accountability and confessing our problems, we must then take the accountability to do the work to remedy the issues discovered. We lean on the bible for encouragement and to see what it says about our issues. Together we hope these small steps will help cultivate active solutions to the problems we are overcoming.

This month's lesson plan topic: Emotional Awareness & Regulation

The inner child: Notice when your emotional reactions feel disproportionate to the current situation. If you feel overwhelmed by feelings of fear, sadness, or anger without a clear present cause, it could be your inner child reacting to past unmet needs.

The wounded teenager: If you react defensively to criticism or perceived rejection, it could be your wounded teenager who experienced rejection, isolation, or judgment in adolescence.

The anxious/avoidant adult: If you frequently feel torn between wanting closeness and pushing people away, you may be dealing with an anxious-avoidant emotional pattern. This often stems from early attachment experiences where you were either rejected (avoidant) or overly dependent on others (anxious).

Today's Affirmation: I am aware of the patterns in my emotions and choose to respond with clarity and understanding.

I recognize recurring emotional patterns and gently explore their roots to foster healing and growth.

With each emotion, I honor the opportunity to learn from my feelings and create healthier, more balanced responses.

Today's Question: What triggers these emotional responses repeatedly, and how can I change my approach to those triggers for a healthier outcome? How do these emotional patterns reflect my beliefs about myself, and what would it take to shift them towards a more positive and empowering perspective?
