Acknowledging My Growth Regarding Anger

This is some journaling I did before a Live event I hosted here on Insight Timer. It acknowledges the growth I've achieved in shedding my angry identity since starting on my mindfulness journey. I begin by talking about how this came about and then my process behind sharing. Then I talk about my childhood and past and share some insights there about limiting beliefs and how they shaped me. Next I share about finding the right mental health program and routine and schedule and how I used mindfulness to change my habits and be able to show up for all of you here on Insight Timer.

I would also like to thank my fellow Insight Timer teachers Anisha Maheshwari and Shauna Rae. Anisha for inspiring me during her Live and Shauna for holding space for me to write during her Live.

The vulnerability you shared in your message Caitlin is incredible . You have certainly come a long way and have touched and inspired so many with your letter and I especially liked you describing the card pulls you did before deciding to read your letter .
I am grateful for you and insight timer

I really appreciate your honesty. It’s helpful to hear. This is very touching. I listened to your live today first time and thanks to you, I immediately I felt like painting (which I’ve been procrastinating on). I’m so glad you are here. 😻👏🏼😻👏🏼🎨💜💜💜

Omgoodness Caitlin! Thank you for being so brave and vulnerable and raw and authentic and open and beautiful and kind and compassionate. I am bookmarking this track to return to when I have more time bc SO MUCH of your experience resonates with me. Girl, you are not alone. It is SO HARD when advocating for yourself means actively exposing your angriest, most shameful parts. Externally, everyone sees happy, loving, outgoing, and under the surface there sits hurt and pain (not cruelty Caitlin, pain). Anyway, I could go on and on but I am out of time. Please know: you are incredible and I am so grateful you shared this part of you. 💞🫂❤️‍🩹🕊️

Beautiful message and very good to know your journey now brings happiness to others- anger makes us exhausted

Caitlin this is so beautiful! You are so wise and such a inspiration!
