Wow, it is scary how every word in this meditation rung truth for me. For me that quiet moment of stopping over functioning came about a year ago where I couldn't go any longer. Those were dark times. I survived. I'm letting myself grief for what I have done to myself through over functioning and I'm starting to feel hope these days. Thank you for making this talk!

Thank you. I so resonated. While I walked away from over functioning or it was enforced upon me to walk away, I am finding it challenging to ground towards myself and be ok with spaciousness.

This is powerful and makes me feel afraid because I resonate with each sentence so deeply. I listened once then immediately I listened again. Now I will sit quietly in stillness. Choosing me! Even though it's uncomfortable even though I feel anxiousness deep inside my stomach and chest. Thank you so much and know that this has been helped me begin again and do my life differently. Moment by moment breath by breath. I will keep coming back.šŸ™šŸ¼šŸŒ€šŸ’•

Thank you Vanessa šŸ™šŸ» Your talk felt deeply reassuring and validating... almost like it embraced a part of me and filled a gap I’ve been trying to understand for more than four years. I’ve known that I’ve been overwhelmed by what I’ve gone through and what I’m still navigating. As I learn to become more compassionate and lovingly kind toward myself, I’m beginning to see how that also radiates outward. At the same time, I’m learning to accept that some circumstances, people, and their behaviors are simply just beyond my control, yet within my influence. ā€œOverfunctioningā€ was the word that finally encapsulated so much of what I’ve been feeling throughout these years. Discovering this talk feels like finding a treasure... it validates what I’ve experienced, what I’ve felt, and what I’ve had to let go of. Understanding overfunctioning has given me a greater sense of agency and autonomy. I may not control everything around me, but I can choose how I respond, where I place my energy with the character I cultivate moving forward. From this moment on, I feel more capable of shaping the direction of my own life. My character determines destiny. Gratitude for you. šŸ™šŸ»āœØ
