Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-in Thursday 30th November 2017
Good morning all!
Following on from Rumple's very timely and helpful thread on "holidays", I was thinking that its also the time of the year when we get bombarded with even more advertising and information. The Inbox is full of this, and the mail box too.Help. we're getting swamped.. this is getting into overload. And its so, we living in the era of "information overload" So much so easily available,so many differeing views , thoughts and ideas. Google PTSD and be prepared to be there for a while. Lots of thoughts and ideas! How can we navigate our way through all of this... what is relevant for us now.. in other words, what fits for us?"
Clayton Christensen, Harvard teacher and author,says " Questions are places in your mind where answers fit.If you haven't asked the question,the answer has nowhere to go.It hits your mind and bounces right off. You have to ask the question - you have to want to know -in order to open up the space for the answer to fit." So when things are right and ready the ideas fit.Just as we may read something here in a check-in, and it may not fit at this point., and we can let it "bounce off." But for someone else it may be what they are ready for.. what they want to know.
"We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that both may give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openess, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion." Max de Pree.

@rozie
How is your day going? Have you be ready to embrace a new idea recently?
Idk am I ready. A day is going well although yesterday was low.. I sometimes wonder do I try too much and instead just relax... I want to try be something more and use my potential... Some of the times I notice when I try less I don't force myself and do things better. Would anything be ever clear?
@conscientiousPineapple1782
Sounds like you have a drive to reach your potential and that's great. But maybe there is a key in not forcing it, in taking it step by step and letting it unfold as you are ready. Idk if its ever clear... sometimes we have more clarity.. but I do think we have an 'inner knowing" that can be our guide if we tap in to this. x
@conscientiousPineapple1782 Sometimes we move forward, sometimes back a bit. This is life. Keep pressing forward at your most comfortable pace. Yes, often when we try too hard we fixate on the wrong things and get nowhere. Just keep trying hon. 
@rozie This GIF sums it up for me ATM.

@BeeLeigh
Yay! end ofthe semester for you Bee. Can't believe you've done that many assignments. .. that's a whole lot of work. Hope you are going to get a well deserved break with naps when you wish, and everything else attended to by a nice volunteer. x
Thanks @rozie! This semester has been crazy! Most of the assignments were writing assignments, or required me to watch things that were over an hour long, or both. I
I love research and new ideas. They provide me with hope even though a certain amount of flexibility is required. Ideas grow, change, stretch and sometimes a more appropriate idea completely contradicts another. I have always believed that as long as people are seeking answers, we havent given up. No matter what the issue, we must keep striving if for no other reason than the intent of altruism and wanting others to be free from suffering. ❤️
