Back in nature until October. It has been going from hard downpour rain to light rain today. Just love the smells that come out after and during the rain.

Anger blinds good people. Its being fed with misinformation by leaving out key bits of truth, by over exaggeration, and manipulating the core values of democracy soldiers fought for and keep fighting for. While we are fed with manipulated truths and have lost the ability of critical thinking.

Its designed to be this way. An emotional trigger which activates the nervous system relaying and determining it to be a threat. It's believed as a threat to everyday living and values. It all happens within seconds. And once this reaction has been enabled, it creates a path within our nervous system by the way of mirror neurons..so each time this is seen, heard or experienced mirror neurons say this is the outcome.

Its not ego, its not intuition, it is cleverly designed to create this reaction so it can be shared and repeated.

And it feeds the anger and belief its good, fighting for truth and sharing truth.

Critical thinking asks is this true? Are all the facts correct? If I don't know, can I access the truth?

Does it mean the source who shared it first is bad or wrong? It just means the intention of activating the anger response within, while manipulating the truth, has been achieved.

What it does do over time is change values. Imposing a new set of views and because others within the same circle are adopting them, it must be true.

Anger blinds good people. Democracy was created and built on values of respect, equality, fairness, freedom, empathy, diversity. To protect this democracy there needs to be guidelines which reflects constitutions or charter of rights.

This is what our grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts, our family fought for. Its also why democracy is delicate and can be easily taken away. It's currently being witnessed in real time.

Without critical thinking and being able to ask is what I'm seeing or hearing true? And then sharing it, helping it to lightning speed through the information net of technology. It feeds anger. Anger blinds good people.

A year ago, when I took the training to become a Transformational Life Coach, 2 things were important to me. To help others understand what survival mode is and shift this, and secondly, proper training to do so to be competent as well as confident. Receiving the certificate showed me how to turn life experiences into helping others heal. It filled me with such joy knowing I could provide this.

Full transparency...what I soon learned interviewing potential clients was that I didn't have the training to effectively guide someone through self regulation. Truthfully I wasn't fully self regulated.

So I signed up for a trauma informed program based in neuro science and went through it from beginning to end, twice. Once for myself. The second to do the work to become the coach I know I can be and want to be in a self regulated body.

Since deciding to shift into this work that means so much to me, it has been incredible how quickly the transformations have happened. As well as the guidance & teachers to get there.

I'm forever grateful I clicked on ad and joined the community of almost 21,000 coaches worldwide. Also Dr Eric Gentry's, PhD trauma informed training.

What has both impressed and intrigued me is their transparency and humility. Both are very honest about their history, background and how they continue to educate & train themselves to be of service for others. Dr Gentry writes and mentions in his videos how he knows he hurt people for 15yrs before seeking out the necessary knowledge. This continues to drive & humiliate him to continue seeking knowledge & training others competently.

I didn't want to hurt people nor think my experiences alone could help heal others. It wasn't about confidence. It was about competency.

Soon I'll be taking interviews again to help others heal through my Transcend Your Trauma program.

Thank you for reading this. I look forward to being of service to you.

Putting up a tree and placing Christmas decorations on it is fun, exciting, the beginnings of feeling the warmth and bringing up the memories of food, keeping people guessing with the carefully chosen gift wrap hiding their gift. Giving at its highest and most felt is during the holidays.

This is what we want Christmas to be.

The reality can be this is conflicted with the experiences that also say "make this go quickly", "I can only handle being in same space with these people for a little while". Wanting it to be different but its a continuation of same behaviour, conversation, and it can be either explosive or become non communicative and withdraw.

So what can you do? Write down what triggers you about the season. When these triggers are identified, ask why is this a trigger? It may not be related to Christmas or the people in the room. It's often assumed it is, it isn't always though.

Identifying triggers can help see the behaviour, response, language and then you have a choice of either asking why did I do & say that? Or blaming and contuing to say " this always happens ".

Looking at triggers without judgement provides the safety of feeling what you feel, letting yourself feel what you feel and getting to the root of what really triggers you.

It may not be how someone laughs or how loud they are. It just may be loud sounds are a trigger because as a child the slamming door you heard meant a parent was angry.

Does the holiday season bring up triggers for you?
What are they?

For me I see this as a day of giving thanks for what I do have, gratitude for the memories & growth I've gained from the family experiences. Not always pleasant, they weren't all bad experiences either. There was always food though and a gratitude to have a feast we could share and eat.

I also acknowledge we weren't given the correct historical accuracy to why we celebrate this day, as it jaded many of us and created an unnecessary division and view of who really lived on this land first. My wish is that we continue to learn and be open to learning from indigenous people. For me, I'm grateful I had an older brother who came from the Metis tribe in Saskatchewan as it reminded me his roots were deeper in this country than mine. And it made me want to learn more about his heritage, which I was a little bit jealous of to be honest.

However you celebrate or see this day. I give thanks for having you come across this post and reading it.
