There is no shortage of people who you will find physically beautiful but finding someone who matches the maturity you are looking, for the dedication to grow, the humour that brings you comfort and who feels just right in your arms and life is incredibly unique.” Bardzo wiele cytatów sobie pozaznaczalam, jedynie końcówka mnie nie interesowała tzn dwa ostatnie rozdziały, a tak… ksiazka na pewno bardzo ważna i potrzebna. ❤️ Loving yourself might sound like a mountain you’ll never be able to scale. Or maybe you’ve gone to the other extreme. Maybe after a lifetime of people treating you badly, you’ve decided to love yourself above all others. As you grow, you may find yourself letting go of old ideas or goals. You may even shed old identities. These are simply side effects of clarifying who you really are through the process of freeing yourself from the past and moving intentionally through the present. Strive for progress.

Either way, simply ride the waves of those feelings. Then, in your calmer moments, remind yourself of your intentions and goals for yourself. The book is written in a simple and poetic style, with short sentences and paragraphs that convey profound messages. Perez uses metaphors, analogies, and stories to illustrate his points and to inspire the reader. He also quotes from various sources, such as spiritual teachers, philosophers, poets, and scientists, to support his arguments and to show the universality of his message.Six: you’re able to disagree with others constructively, turning it into a learning experience or conversation rather than a fight or argument. Enter emotional maturity – it is the ability to tell the difference between what we want now and what we need to grow and be happy. It’s about being able to delay gratification and make choices that align with our values and priorities. Self-love may at times feel challenging or counterintuitive, but you truly cannot feel love from others if you don’t first know how to love yourself. You also can’t wait until you’ve healed yourself before you give yourself love. On the contrary, healing is an act of self-love.

There is no shortage of people that you will find physically beautiful, but finding someone who matches the maturity you are looking for, the dedication to grow, the humor that brings you comfort, and someone who just feels right in your arms and life is incredibly unique. Yung Pueblo It also sheds fascinating light on the extent to which our minds are so heavily conditioned based on our past. The brain unconciously bends our perception of reality to meet our expectations or desires, and fills in the gaps based on past experiences: 'Our perception is completely coloured by our past and our reactions seek to repeat themselves endlessly'. Once you’ve calmed down and come to grips with your reaction, you go to your coworker, apologize unconditionally, and declare your intention to behave better in the future. But there’s more. Because now you get to go home to your own child. He’s sitting at the dinner table being told he can’t have dessert until he finishes his veggies. And he’s crying. A rare and insightful journey into the author’s own healing jour­ney will inspire you to let go of the past and find a lighter path forward. As always, yung pueblo speaks truth in such an eloquent way. This book is a true gem.” —Sheleana Aiyana, author of Becoming the One

Combining his healing practices with social justice work is a key indicator that however he calls himself, his is a fresh voice that draws from the spectrum of wisdom traditions in a way that is immediate and accessible, adding to it with a poets sensitivity and the urgency of a prophet. Pueblo focuses on the emphasis of turning your attention inward as a method of healing and creating lasting, authentic and positive long-term change. Confronting ones own mindset and defaults of character is unnerving and requires rigorous honesty. Yet when done thoroughly it reveals the extent to which we project our faults and mistakes onto other people or things. Ultimately, only we are responsible for our own change and growth: 'Deep healing and emotional maturity begin when you turn your attention inward'. Therefore, if we have built up repetitive cycles such as negativity, anger, impatience, cravings or overthinking, we are only solidifying such patterns and enhancing tension. Our brains will continue to react in these ways unless intentionally retrained through strengthening and cultivation, and one way of doing this is through training our minds to observe, as opposed to merely reacting. An enlightening, cathartic book providing accessible insight into personal healing and positive change.

Two: You’re looking at others through a lens of compassion. As you offer yourself love and forgiveness, you recognize the work that others are doing and can give them the same love.Three: You don’t feel the need to avoid uncomfortable feelings. Instead of numbing the pain or running from it, you’re able to ride the waves of your emotions while staying the course of your goals.

People can certainly help you, but it is your intention and effort that will help you evolve past the hurt you carry. p38 Your father didn’t treat you with love when you cried. Wouldn’t it be nice to have had a hug instead of a rebuke? Sometimes what we want is what was lost in childhood. Sometimes we want love from another. Sometimes we want an apology. A new life. A new past. A new parent or spouse or body or home. If you notice these things happening, you’re seeing progress. Now, there’s no magic formula for achieving these things. You can take up any practice you want, whether that’s meditation, yoga, walking in the woods, or whatever makes sense to you. Be with yourself for a little while each day, seek understanding, and help yourself grow. Love your partner second. Lighter is a book that offers a radical and compassionate plan for turning inward and lifting the heaviness that prevents us from healing ourselves and the world. The author, Diego Perez, also known as yung pueblo, is a popular writer and speaker who shares his insights on self-healing, meditation, and social change. He draws from his own personal experience of overcoming drug addiction, anxiety, and depression, as well as his studies of Buddhism, psychology, and sociology. We’ve all been there – admiring someone’s outward appearance, only to realize that beyond the surface there’s not much substance. And while physical attraction can certainly spark the flames of a relationship, it takes much more to keep that fire burning.What Yung Pueblo is getting at here, I believe, is finding someone who truly aligns with your values, who is committed to your growth and self-improvement, and who just feels right in your arms – that is truly a unique and special connection. When you’re able to achieve this practice, you’ll not only experience inner peace, you’ll also experience stronger relationships. Accepting yourself means looking at those truths you’ve discovered through honesty and saying, “I’m human. I did something I’m ashamed of. And I am still worthy of love.” Of course, you still take responsibility for anything you’ve done, but you don’t wallow in self-blame.
