BS, I know lazy people. lazy is in the head, not a physical thing.

Thank you for that talk Dan! I have had a long standing dance with fear and it can be so very tiring. I feel mine came from childhood trauma , not laying blame on my parents, just an observation. Learning about the fight, flight, freeze and fawn was very helpful for me as I was definitely in fight and flight, panic being my constant sidekick. I came across and author, Dr Claire Weekes , who's books helped in my journey to start my healing process from panic. Learning , sharing, shinning light in the dark rooms together is what brings healing!

Damn nuka

I love this!! Certainly, some concepts to ponder as I'd never considered this perspective, but I have always identified as a Black Sheep. Thanks for continuing to show up authentically ❤

It's a terrible thing to have. People just can't believe how terribly sick and hurting you can be without it being visible. Friends, companions, loved ones end up leaving because they just don't see it. It is one of the hardest things ever to stick by someone when they don't understand what's wrong, "you look fine how can you be that sick"

Absolutely my honor. Thank you

Beautiful ❤ thank you for your service

Hi Dan- thank you for always being so authentic! Ross Lake is so beautiful. How do you even get there? I love your black sheep analogy and story. You have faced (and overcome much). You inspire me my good friend! I love your point: be a black sheep! It is a gift! And yes! Your message Dan is important and you are too!

Beautifully said Dan. This world could do with more empathy and understanding to those who suffer. Life can be hard enough on its own, but to live it while being ill, and that not being recognized, would be hard. I honor those who are going through this.

👍

Thank you for speaking about this topic. It's exhausting to have to constantly remind people of my limitations and heart breaking to hear comments they sometimes say without having any idea about what I've been going through for 2 decades.

So good to hear from you. That's so cool that you have been reprogramming thought patterns, it's challenging, and rewarding work. Very happy to see you here.

Dan your video definitely resonates with me. Coming into being fully authentic is an interesting journey. Allowing myself to be who I am is both wonderful and uncomfortable. I have boundaries and am quite selective as to who shares my space with me. It's also showing up for myself and changing my inner dialogue to what is in my best interests rather than the best interests of others. Getting to know me, and not who I am supposed to be! Thank you Dan!

Thanks, Dan! I have been doing a lot of unlearning of old thought patterns and relearning new ones. I see my screen name is Steve French lol, it's me Cindy from the Rhodes life coach course!

Thank you, Dan! Perspective is EVERYTHING! Just yesterday I had a huge perspective change and it was indeed magical! It's freedom

I would love to hear your thoughts about FEAR: fear of failure, but also the fear of success. Thanks!

Thank you. I needed to hear that today.

You make an incredibly great point. Helping me get out of my rut 🙏🏾

❤❤❤❤

Thanks for sharing, Dan! It's a good reframing of the black sheep to embrace uniqueness/ diversity as we live it!

Tha black sheep are the most beautiful people! Hurrah to all black sheep that give all the chance to get “out of the box” with their amazing thought provoking uniqueness!

Wow, so true! Every accomplishment, every “do” IS a relief, it’s the “non-completion” that is exhausting. Also the daunting/exhausting feeling of too many accomplishments TO complete. I feel that is where the “small step” theory kicks in. Start with thinking what can I do, right now, the simplest of tasks, to start reminding ourselves that yes, that feels good! That instant satisfaction moment or “HA, I conquered that!” moment. For example the pile on my counter, every day I walk by it I think “dam I should just deal with that pile”, then exhausting as the pile still sits there tomorrow. OR “dam I’m dealing with this pile now!” sense of satisfaction, no exhausting thought on said pile tomorrow. Like your dishes theory. Do we like to be exhausted or something? My dam pile’s still there! 😂 Awesome thought processing!

This makes so much sense... thank you for sharing. Yes, 100% agree with you, we are all unique and that is the beauty of life. ❤❤❤

❤❤❤❤ Love this

Loved your message today and it resonates with me for sure! Have been putting off also putting myself out there on the internet in my own ways and it feels great seeing and hearing your go for it!
