Healing Through Compassion and Intentionality: A Journey of Rewiring My Mind

This morning, I had a profound session with my therapist, which opened up a deep conversation about anxiety and its roots in my childhood. We delved into how moving around a lot as a child has contributed to my constant sense of anxiety. As we explored this, I realized that this feeling of instability, always being on the move, has left an imprint on how I experience the world—sometimes making me feel unsettled, even in moments of calm.

But one of the most beautiful insights that came from our discussion was about compassion.

My therapist helped me see how my compassion for others, the ability to understand the struggles that many humans go through, is actually one of my strengths.

It allows me to connect, to empathize, and to feel deeply for others. It's a double-edged sword though—it’s easy to get lost in these emotions, but at the same time, they hold the potential to be incredibly healing, both for myself and for others.

He reminded me of something essential: everything will work itself out. What matters most is restoring integrity in my life—showing up powerfully in every situation and being intentional with how I spend my time, shape my thoughts, and engage with the world around me. This isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving through mindfulness and purpose.

One of the key takeaways from our conversation was that it's time to rewire my brain. My old patterns of thinking, while perhaps protective at one time, are no longer serving me. They’ve become outdated scripts that only fuel my anxiety. Instead, it’s time to consciously shift my mindset and create new patterns that support who I am today and where I want to go.

In this journey, my therapist introduced me to a therapeutic approach called Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS is fascinating—it sees the mind as a collection of subpersonalities or "parts," each with its own voice and role. These parts can sometimes be in conflict, but through compassionate self-awareness, we can begin to heal and integrate them. I’m eager to dive into this and learn more about how it can help me further understand the internal dynamics that have shaped my anxiety.

Ultimately, the path forward is clear: keep restoring integrity, show up powerfully, and be intentional with my time and thoughts. This journey is about embracing compassion—not just for others, but for myself as I work to rewire my mind and heal the parts of me that are still holding onto old fears.

If you’re struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in old patterns, or want to deepen your self-awareness, it’s time to take action. Look into resources like Internal Family Systems (IFS), invest in your mental health, and commit to showing up powerfully in your own life.

What steps are you taking today to rewire your thinking and restore balance?

For me Wim Hof Breathing has helped and being able to take a look around the park certainly does the trick.

Share your thoughts in the comments or message me to continue the conversation—let’s support each other on this journey.
