š Weekly self reviews (10 minutes)
What did I release this week?
What improved?
What felt aligned?
What do I need to adjust?
Her eyes
Like a window to heaven
I might be intrigued by the way she feels familiar
An old friend Iāve always laughed with
Yet I wonder what you look like with no clothes on under darkness
She likes me. I like her too.
Maybe the ice will melt in time
For my heart to feel hers
You are sexually attracted to people who mirror your childhood wounds (neuroscience + how to rewrite your attraction)
What society loves to call chemistry is rarely compatibility but neurobiology replaying an old emotional pattern. The brain wires its blueprint for love in early childhood, long before you ever date anyone. If you grew up with inconsistency, emotional distance, criticism, unpredictability, or a parent whose moods you had to manage, your nervous system learned to pair survival activation with connection. The amygdala stored that discomfort as familiar, the hippocampus tied it to love and the dopamineācortisol loop became your baseline for it. So when you meet someone for example whoās hot and cold, avoidant, or emotionally unpredictable, your limbic system fires up with adrenaline, cortisol, and dopamine because thatās what your childhood trained you to crave. Your nervous system misreads this activation as attraction
Healthy, secure people activate the opposite system. The prefrontal cortex and the ventral vagal pathway which in short is the networks of clarity, safety, emotional regulation, and long term bonding. But if your body is wired for chaos, that calmness doesnāt feel right. It feels boring like āsomething is missingā simply because stability doesnāt trigger your survival chemistry. Your body has never learned how to interpret that silence as desire
Attraction is fully rewritable so when you start regulating your nervous system you lower chronic cortisol and strengthen the prefrontal cortex and your vagus nerve becomes more responsive, your baseline shifts out of hypervigilance, and suddenly you stop bonding with people who destabilize you. The spark you once felt with avoidant or inconsistent partners begins to fade because your body is no longer addicted to the dopamine withdrawal cycle. And the emotionally available person starts to feel genuinely attractive. This applies to everything by the way. Our general interests, likes and dislikes. They are all a reflection of our internal chemistry. So once our chemistry starts to change, so does everything else. How we dress, what colors we likes, our hobbies etc. There are a lot of stereotypical generic examples out there that I see on social media, and while they can sound annoying, there is underlining scientific truth to it. Have you ever heard a therapist or someone in a similar field say that are our interests , actions etc everything even our micro expressions tells a person everything about our internal state. Itās true. Because if a person felt, or was doing x then that would mean that their interests or how they feel about themselves would line up with certain things. And literally thatās how you begin to understand whatās real or not. If the person is telling you the truth about who they are or not etc
I digress
This is what real healing looks like: your attraction slowly moves from the limbic systemās trauma loops into the steadiness of a regulated nervous system. You stop craving the person who activates your wounds, and you begin desiring the person who can actually hold you. Itās the moment your body stops repeating the past and finally chooses a future that supports your peace
So the first step is pausing when you feel that intense pull to someone. As you incorporate habits that lower your baseline cortisol, the people who destabilize you naturally lose their appeal because your body is no longer fueled by chaos. At the same time, you have to break the dopamineāwithdrawal cycle that makes avoidant partners feel addictive. Mute them, stop checking their social media and replace that craving with daily dopamine wins like movement, finishing tasks, healthy meals and emotional regulation. Slowly exposing yourself to safe teaches your nervous system that safety can feel good too. You rebuild inner safety by keeping your word, setting boundaries, creating structure, and proving to yourself youāre someone you can trust. Your body will start desiring peace instead of chaos and kindness becomes attractive in a way instability never was. Thereās grief in letting go of the old pattern. Yes itās not easy. Especially if youāre not emotionally grounded. But that grief is what frees your attraction. Eventually youāll feel your body relax around healthy people and tighten around unhealthy ones. You guys often hear me say āgrossā regarding toxic scenarios. Thatās because toxic things seriously gross me out. I want it no where near me. I donāt find it the least bit attractive at all. Itās disgusting and not cute or funny to me in anyway. Thatās when you know youāve rewired your attraction. When your heart stops craving the wound and starts wanting the person who can actually hold you, which I know itās something everyone secretly wants in their search for love. So you can do yourself the favor of rewiring your nervous system or you can choose to continue to be unhappy and unfulfilled. But ultimately the responsibility falls on you. If you really want it. Be honest with yourself

Why you should be more selfish
I think a lot of people arenāt selfish enough. And I donāt mean the ābad selfishā like being greedy, entitled, lacking compassion for others, using people etc I mean the good selfish⦠where you prioritize your well being, your peace, your future instead of constantly pouring from an empty cup
Most of us were taught that selflessness is the highest virtue, that putting others before ourselves is what makes us āgood.ā Then thereās the manipulative tactics from others that come with it, making matters worse emotionally and physically for you. You canāt show up for anyone else if youāre drained or living a life that doesnāt feel like your own
Good selfishness means you say no to things that drain your energy even if others donāt understand or get upset. It means choosing your HEALTH over convenience. It means walking AWAY from relationships that disrespect your worth. Protecting your time like the precious resource it is⦠because IT IS. Investing in your growth, even if others call it indulgent (the better you get, the more you can pour into and inspire others)
When you practice this kind of selfishness, you actually become more generous because youāre giving from a place of fullness. Youāre modeling what it means to honor yourself & that gives others permission to do the same. If itās one thing Iāve seen across the board that affects people the most, itās not the lack of, or the support, itās that they are simply unaware that certain realities and things can exist aside from their own (no fault to them of course)
So no, youāre not a bad person for choosing yourself. Youāre simply practicing a higher level of responsibility & self respect that says that you matter too āØ
All about me this season
ā
Every time they remind me that my ex has moved on feels like Iām going through the break up again
The most painful part about life is the ability to love someone who will abandon you time and again
When you left
I lost more than a friend
I lost faith in love
Iām generally generous but my therapist told me āwhy are you scared of being selfish? Youāre putting everybody first and they putting themselves firstā

We have three brains: The head brain, the gut and the heart.
š§ Head (Brain): This is where our logic, intellect, and conscious thought processes are centered. Despite its importance, 90% of our behavior is influenced by our unconscious mind.
How to take care:
š§ Do activities that stimulate your brain, such as puzzles, reading, learning new skills, or practicing mindfulness meditation. These activities can help improve cognitive function and maintain brain health.
š§ Healthy nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and managing stress are crucial for brain health. Physical health directly impacts your cognitive abilities and mental clarity.
š§ Keep your brain active by learning new things regularly. This could involve hobbies, courses, or activities that challenge and stimulate your intellect.
š½ļøĀ Gut: Often referred to as our "second brain," the gut produces a significant amount of serotonin, which plays a crucial role in mood regulation and overall emotional management.
How to take care:
š½ļøĀ Eat a diet rich in fiber, fruits, vegetables, and probiotics (like yogurt or kefir) to promote a healthy gut microbiome. Avoid excessive sugar and processed foods.
š½ļøĀ Drink plenty of water throughout the day to support digestion and overall gut function.
š½ļøĀ Stress can negatively impact your gut health. Practice stress reduction techniques like deep breathing, yoga, or meditation to maintain a healthy gut-brain axis.
ā¤ļø Heart: The heart has neural pathways that communicate with the brain, suggesting a bidirectional flow of information. This connection emphasizes the role of emotions, intuition, and feelings in our decision making and overall cognitive processes.
How to take care:
ā¤ļø Maintain positive relationships, express your emotions constructively, and engage in activities that bring you happiness and fulfillment.
ā¤ļø Regular exercise not only benefits the heart but also helps manage your emotions by releasing endorphins and reducing stress.
ā¤ļø Take time for your self care activities that nurture your emotional and psychological health.
Cognitive Techniques To Change Your Thoughts āØāØ
Cognitive techniques are strategies used in cognitive therapy to help you identify and change negative thoughts and beliefs. These techniques should be practiced regularly so that they become habits.
Cognitive Restructuring: This involves identifying and challenging negative or irrational thoughts and replacing them with more positive or rational beliefs.
Thought Stopping: When you notice a negative thought entering your mind, you can mentally shout "Stop!" This interrupts the thought process and gives you a chance to replace the negative thought with a positive one.
Mindfulness and Meditation: These practices help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings in the present moment. When you observe your thoughts without judgment, you gain insight into negative patterns and choose to let them go.
Journaling: Writing down your thoughts can help you process and analyze them. With time you can identify patterns and work on changing negative thought cycles.
Positive Affirmations: Repeating positive statements can help counteract negative self talk and reinforce positive beliefs about yourself.
Evidence Collection: When faced with a negative belief, ask yourself, "What evidence do I have that supports or refutes this thought?" This can help you see things in a more balanced way.
Decatastrophizing: If you tend to imagine the worst scenario, ask yourself how likely it is to happen and what other possible outcomes there might be. This can help you view situations more realistically.
Labeling: Instead of saying "I am a failure," label the thought as "a negative thought about my abilities."
Distraction: Engaging in an activity or hobby can divert your attention from negative thoughts and give your mind a break.
Scheduling Worry Time: Instead of ruminating on worries throughout the day, set aside a specific time to process them. This can prevent constant worry and allow you to focus on other tasks.
Challenging Cognitive Distortions: Recognize and challenge cognitive distortions like black-and-white thinking, overgeneralization, and personalization.
Visual Imagery: Visualize a place or situation where you feel calm and happy. This can help shift your focus from negative thoughts.
These are very simple descriptions and examples of cognitive techniques. I listed the ones we can put into practice on our own. There are more in depth methods and practices used by doctors on different fields of study and practice. I can list, as well as add upon the information listed here.
