WHAT DEFINES YOU? We're More Than Just Our Physical Bodies

Opening ourselves up and truly exposing who we are can be scary. We find it difficult to honestly express our insecurities and fears. We stuff our feelings deep down inside and wear a mask on our face that says to the world, 'I’m fine.' We live behind walls and avoid being vulnerable.
But to fully feel love and connection, we need to be vulnerable. Vulnerability connects us. It is a great gift we give to another person, when we let them see all of who we are. And this opens the door for them to share all of themselves with us too.

Really helpful to me. When I was widowed 5 years ago at 58, I didn't want to be that name on my family members or friends cell ID that evoked "Oh, what does SHE want now?" so my mantra became "I have to be self-sufficient now." It's been terribly isolating. I should re-imagine myself, I think. Thank you, Mr. Okeyo and Green Renaissance.

[@eshackleton8248]

Jenna, I applaud your thinking. Since young, I realized that not all people have altruistic hearts so I became very self sufficient and self reliant. No family member or friend can help us long term and it always reverts back to our grit and foresight to move forward. My best wishes to you.

You are right, re-imagine yourself. When you get up take note of God's love for us...we can get up off our beds, we could see, we could feel the air, we could hear the sounds around...what a blessing. My granpa passed last month at 93, and he was not sick at all. He would walk read papers play with his dogs everyday until that last day...and he said to me, never stop interacting with others, laugh & go out...connect with friends. It really ammazed me the variety of age group of ppl he interacted with. These videos are a reminder of his words to me...

I was in tears 45 seconds in. Danielson is so articulate. The way he talks about reaching for hope like a vapor...how confusing it is when something you identified with as so solid is no longer there...how life invited him to literally enter into the place of his past trauma as what would now be his path to healing. What a powerful reminder of how our pain can be the door into a new kind of freedom. I love how he referred to the people in his little community of loved ones as lights in darkness, and how much this film speaks to embracing the exact life we have and finding the beauty and invitations in it. Thank you for introducing us to him. And thank you, Danielson, for your generosity in sharing the priceless wisdom you have gained.

[@inchxinchlifesasynch]

This happened to me too... this happened to me too. First it happened in London in a swimming pool. I swam out of depression and the need to swim was like a call. I went to water as if being led there by something outside of myself never having been much fond of swimming before. I had to have silence away from man made clamour and I dove underwater to hear silence. Later when I moved as quickly as I could AWAY from city clamour I painted pictures of the sea and wished to be there. I wished and wished until one day I had the chance to live near a warm sea and I have swum in the big turquoise every weekend for 10 years and it is the single most restoring thing I can do above all else. The sea soothes, caresses, and holds me in its arms as I were a baby and sometimes the sea is playful and every swim is different. If I cry whilst swimming the tears become as nothing in the vast swell and turn into tears of joy and my pains and aches are away like magic and I laugh at myself. Afterwards there is transcendent calm. Food tastes better and there is real appetite and my sleep is as deep as the ocean itself. Blessed is the sea.

And then BOOM, at 35, it hit me as rheumatoid arthritis disease and that brought on fibromyalgia and diabetes. What an emotional roller coaster. I could no longer be super woman or super mom. Always on the go. Always a full schedule. Always getting things done. I went through most of the stages he went through. I am who I was meant to be. I am not my body. I am not my diagnosis. I am a spirit. I have a soul. Yet, I appreciate and marvel at my body despite my illness and dis-ease, my body is still functioning to the best of its ability. I am grateful for that.

As he felt the connection between the nature and our souls while he was floating on tge ocean i had that realization while looking at the early morning sky, The rising sun,clouds,trees dancing with the wind took me to a level somewhere i can love anyone or anything on this earth I forgot my identity as a human being I felt that we all are parts of this huge sourse,the mother nature💐💐💐💐

Im so enriched by these beautiful people in each story. This man has overcome his fears in such a deep beautiful natural way. And became the man he was meant to be. Thank you ❤

There are many injured and retired rugby players that should listen to this. A game where your thinking is driven by excelling in physical ability. Yes, the mental side of the sport is a key feature, but you define yourself (and others define you) by your speed and strength, in various combinations. When that identity is ripped away an empty husk of a person remains. My wish is for every ex-rugby player to hear this 🙏

[@ReflectionsofLife]

That would be amazing - we think that it applies to so many things in life, not only after injuries, but also many people who retire can end up feeling lost and alone. The ocean is a wonderful healer 💚 Michael and Justine

[@SuzannesSimpleLiving]

Beautiful film…we truly need to except ourselves however we are and as we change through out our lives, especially when there are things that we can no longer do. 😊🇬🇧💕

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Well said Suzanne - when we learn to adapt, we can grow. Nothing is forever. Warm hugs. Justine and Michael 💚

[@susanhardy2689]

This has been a simple but a favourite video, his voice captures you Xx

[@ReflectionsofLife]

Thanks Susan, for taking time to watch and listen. 💚

[@julienelson8162]

This is for everyone, including those of us who are of vintage age. Parts deteriorate, but that doesn’t have to change who we ARE.

[@ReflectionsofLife]

So true, outwards we change, age, get wrinkles, deteriorate,... But that doesn’t change our character, our inner beauty,... Thank you for sharing these thoughts with us Julie. Warm wishes, Justine and Michael. 💚

This is like what happened when I got chronic fatigue, and have had to take medical leave for work. I also had a big breakup at the same time. Very dysregulated, my is life is changed forever. I am healing but can never go back to my old life, any part of it really. I was very definied by that old life too. Its OK to go into Hermit mode at some points in your life. Reset and readjust, cut out the noise of the world and opinions of others. I love this healing you have done in the ocean, reconnecting with self and nature at the same time. The beauty of acceptance and wholeness found in solitude. 💞

[@ReflectionsofLife]

We send you love as you find your way back to acceptance. May you shine your light. 💚

[@TheOnileva]
