MILITARY CHECK POINTS


This morning I learned that majority of the husbands away for training have in fact, been able to stay in contact with their wives via internet such as email and/or Facebook. I do not know the details or the extent of such a luxury, but I can tell you, I have not been one of them. It would be very easy for both ego and anxiety to take the wheel and drive this mental bus right off the cliff of fear. But as I have blogged about before and learned throughout my Life Caching Certifications, fear is a damn liar. As a military wife, I see it all too often that we are each quick to compare lives, stories, and husband's. That would be a grave mistake. I am much older than most inside this community, so I work my ass off trying to lead by example and rock that "big sister" vibe. Today would be one of those times.
Before getting lost inside the "he doesn't really love me" merri-go-round thoughts of pure suck, it is important to PAUSE. The pause button is everything. Pause is what drives my bus. It has to be in this life! With so much separation you need to not only stand firm in your confidence within yourself, but within the perimeters of your marriage. For a brief moment this morning, my heart fell heavy and I started to allow my mind to convince me of things simply not true. So I hit "pause." I tapped into what I KNOW, not the story we tell ourselves. I tuned into the reality of the situation and truly remembered WHO my husband is, how he shows love, how he receives love, and all his personality traits. Like, the fact that his cell phone sits with over 12,000 unread emails that date back to 2014. One of my favorite quotes that I spit out occasionally is "remember who you are." So I said to myself, "remember who WE are." Now is the time to create healthy habits. Deployments are long, but marriages are longer.
To all my MILSO sisters: Do not get lost in the shuffle of the community gossip and stay true to the fact that you know his soul. I promise, no matter what, he is missing you.
....and I too, shall re-read this a couple more times today.

WHERE DO YOU RESIDE?

There is this place called "All-About-Me-Ville" and it's growing population is astounding. I should know, I was nestled there for years. I lived right on the corner of Self Ave. and Centered Drive. (LOL) Okay, so you see where i am going with today's blog. Here's the real deal - I moved out of that zone about a year ago. It took several steps for me to officially awaken and grasp the concept of what life would be like if I took a bow on the stage of lif e and allowed the spot light to shine onto someone else's performance for a while. Truth be told, it was the most freeing sensation I have ever experienced!!!! The irony today is that I run into individuals that still patrol those streets on the daily and I cannot help but bounce back and forth between dumbfounded and frustrated. Not sure if you're one of the residents? Or perhaps you wonder if you have crossed paths with a narcissist? Here is how you can tell: 1) Do you find yourself having to repeat...

ARE YOU AN INTUITIVE EMPATH?

SIGNS YOU ARE "AN INTUITIVE EMPATH" 1) You can feel other people's emotions, but you have full awareness that they are not your own. 2) You can see beyond a person's feelings and instinctively understand the larger picture and what's truly behind their emotions. 3) You often help others better understand their own feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. 4) You are typically everyone's "go-to" for counseling & advice in your daily routine. 5) You are naturally hyper-sensitive. 6) You physically cannot stand to witness suffering in others. 7) You may not be comfortable in large groups, as all that energy is overwhelming. 8) Physical symptoms appear after emotionally intense situations. 9) You are basically a human lie detector. 10) You grow uncomfortable around those that are being inauthentic.
