Acting out of Love vs. acting for Love

[patrickvernon]

No one else is seeing these insights and sharing them with regular people. I love her, she is great

[guzmaynard]

I did it Teal, 8years doing the work ended the co dependency relationship (of 30 years), 2 years ago, continue to heal and balance and it's paid off

[JayJay-wgex]

my motivation is often to avoid future conflict or calm my anxiety. avoiding future conflict is a way of avoiding pain.

[maninaschiffl]

I asked myself those and other questions like what is it doing to others when I do or say whatever. I had narcisstic traits, actually borderline paterns. I sometimes got really mean and agressive when I thought it was important for me to get whatever I thought I needed to survive.
Surviving is really all any pattern is all about. Thinking you need someone to give you savety, closeness, love.

I’ve been asking myself these types of questions since I can remember in an effort to know myself and in the past to fix myself.
The reason I started was a codependent motivation. My mom used to always call me selfish. Weird calling a five-year-old selfish.

[scottcooper]

I've let go of the fact that I'm a good person but the same time I'm not saying I'm bad capable of both and I've done both.

[AnnikaBirgittaNordlander]

Why am I doing this? What is my motivation for doing this? What am I hoping the outcome will do? Thank you Teal.

[katev]

Nailed it - it took decades of codependent behavior and my last abuser telling me to stop lying to myself to Wake Up to this. I was truly blind to it. Wondering why 45 years of therapy never taught me THIS??

[sarahjmount]

Unique take on this. It’s all true and really good advice.

[Scrapcams]

I used to see myself Only as bad, and when i found teal this all changed rapidly.

[lorenavincent]

When people talk about the outside is a reflection of whats happening inside is true. Its just difficult to get to the point where we are aware of it. This is a great tip to stop the blindness.

My daily practice🌟This practice is the open gate to everything you have always wanted to learn about the self and why others do what they do. Compassion and understanding is needed so be kind☺️

[jacktheheadedmonster]

Yea, thank you for bringing this out! I often find myself doing stuff for others so that I avoid conflict, and as a result left alone peacefully.
Thank You, I will for sure start practicing this more on a daily basis!

[lunkerjunkie]

i call it the superiority delusion.
denial is a helluva drug.
we can tell denial is working
if we never notice it.

[heatherguess]

I'm not labeling myself as bad. Or wrong either. I'll never make myself wrong. I will however let myself set others free to think of me that way. That's their own choice. I'll set myself free from the opinions of others.

[jayjaysaves]

"Why am I doing this, what is my motivation for doing this, what am I hoping the outcome will do?" Sounds like something everyone should actively think to get to the real root of their troubles and their real wants. To get in touch with their core being and deciding what to do about it.

I just heard a man say he was protecting the bravest most noble woman he had ever met

You are the woman I thought of in that moment

Teal Swan

I have my doubts, but deep down, I know how much my heart is true

Love for you, my hearts desire ❤️

[LoveAdelina]

I’ve been through this and unfortunately I don’t think people can break out on their own. I was brainwashed for years and another person needed to step into my life and help me understand that I was manipulated and it took him months to convince me that everything was a lie.
