Are You a CYCLE BREAKER?

On today's episode of Love Notes From a Soul Coach, we're talking about cycle breakers. A cycle breaker in a family system is the person who refuses to perpetuate the hurt they’ve inherited. They are the one, in the family lineage, who is determined to break the chain of dysfunction and do things differently.  A cycle breaker says: REGARDLESS of how much hurt I’ve experienced, I refuse to allow that hurt to justify imposing the same kind of cruelty, hurt and abuse on someone else.  The cycle breaker says: I acknowledge the hurt but I don’t act on it. I don’t act it out on others. I choose to use my precious time on earth to heal instead. To connect these dots and wake up and do things differently.  The Somalian poet Warsan Shire wrote:  no one leaves home unless home is the mouth of a shark No one ousts themselves from their own tribe unless there is something seriously wrong inside that tribe. The strength to stand up for what is true and right for us, according to our own internal, spiritual compass is a deeply courageous act and it yields, ultimately, to authentic healing in the family system.  Learn more about cycle breakers, and how to support yourself if you identify as this role in your own family system, on today's episode.  Find transcripts for each show, read my book or listen to my FREE guided meditation for anxiety relief at: marywelch.com  Learn more about your ad choices.
