Our Generancestors ™ applaud us for honoring our genius ideas—even the half-baked ones—and we’re safe to grow, even if we shed some Soul-Tears ™ along the way! Valor 🌍 We’re valuable because we’re brave enough to share our Truths ™ with the world—and with cosmic eavesdroppers tuning into our Generancestors ™ radio. No secrets here, just Soul-Tears ™ and mic drops! Abundancia πŸ’Έ We totally deserve More ™ —like bigger fries and dollops of abundance.

Retroflexion & Rage Healing Generational Storms

🌟 CALL TO ACTION: We’ve all felt rage boiling inside and turned it against ourselves. Together, we’re exploring how to let our storms move through safely. πŸ₯£ Algunas veces , some of us grew up in families where storms weren’t allowed. 🌩️ Bueno , we learned real fast that anger—the thunder inside us—was dangerous. 😑 Entonces , instead of letting that lightning crack open the sky, we swallowed it whole. 🀐 Mira , we turned it against ourselves. πŸ˜” That’s what they call retroflexion —when we bend our natural reflexes backward and aim our rage inward instead of toward the people who caused us harm. ⚡ Pues , I’ve lived that. A veces , I’ve yelled at myself in my head a thousand times for wanting to scream at someone else. 🀯 Oye , or I’ve snapped at safe people who didn’t deserve it because it felt too dangerous to face the real source of my pain. That’s displacement —misplacing the storm. πŸ’£ ImagΓ­nate , our GenerAncestors™ grew up in times when survival d...

Healing for Inner Selves & Generational Patterns 🌿 | Anew Mirror Blog

πŸ’› The Scared Inner Child: “You’ll know what to do — and feel proud.” 🧸 *For real, bebΓ©.* Before, your body would glitch like an old Nokia every time a choice popped up πŸ“Ÿ. But one day, you’ll do something kind — or brave — without spiraling after. That’s orgullo. That’s inner brilliance. That’s confianza . ✨ πŸͺ„ And the wildest part? You won’t even need applause. You'll just smile at yourself like, “damn, I did that.” πŸ‡΅πŸ‡· 🎈 πŸ§ƒ The Scared Inner Teen: “You’ll shock yourself with how calm you are under pressure.” 😀 Once upon a time, pressure meant: slam the door, break the charger, cry in the car, maybe write a 3AM breakup text for dramatic flair πŸ’”. But now? You blink. You breathe. You say: *“Actually, I need a minute.”* 🀯 Revolutionary. Honestly, your ancestors are clapping in the background like "*mira esto.*"* πŸ‘ Calm isn’t boring. It’s badass. It’s the quiet flex. πŸ’… πŸ‡΅πŸ‡· 🧠 Young Adult: “You’ll respond instead of react.” 🎯 Adult...

Meet Yourself with Presence, Not Control πŸŒ™πŸ•Š️πŸ₯£

🌍 Bienvenid@… y bien despedid@ a la carga ancestral que no nos pertenece. 🌍 What it means: “Bienvenid@… y bien despedid@ a la carga ancestral que no nos pertenece” is a playful but powerful message that says: “Welcome — and also goodbye — to the ancestral baggage that was never ours to carry.” We’re being lovingly invited into presence... while also saying: adiΓ³s to the burdens, fears, and behaviors we inherited but don’t need anymore. 🧳✨ ✨ Agencia – Agency™ The first time I heard the word agency , I thought, “Huh? A business?” I only knew how to perform. So I was like, “I already do that. I produce results. ✅ Got that covered.” Next. Boy, was I off. Agency™ — the real kind — is not a rΓ©sumΓ© skill. It’s a spiritual quality . It’s not about results. It requires compassion for myself first . Not productivity. Not even clarity. Just… kindness. With me. πŸ’₯ Despertar – Awakening™ This whole wellness thing? Terrifying. Beautiful. Completely disorienting. Why terrifyi...

Generancestors πŸŒΏπŸ§¬πŸ•―️✨

✨ Definition for Generancestors 🧬 Generancestors & The Patterns We Didn't Know We Inherited We didn’t mean to carry these habits forward. But here we are — reenacting what hurt us, passing along what silenced us, confusing survival with love. This isn’t a shame letter. It’s a wake-up one. If you recognize even one of these patterns, you’re not alone — you’re just brave enough to finally notice. Let’s call it out, together. 😭 πŸ‘» Emotional Ghosting Can you recognize how you disappear emotionally when you're overwhelmed? Are you willing to take one small move toward staying present even when it’s uncomfortable? 😭 Me, halfway through a real conversation: *“Anywayyy, wanna get tacos or something?”* πŸ“‘ Surveillance Love Can you recognize when you try to control someone “just to feel close”? Are you willing to take one small move toward letting people have space without reading it as rejection? πŸ₯΄ Us:...

Building Trust Without Control | Anew Mirror Blog

My Story I was so confused that I thought I had to be a hero — like a character — for everyone I thought was making a mistake. I would people-please until I wasn’t even real to myself. I didn’t know what I liked or what I didn’t like. I was a control freak to the maximum capacity. I mistrusted everyone . And I had the ability to be so internally mean to myself — in NVC, they call that internal violence . But my quest to be more real led me into a lot of reading, theory, and practice. And now, I can look back and notice how much energy I was spending — not just on others, but on defending something I wasn’t even sure I wanted. I confided in people who weren’t rooting for me. Maybe they liked having a hero around. Even temporarily. Protection through acts of aggression You lash out to hide hurt. Rage becomes your shield. πŸ’’πŸ”₯🚬🧱😑 Feelings: fury, defense, deep pain under the surface What you might long for: to be heard without needing to shout ➡️ Step for today: Write what ...

No MΓ‘s Payasos: Breaking the Victim Triangle, One Puerto Rican Truth at a Time πŸ‡΅πŸ‡·

Image
No MΓ‘s Payasos: A Tribute to My Father I personally have learned that there are no injustices in my world. Not to be confused with tu mundo , or el mundo de ellos . When I took full responsibility for my life, I stopped labeling myself as a victim. And this is a brutally hard truth. Because I was raised in victimhood. In that script, I deserved some things and didn’t deserve others. I don’t live that way anymore. Whatever shows up, I face it. I do my best in that moment. I let the chips fall — and sometimes, those chips land πŸ’© deep in mierda. But I’ve learned that here on Earth 🌍, there’s a lot of caca to clean. Nobody is coming to clean up mi vida — just me. And now I’m qualified to do that. This post is about me. As a descendant of Puerto Rican πŸ‡΅πŸ‡· heritage and culture, I know what collective injustices feel like. I lived them. Mis padres lived them. Mis abuelos lived them. My sons and mis cinco nietos are also living them. We didn’t cause all of this — but we can cho...
