What about this theory: The fear of not being enough, and the fear of being “too much.” Are exactly the same fear. The fear of being you. We all have fear, darkness, or shadows we are needing to face. It’s not being we are broken and are in need of fixing, it is because our soul is strongly encouraging us to evolve. To see these shadows, to understand them, embrace them, and ultimately let them go. Some of mine include, I doubt myself all the time, I believe I am what others call me/say about me when they are mad/frustrated/intimidated/offended with/by me, I don’t trust myself or believe in myself, I allow others agendas to rule my life. I give up on myself quickly, much too quickly. I take things personally and feel obligated to fix everything or to become emotionally invested in it in some way. But if I take a moment to track back through all I have seen, felt, heard, I see that my grief has softened me, my heartaches are making me wiser, and all my suffering has strengthened me. And despite it all I still choose to be present, despite it all I still choose to look in the shadows and step into their lessons, despite it all I still choose me and my growth over everything else. Being will to accept the parts of ourselves that are out of spiritual alignment is what makes us stronger. So, repeat after me... Others words or actions are a reflection of their own relationship with themselves and is not a statement about your value as a person. I believe in myself. I embody my highest potential. I am compassionate love. I am capable of anything. I am limitless. I am wise and wholesome. I release emotional patterns that no longer serve me. I create healthy boundaries with my external environment. I love the me I am today, last year, and this year to come. Give yourself permission this coming year to uproot if needed, to change if growing stagnant, to shift if your perspective has become dull, give yourself permission to shed who you are because you are allowed to start over and finds new ways and paths to a new you that feels like home. . . . #scaredjourney #facingyourshadows #selfcare #meansdoingthework #steppingup #lovingyourselfforwhoyouare #makeway (at Tuxedo Park, Calgary)
