Hey beauties today I want to broach the subject of shame. It is such an icky, nasty feeling that can keep us stuck and crippled for a very long time. We all have stuff that happened as we were growing up and even in our adulthood that we may still be holding onto and not even realize. Shame is an emotion that provokes denial and when we deny something we are in a total state of non acceptance with ourselves and our experiences.
When this starts to happen and unfortunately a lot of times it happens without us even knowing, we lie to ourselves and we choose not to honor our past wounds or experiences. Basically we’re saying to ourselves we only accept ‘the good parts’ and we are unwilling to own and honor those parts we perceive as ‘bad.’ We tell ourselves I don’t accept that happened, I’m better now, and we cut ourselves short by denying ourselves of full and complete happiness. Well that is not going to work, believe me I’ve tried.
Because of my own past transgressions I was so determined to be better, do better, feel better, that I began to deny certain parts of myself as my truth. Of course in order to grow we must stay present in our lives and not dwell in the past but listen up gorgeous, you must honor ALL of you! Good, bad, ugly, indifferent. All of it! We all have a story. We all have past stuff, its ok.
The key is not to let it hold you back from your greatness, your light.
It’s funny I thought by denying certain parts of myself I was being who I was supposed to be, and sure, I was. But I wasn’t being who I was Meant to be. And wow am I happy that I finally woke up!
I am meant to be right here with you on this journey. I’m working on writing my first book and this blog is my way to connect with you even sooner! That is what I am dying to do! Connect with you on a deeper level and bring love to this blog each and every week!
My mission here is to bring you a new topic every week that we can discuss and work on together. I don’t have all the answers but I plan to share with you every single tool and trick that I have found to step into my own light and live with an abundancey of love and meaning.
So please let me know if there is any specific topic you’d like to air out and work on (you can do it anonymously if you prefer)
I am here to bring light and love in any capacity possible.

ReplyDeleteAccepting ones self as a "WHOLE" is a tricky thing to conquer. The fear that the people you love the most won't except those things, well is down right terrifying! Us humans are kindof like sponges. We get drenched with love, hatered, sadness, disappointment, and happiness. You ring out the sponge but you can never fully get all of that water out. So it sits in that sponge collecting all of the negative bacteria. The sponge begins to ware done and fall apart. Then we buy a new sponge and start all over again. Vicious cycle
DeleteI agree at times it can be very tricky to have acceptance and love for ourselves. Some days are better then others no doubt, but I believe that the more you get into the habit of self care and self love practices the easier it gets. For instance my morning meditation is something that has been an absolute game changer in my life and it is a form of self care I show myself. A nice warm bath with some lavender essential oil is a form of self care, going for a walk in nature, listening to your favorite song and dancing around in your living room looking like a crazy person but not giving a rip what anyone thinks because it makes you feel happy and foot loose, (hehe) That is all various forms of self care. We’re here to have fun, love on ourselves and then that way we are so much better equipped to love on those around us!
