Trust Yourself 🪺
Powerful words, aren’t they?
They offer us such important medicine. But they be can sure be hard to lean into!
We came to the very understandable - but very wrong - conclusion, from such a young age, that it’s not OK to trust ourselves or others, let go or allow in - for all kinds of seemingly convincing reasons. It’s not safe, there’s too much to do, we don’t deserve, on and on. On the surface those premises make so much sense. We see most everyone around us living under them. Why would we think or do otherwise?
Here’s why. Because when we allow ourselves to notice how it truly feels to live this way, we feel how painfully wrong it is. Working so hard, trying to direct, control, holding on tightly, not leaning on others, not receiving, as we truly need, and deserve. Ouch! We want so much more than these contorted ways we are collectively living! That more is so possible!
There is a wise, brave and powerful human inside all of us (yes, you!) who has a very different vision. That precious human (you!) knows her vision is possible. It’s time we let our wiser selves lead our way!
It will feel scary and wrong and all the things as we do. That’s ok! That is usually a sign we are heading in the right direction. We can let those feelings move through us as we move ourselves, and our world to something so much better. We know how to do that. You do!
Where are you not trusting yourself? How does your self feel about that? Where are you holding on tightly to something that no longer serves you, blocking what does from showing up and changing your life (and the world) for the better? What are you not allowing yourself to receive - from yourself or others?
How might you trust, let go and let in more? Who might you lean on as you do? What vision, hope, want, feeling, knowing might you allow out? It’s so worth asking yourself. The possibilities are vibrating, eagerly waiting for you to allow!
I’ve recently taken another deep dive into this exploration myself aound my work in the world. It’s been quite something to be (lovingly) smacked in the face with the message and vision I have devoted my life to supporting others with. “Look at how you are trying to fit into an artificially constructed box that dishonors your beautifully, unique essence. You don’t settle for that for anyone else, so why would you for you?” my wiser self said. My wiser self has a good point. So here I go! Fears, doubts, all the things. Yet that pales compared to how freeing it is to be even more who I truly am, offer the work I am truly meant to and invite in the life I most deeply want.
I want that for you! I know that is possible for you! I’d love to support you to know and live that yourself!
