How does it feel to be you? Deep down, in those quiet moments when there are no distractions and it’s just you, mother nature, and the Universe, what do you feel in your bones, in your heart, and in your soul about living as you?
What is the truth about what you are searching for? Is there a part of you that feels disconnected, disillusioned, or disempowered?
Are you running to, running from, or running out?
Do you take the time to slow down and embrace all that you are, physically, emotionally, and spiritually?
Are you willing to completely commitment to your personal growth, embracing your flaws, and sincerely work on finding yourself?
Brené Brown has said that “Spirituality emerged as a fundamental guidepost in Wholeheartedness. Not religiosity but the deeply held belief that we are inextricably connected to one another by a force greater than ourselves—a force grounded in love and compassion. For some of us that’s God, for others it’s nature, art, or even human soulfulness. I believe that owning our worthiness is the act of acknowledging that we are sacred. Perhaps embracing vulnerability and overcoming numbing is ultimately about the care and feeding of our spirits.”
How profound is that; the care and feeding of our spirits?
For many, the belief that you deserve self-focus and are worthy of wanting to be more is close to being evil. You may believe that sacrifice is the ultimate honoring of your soul and that anything you do that involves your personal self-improvement is vanity.
I am not going to attempt bringing this wall down here. This is heavy lifting and takes personal focus and time. If you are ready to explore alternatives, please reach out and we can excavate the “you” that is in hiding.
For those with a curiosity about how to be more and stay within the boundaries of truth and humility, I invite you to explore how you show up and what resistance you are feeling throughout the day.
As these thoughts or feelings of worthlessness or resistance arise, take note of them and at the end of the day spend some time journaling your responses to the following questions.
- Define this thought in a statement, as a problem to be solved, such as:
- I struggle with feeling loved
- Convert that statement into the Question form:
- What would happen if I did feel loved?
- Answer the question in as many ways possible.
- Convert that statement into the Inverse Question form:
- What would happen if I didn’t feel loved?
- Answer the question in as many ways possible.
- Convert that statement into the Converse Question form:
- What wouldn’t happen if I did feel loved?
- Answer the question in as many ways possible.
- Convert that statement into the Non-Mirror Image Reverse Question form:
- What wouldn’t happen if I didn’t feel loved?
- Answer the question in as many ways possible.
Don’t get caught up in analyzing the questions, answer exactly what they are asking for. One-line answers are not enough. You want to keep writing until you repeat yourself, and then write even more. When you are done, answer one more question.
What was I pretending not to know to have thought I had a problem?
Maybe, that you are deserving, and you are worthy of the care and feeding of your spirit.
It takes allowing yourself the freedom to question your perspective and the flexibility to change your point of view while you alter the words you choose to describe who you are. It takes having someone at your side guiding you through the barriers that could hold you back. It takes someone who has done it and is willing to go through it with you.
Let’s talk and see if I am that someone for you. Schedule our discovery meeting today.
