Affirmation: “I’m comfortable being me.”
Journal Prompt:
When am I my most authentic self? How can I be more authentic now?
Self-Care Ritual:
In my past, I was prone to being the one who always made sure everyone else got what they needed. And more often than not, it was at the expense of doing anything for myself at all. I know what the root causes of the behavior are now, but back then I thought it was what I was supposed to do.
I’m a totally different person now though.
I had what I would call the “dark night” of my soul, and it brought me to a place where I now live for & fall deeper in love daily, with myself!
It has been a wild journey, for sure. And not an easy one. Well, that’s not entirely true either. It has honestly come quite easily to me, but it has not been effortless. Growing into this unfiltered, clear headed me has taken a lot of effort, in fact.
To grow into this 100% authentic me,
To step out ALL THE TIME, in belief in myself,
To not be concerned if people leave my world,
To set boundaries, and enforce them,
To embrace the power I now KNOW is mine,
Took the biggest act of self-love I’d ever taken in my entire life!
What was it?
I finally took personal response – ability.
Meaning, I have the ability to choose how I respond, moment by moment, to the things that come up in my life. And I finally began to actually do just that… take back my ability to respond, and I embraced responding as my real, true, authentic self.
I finally embraced the real me!
But in order to express the being I truly am, and to help those that come along my path, a real shift had to happen. I had to allow myself to trust my intuition (my inner teacher) to make decisions that created alignment with my SELF (my higher consciousness). It was only then, that I began to see deeper certainty in who I am in the Universe.
I learned that if I was triggered, it was MY trigger to deal with!!!
I couldn’t shy away from it anymore, and I truly no longer wanted to. I began to focus my energy into understanding it!
I came to see there is a unique piece of me attached to every trigger; some part of me that needs healing, and clarity. That understanding brought me to a place where I actually began to embrace my triggers!
And you can too, if you’re willing to work on the internal… if you’re willing to look at what is in need of clearing in you!
Clearing and healing your past is the key! By opening up to your subconscious, you can create even more clearing & healing, and eventually remove the shadow. It doesn’t have to take a lifetime to heal either! You just have to choose it, and in that moment, it is done!!!
Step into it,
feel into it,
tune in to it!
You are right in every way, already!
So reclaim your birthright!
Reclaim your personal power!
Reclaim – to take back something that was lost, stolen, or given
Personal – it’s yours, and yours alone
Power – vital life force energy
Follow the breadcrumbs your triggers are providing. Listen to what your intuition is telling you, and make the decision to walk into your most authentic self ever!
