My authentic self is direct, clear, i think deeply and can layer nuances and emotions very easily. Dislike small talk. I wish i was softer. I pray for it. It’s just not me but have to be to fit in the world.
I love the connection you have with your Higher Self. Honor what feels right to you. I can relate to everything you just said. If you are living open heartedly then that’s enough softness to carry you through.
Great read, thank you. Bringing this level of awareness into my regimen, and allowing space for it has been part of the growth and learning of several years - this is something I still have to practice, dipping my toes in the water of feeling safe with others as my authentic self. But hey! I only have ME, and damn it if I don't love the me I've become! And, I want to be accepted as me, or I won't trust it.
The transformation starts with dipping the toes into the unknown. That's a courageous thing to do and well worth it in the long run. We can't expect ourselves to dive head first into the deep waters of doing the thing we know is right. We experiment and experiment some more. Until we start to see the shift into our authenticity.
I resonate with this so much. I’ve spent most of my life trying to think my way into change, but the biggest shifts for me have happened when something finally became an embodied knowing instead of just an intellectual understanding.
Over the past few years, through deep healing work with plant medicine, I’ve started to understand that many of my patterns can’t simply be logic-ed away because they live in the nervous system. But once I truly feel something differently, I can’t unsee it. The change starts happening naturally.
I was actually just talking with a friend today about recently releasing a long pattern of second-guessing myself. I understood for years that I was doing it, and even where it came from, but understanding it wasn’t the same thing as being free from it. It wasn’t until I had an experience where I could actually feel what it was like to no longer do it that the pattern started to shift.
That is amazing that you were able to make that shift. Sometimes we need to oppose the pattern and live the new experince and belief to show the body that we are safe doing the thing that we align with. Fear no longer has to be the captain of the ship. We get to be in control when we are willing to embody the truth. Just like you did!
