"If we can get to the place where we show up as our genuine selves and let each other see who we really are, the awe-inspiring ripple effect will change the world."
— Terrie M. Williams
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. After all I have been through over the past two years, I think that our emotional life impacts our physical life. Our ability to be true to ourselves has far reaching impact--from our health to our relationships to our day to day activities.
What are we so afraid of anyway? What is it that causes us to spin a cocoon around ourselves and peek out. Somehow we grow up so concerned with how others see us that it impacts our every action. And why I have to ask? What is the big, bad evil thing that will happen if someone doesn't like what we say or how we dress or who we are talking to? That is the big secret--there is no boogie monster. There is no big, bad impact. We wear heels and furs in our little town and someone says "what, you think your in NYC?" ...SO WHAT??? We need to learn that it is a reflection of them and not us. We need to get to a place of acceptence of what is. Not judgement, just acceptence.
When we are able to be... simply be ourselves, we will attract those who love us for who we are. It may be less in quantity, but I guarentee that it will be better in quality. We will be more, do more and have more when we are genuinely our selves.
As we get to this place where we accept ourselves, appreciate our bodies and love them, then we are able to move forward towards better health. It is when our attention is on this cellulite or that wrinkle or this roll of fat and how ugly it is or how old we look that we stay stuck. AND... I think that we focus other peoples attention on what our attention is on as well--exactly what we are trying not to do!
When we walk through life confidently loving ourselves, we attract more authentic people to us. We are focused outward and we are able to keep moving forward.
