To Start: Get Curious About What’s Going On
Before we try to shift anything, it’s important to really get curious about what’s there. We try to change things about ourselves from a place of judgment, wanting to get rid of what’s bad, rather than really trying to understand ourselves.
So start by noticing, when you don’t show up for yourself, what’s going on? What are you feeling in that moment? What are your thoughts? Instead of judging and turning away from all of this, can you turn towards it and try to really see yourself?
Could you start to accept these feelings and thoughts as a part of the amazing human being that you are?
Could you let go of judgment and just be with the feelings and fears, and not need them to go away?
From this place of acceptance and love, we can start to explore other possibilities.
