Mindful Monday: Vulnerability Alert – Necessary and you’ve been warned😉
For a long time I didn’t think, believe and/or feel I had value. As a result, I was involved in many relationships of differing kinds that supported this lack of value and worth belief. After a series of events illuminated me to the possibility and hope that things could be different, I had to make a decision: get busy on a new path or, stay busy on this same path. I truly believe the decision to change happens instantaneously but the implementation of said change happens incrementally. These incremental steps feel crumb-like at times; messy, in pieces and can be crumbly and crummy uncomfortable. And still they are necessary in getting to that otherside of your desired self. I looked to other people to love me until I realized my happiness is my own responsibility and I needed to love myself in every way possible. With this inner strengthening (increasingly regularly of course) a lot of outer things have been and continually are being resolved. People may have hurt you and have not conducted themselves appropriately which is of course not right. These lessons of what not to do can allow us to be prepared for how we want to conduct ourselves, the people we want to be, have in our lives and create what that could look like. To expect someone to love you more than you love yourself is a huge misstep in expectation management and unfair to anyone you have in your life. It’s also unfair to yourself because you’re worth it. Let love lead, especially with you being your own Love Leader💜
