Your authentic self

Can you ever feel safe when you are not known and validated? How can you allow yourself to be vulnerable when you are not allowed to let go of who you should be and instead embraced for who you are?

Being authentic is being brave enough to manifest externally what is on the inside. But this can only happen in a place where it is safe to do that, a place where that is celebrated, not judged. A place where you don't have to do and be someone else's version of "right".

When you're authentic, you're saying "This is who I am. Who is here for that?"


You will know you've found the space to be authentic where you feel alive, connected, free, spiritual, inspired. Don't alter yourself for the illusion of fitting in (which is not the same thing as belonging) - it only ends in heartbreak. You can and should and will be loved for all that you are by those whose souls match yours, without artifice or deceit.

When you get stuck

Sometimes you can get stuck in a relationship: You're in a constant state of trigger (fight/ flight/ freeze) instead of feeling intimately connected You've become two old stories instead of two open hearts You're scared or angry most of the time instead of feeling free and authentic It's heavy and complicated instead of light and playful  There is more effort placed on control and strategy than growth and gratitude You are there because of a commitment, because you feel you “should”, not because you want to be.  What can you do? You basically have 3 options: 1. Stay . Continue the slow, painful process of losing yourself in order to keep the relationship. 2. Let it go . Sacrifice your relationship to save your soul. 3. Change . You both have to be willing and capable of growing together. The goal here is to see if you can get back to love without sacrificing your authentic selves in the process. To do this, you must remove the idea of promises, attachment...

Courage is not the absence of fear

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." -George Addair Wholeheartedly believe this. We have two choices in life: be led by fear, or lead with love and courage, trusting that things will unfold and work out just as they should. Maybe not how you planned, but always for the best. Fears will never disappear. But when you make peace with your fears, possibilities will appear. The next time you feel fear, just take the superhero stance! (And do some yoga to quiet the mind.)

Dream

Would you mind dreaming with me a little while longer Because I'm not finished with you yet You tell me not to remember But I don't want to forget It may not be perfect, nor am I, neither are you But you bring me something I can hold on to It helps me surrender It helps me advance And most of all, you already know, It makes my soul dance.
