when did you stop trusting yourself?
‘Sometimes, you have to lose yourself to find who you truly are.’
Our world is a daily pressure for us to conform within family expectations, belief systems, religious practices, societal norms, and the opinions of friends or social media. With so many distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of our authentic selves - your personalized expert of YOU. We become what others want us to be; we mold our identities to fit the environment we are in, mirroring or succumbing to the expectations placed upon us.
I can pinpoint the exact moment when you stopped trusting yourself. It often comes disguised as a subtle shift - a moment of doubt, a choice made for someone else, words from loved ones, or a fear of judgment or rejection. The truth is that you can clear those energy blocks and release what no longer serves you, letting go of patterns or limitations so you can return to your original self, just wiser and more experienced in life. This experience is not about reinventing who you are; it is more about unveiling all the weight placed on you and the beliefs you have been conditioned to accept. Trust yourself - YOU are your own personal expert.
It’s time to release the layers of conditioned beliefs that have accumulated over time. This is your opportunity to reconnect with the essence of who you were meant to be - the vibrant, authentic individual with an inner light beneath the surface. Through shedding the layers or masks of these external expectations, you allow your true self to emerge, unfiltered and unapologetic.
As you welcome this transformative shift, remember that you do not need to relive your past moments; instead, connect with and acknowledge them, having the courage to step into the real you. Often, your mind may fear the release of the old patterns or behaviors because you have made it a part of your identity - your story. This can still be your story; you just do not need to hold onto the emotions linked to it. These negative emotions often lead to dis-ease, internal discomfort, and a disconnect from the person staring back at you in the mirror. Welcome the powerful energy of self-awareness, self-discovery, and self-love. You possess the innate ability to navigate this path, and in doing so, you’ll rediscover the passions and dreams that resonate with your soul.
It’s time to recognize the voices that tell you who to be and start listening to the one that has always been there - your own. Your true self is waiting to be revealed, and the world needs your authentic light now more than ever.
with love & gratitude,
