What is your greatest emotional fear?
We all have them.
Those wounds from our childhood that we carry with us into our friendships, our professions, and our marriages.
For me, it’s rejection.
I remember so many instances where I felt left out, not included, and just not good enough.
But for a long time, I didn’t know this was my issue.
I wasn’t aware of how it was at play in my life.
I couldn’t see how my striving for achievement and accomplishment after accomplishment was just a cry for acceptance.
It wasn’t until I began to do the deep work on myself to uncover and heal my past hurts that I was able to fully understand it all.
It wasn’t until I started rediscovering my true identity that I saw myself as I truly was.
This fear of rejection made me feel a little insecure in my marriage.
And once my husband and I hit our own rough patch, it was magnified and created more suffering for me.
I was always afraid my husband would just leave.
That his silence meant he was so unhappy with me and didn’t love me anymore.
I couldn’t handle any sign of his disapproval and would take any criticism so personally.
I would get so down on myself, I would withdraw and become a sad person that I didn’t even like very much.
I’m so glad now I’ve learned to accept myself.
I’m so happy I’ve learned to receive the full and unconditional acceptance of God.
Because now when I’m feeling that way, I know it’s not the truth of who I really am.
Now when I’m feeling that way, I have tools and strategies to love and accept myself and no longer need outside validation or applause.
This has been life-changing for me.
There is no way to truly express how amazing it feels to release myself from something that held me back for so long.
What about you?
Can you imagine finally putting to rest those negative and self-defeating conversations with yourself about how you’re not worthy, you’re not loved, you’re not good enough?
Can you imagine your life with a deep inner peace and no more need to constantly please other people, and gain their attention and affection?
In this time of exchanging gifts, self-love and wholeness is the greatest gift you could give to yourself.
Are you willing to do that?
Are you in a place where you know you need to do the work on yourself from the inside out?
Could you use some guidance and a mentor who will show you the path forward with compassion and encouragement?
If so, we should definitely talk.
If you’ve been impacted by my emails, and feel like I speak directly to your situation, that’ a sign that should not be ignored.
We have only 33 days left in the year.
I know you’ve already begun to reflect.
I know you’ve already thought about the changes you want to see this time next year.
I know you are wanting things to be different.
Now it’s time to get some new tools at your disposal so you can become the person that deep down you know you can be.
Release the guilt and shame.
Release the comparisons, and competitions.
Release the need to be liked by people who don’t even matter.
Release the pain and hurt that keeps your marriage stuck.
Release it.
Let it go.
And enter this next season of your life with purpose, intention, and direction.
I’m here to help.
