The Secret to Being Brave

8/16/2013

0 Comments

 
Have you ever experienced a time when you were scared and you
felt like you didn’t know what to do? This may have been in regards to your health, weight, a job situation, a relationship, or even money?  Did your inner child just wanted to run and hide or was she was kicking and screaming inside of you?  In today’s blog I will share some of my personal story with you and give you some secret tips to help you be brave!
In a short two weeks, it will officially be one year that I have been on my own doing private practice! This is so exciting for me, but at the same time as scary as HELL!  As, I write this I feel a tingling in my stomach and an excitement run through my blood. This truly is the biggest leap I have ever taken and I feel like my faith has been tested more than ever. 

Some days, I sit in my bed and cry and some I am so excited I can’t wait to teach my class or do a healing session.  The teaching, healing, and consulting comes easy for me…but the behind the scene stuff – Let’s just say I am learning!  At times I feel like I have a baby!  This one year old child – crying and needing so many things! What do I give it, what do I do!? 

A few nights ago when my head hit my pillow these words from a pop song streamed through my head “I want to see you be brave… Show me how big your brave is”.  At that moment my heart smiled and I was able to take a deep breath. I thought OK I can do this!  I need to be BRAVE!  

What does brave look like?

Initially when you think of brave you might think of the mighty solder – fighting or someone concurring unknown territory.  For me what came up was being vulnerable, allowing, asking for help, and trusting.  

Blast from the past...

From a young age I learned to be super independent and responsible …maybe because I was the oldest child.  I always wanted to please the people around me.  I was pretty hard on myself because I was afraid to disappoint them.  Having those expectations of myself often left me feeling guilty, unworthy, ashamed, or like I wasn’t good enough.  In my preteen and adult years I stuffed
these feelings with food!  I remember there were times when I would sneak food into my room because I didn’t want my mom to know that I was eating! 
I had days/ nights where I would binge.  Food was my friend!  It was safe and non-judging!  It held space.  And it never failed or abandoned me!  But at the
same time it left me feeling more guilt, more ashamed, more unworthy, and even
more like I wasn’t good enough.

Back to reality!

Over the past week I have realized that those feelings of insecurity, not being good enough, and worthiness are still very familiar to my inner child.  When I am feeling vulnerable those are the first feelings to come up and they often lead me to grief.  My first reaction is always to put up my walls and hide!  I don’t want the world to see me this way.  It’s unsafe!  Well, let me just say this time it isn’t serving me LOL.  Over the past few weeks I have gained about 3-4 pounds and I know/ feel that it is because I am holding on and protecting myself in every which way. I have been experiencing more tension in my neck, back shoulders; I even had a head ache for three days AHHH.  I finally decided I am ready to let go and be brave!  That is why I am sharing this with you!

Back to brave!

Brave is not about doing, it is about being!  We don’t need to change anything about ourselves.  I don’t need to “act happy” when I am not, and I don’t need to “act strong” when I am weak.  Over the past few weeks I have realized that by me trying to “act strong” I sent my body into defense mode…my muscles were tight - like I was arguing!  And my relationship felt a little on guard. 

When we allow ourselves to just be in our authenticity…things flow and we can trust that there is a higher divine plan for each experience.  The blame, disappointment, shame, and regret all disappear.  Each experience becomes a gift and a learning experience.  By being vulnerable and by BEING you never know who you will inspire, or how your relationships will blossom because you are allow yourself to connecting on a deeper level.




Things to reflect on this week:

How can you be brave this week?  What does your BRAVE look like?  How can you be a little more vulnerable or let down some of your walls?  Show me how big your brave is!
