The next obvious question is...👇🏼 How do I practice self-kindness and warmth? I’m so glad to ask because that is exactly what l’m here to help you with. Self-kindness isn’t just about *positive self talk* In fact, positive self talk can aggravate your inner critic and make things worse. Self kindness is about learning to move toward the wound, rather than run away from it; to feel like you’ve likely been intellectualizing your whole life 💕 It is in the learning to feel that you create an internal environment that’s able to transform. I just recently released a podcast called How to Transform Your Unconscious Wounds on The Flynn Skidmore Podcast - that will be a FANTASTIC next step for you Thank you for being here! #nervoussystem #selflove #selfactualize #innercritic #selfawareness
Questions to dive deeper👇🏼 Who’s the version of you that’s all about the repression of your soul and your truth? Let’s call this version R (for repress) Who’s the version of you that’s all about the ownership and full expression of your soul and your truth? Let’s call this version T (for truth) Where in your life are you version R? Where are you version T? Do you notice any patterns or tendencies to be predominantly version R and hope that if the other person changes then you’ll get to be more of version T? Where in your life are you making it others’ responsibility for you to be version T? What would life look like if you took full ownership of being version T and held yourself fully responsible for investing in people and environments that are a match for your version T? #relationships #selfawareness #truth #personalfreedom #personalresponsibility
If you’re outsourcing your actualization to another person — waiting for them to bring their potential to life so you can bring yours to life — you will likely continue to be disappointment and unfulfilled. Whether you end up with this person forever or decide to leave today, your task is still the same: Your task in this life is to own the truth of who you want to be, leap into the unknown, and commit to fully bringing that version of you to life; committing to your fullest expression. 💗💗💗💗💗
A little deeper👇🏼 I write ALL the time. I visualize all the time. Sometimes I do mantras and affirmations and practice speaking things into existence. AND…. There’s no magic breathwork, no magic mantra, no magic journal prompt that’s going to create the transformation and evolution you’re looking for. Your obsession with tools is likely you trying to create safety before action. You’re hoping to be safe before the action, in turn making the unfamiliar and bold action easier. Unfortunately, that’s not how the evolution of your unconscious works. Safety is formed IN action. The safety you’re looking for is found in the unknown. You already know the direction your soul wants to go🕊️ Choose to take on the identity of a person who LOVES mistakes. Choose to see that the willingness to make extraordinary mistakes, engage in extraordinary reflection, progressively make better mistakes, and accumulate extraordinary experience is the thing that creates fulfillment. You might regret it. But you probably won’t 💗💗 #selfawareness #personaldevelopment #unconscious #transformation #evolution
