When your brain feels foggy and isn't playing ball.
When you tell yourself you need to moan less, be happier, and get more organised.
When you're steeped in guilt because you raised your voice at your child.
When you injure yourself or get ill and feel furious at your body for stopping you from doing everything you need to do.
When you tell yourself everyday that "you'll be more productive tomorrow".
When you cower away in embarrassment because you let your true laugh out.
In every one of these interactions with your body you are informing yourself that some part of your functioning is not acceptable.
That it's not working hard enough, being enough, or doing as it's told.
These are the messages that you are directing towards yourself each time you repeat one of these (or similar) interactions.
While reparenting, and bringing nurture to ourselves is really important - first we must allow these parts of us to exist.
We must see them, and give them permission to be a part of our experience.
Next time you notice yourself feeling embarrassed or annoyed with some aspect of your being, I invite you to pause. Take a moment to notice the part of yourself you are feeling some way toward.
You don't have to tell it you love it, or that you're happy it's there - simply notice it as part of you.
If this is sounding abstract, I designed a listening practice precisely to support you to attune to what is happening within you and, in time, be able to decipher these different parts.
