Are you hiding your beautiful authentic self? π
Living behind the screen, disconnected from my emotions, running from my fears and living in survival mode used to be my way of life.
As someone who suffered much trauma and abuse, my perception of reality used to be clouded by all of that past pain... Seeing others as a potential threat, constantly trying to protect myself from the world around me, avoiding intimacy, vulnerability and even connection with others is what I believed would protect me from further pain, sadness, heartbreak and disappointment.
But as Brene Brown beautifully says: "When we numb the heavy emotions (fear, grief, sadness) we also numb the wanted emotions (joy, love, peace)".
On top of that, when we hide behind a mask of some persona that we believe the world wants us to be, we shut down our authentic self and that in turn shuts down all heart aligned manifestations of our dreams and desires. This is because you cannot manifest who you are "NOT being". Every moment of your 'being-ness' sends a signal to the Universe broadcasting: "this is who I am and what I am feeling, give me more of that"...
So, if you are living against your authentic self, hiding, minimising and suppressing yourself out of fear, you will be manifesting more people and situations that will give you the reasons to hide, minimize and wear a mask.
The journey back to your authentic self is the most beautiful unfolding one could ever experience. It's like peeling the layers of an onion (all of those false beliefs, patterns, behaviours and choices that don't serve you), until you get to the core of who you truly are and how you desire to show up in life.
Opening up to this honest, authentic part of you is such a gift because this is where the struggles subside and you become an attractor, owning your power, honoring and valuing your authentic self and humbly understanding that all this unfoldment isn't just for you... this journey helps you find your truest home, your belonging, your gifts and purpose in this Universe..
That's when the magic of attracting joy, true love and greatness happens on autopilot; - by simply being YOU.
Love,
