Why do we hide so much? From ourselves, from friends, from family, fom people who want to help us…
We desire to be free and yet we imprison ourselves. Hiding our feelings, our questions, our concerns; all of this hiding just leads us into feeling more trapped.
Have you ever said something and all of the sudden you could start to breathe again? That is the feeling of being free! We owe it to ourselves.
The first person we should open up to is our own self and often it is the most difficult yet important step. Coming to terms with yourself, understanding what you want, questioning yourself…
⁃ Am I doing this for me?
⁃ What could I do better?
⁃ What do I want to do?
⁃ How do I feel about this?
⁃ What I can do to make myself feel better/more satisfied?
⁃ How am I treating myself?
It is important for us to learn that asking ourselves questions like these and having this inner dialogue is extremely important for our self improvement. We cannot improve for others, we must do it for ourselves. And who can know you better than YOU?
Often times we go by in such an automatic state we never check in with our feelings, necessities, challenges, emotional state etc…
I encourage you to begin exploring and hearing yourself out! Right here, right now. If you don’t do it, who will?
