Is self-reflection the key to self-acceptance? It is natural to crave tranquility in our relationships. Of course, absolute peace and serenity is an achievement one could only hope for. We are flawed It is part of what comes with being beautifully human.
Our flaws create pathways for growth and are necessary tools for transformation. When you become more aware of your shortcomings, you can take a step back and reflect on the possibilities of growth. This can enhance how you manage your relationships with yourself, others, and the divine. Loving others often comes more naturally than harnessing that acceptance for oneself.
Join me and Rashaan McMillan our guest Speaker. And listen as we discuss what it means to fully accept who we are as survivors, and why it can be so difficult when you factor in trauma recovery to self-love. I know that you’ll find out insight relatable encouraging information, as we share how the journey of healing can be a tremendous struggle, yet the rewards are real and very attainable, no matter what you’ve experienced in the past.
Also we discuss how the mask that we wear in every day life can be directly related to how we view ourselves. By putting on a mask, so to speak, we only allow others to see what we think they want to see, or what we want them to see, all the while our true selves are dealing with self-shame, and the pain that we feel we will be judged by if we reveal our true selves in a vulnerable way. This is an incredible struggle that can keep us stuck in self-defeating mindsets, and inhibit the healing that we desperately seek.
We are the masters of our reality, the authors of our life story. Only YOU are responsible for where you are at this point in your journey. And this point of your journey, this present moment, is perfect. And it’s all you have. Breathe in. Accept all that you are: light and dark; Yin and Yang. masculine and feminine; strengths and weaknesses; triumphs and setbacks. Your spirit is perfect. Seek to fill as much of your earthly body and mind with this perfection. It starts with reflection. Go within, be kind to your mind, and let your unique essence become one with the divine.
