Vulnerability is consciously choosing to not hide your emotions and desires from others and is not my strength in this lifetime. I’m not sneaky, but I do keep my cards close to my chest. I don’t like for people to see the full picture of what I am doing because I’m usual afraid that they won’t understand or even worse judge me. But as this venus and mercury retrogrades are in full effect, we’re SHOWING UP differently and I thought I’d share some tips I’ve learned along with pitfalls I’ve experienced as I’ve attempted to connect on a deeper level.

What to keep in mind when exploring vulnerability:

1. Recognize the courage: It takes courage to be vulnerable, so acknowledge that. Tell the story of who you are with courage. 
2. Let go of perfectionism: Don't worry about being perfect, and don't compare yourself to others.
3. Be compassionate: offer it to ourselves
4. Be authentic: Be true to yourself and don't let fear stop you. 
5. Explore your emotions: Acknowledge your feelings and don't avoid them. 
6. Show up: Be willing to be seen and to share your needs.
