The Midlife

Bullying yourself.

Today on The Midlife we are discussing the embedded beliefs within us that are harsh and rigid. Have we been hearing them and thinking them for so long that we believe they are true? Have we hard wired these beliefs so that we can not imagine we are allowed to think something else about ourselves?

Sometimes the creativity dries up. Or at least it hits a lull. What do we do to ourselves how do we react or act when it comes and when it doesn't? Do we judge ourselves when creativity isn't flowing? Do we feel anxious and fill the time with keeping "busy"? Or allow the quiet time to be just what we need right now before the next burst of inspiration appears?

We know feeling like an empty canvas can be scary.

Instead, we offer: "It's way more fun to sit with it and look at the emptiness as a place that can be and will be filled instead of something that will remain empty."

Just because its messy doesn't mean you are a mess. We are HUMAN and in that way all alike. Perfectly un-perfect. Un-perfectly perfect. Growing and learning. Learning and growing.

When we are hard on ourselves we inhibit our ability to communicate. If we are the ones who are being hard on ourselves than when someone even looks at us the "wrong" way or we get an email that makes us feel silly or that we did understand what we are doing, we REACT. We have knee jerk responses and defensively go on the attack. (and guess what we generally get back?.... more of the same kind of energy, more icky responses). When we have our own back, when we fully get who we are (and who we are NOT) we have more cushion inside of us and our responses have an ease, a playfulness, and a humble energy to them.
