people might not feel “good” or comfy
that doesn’t mean it’s “bad”
if I want to get it “perfect” before I show up and share
then I will never show up and share
why do I feel like I need to be perfect?
fear of rejection, abandonment, ostracism. fear of hurting or upsetting someone.
I have known all of these things. of course my being is afraid of it happening again.
the reality is that life hurts. relationships hurt. not everyone is going to like me or what I have to say. does that mean I should just not show up?
showing up, practicing, trying
is how I can become more skillful at taking congruent and wise actions. and increase my capacity for staying with myself when people feel however they feel about me and my actions.
I can give myself new evidence, over and over, that there are so many more possible outcomes. that multiple realities can be true at the same time.
that life hurts but and it is also delicious! relationships hurt but and they also nourish! not everyone is going to like me or what I have to say, but and some people are going to love me and what I have to say! (are you one of them? hi 🥰)
