Today I had an interesting session with a new client. Her mother had passed away and it was interesting how the first message that came through loud and clear to her daughter was...
"You are really hard on yourself. Don't be. You are doing a great job of raising your two children all on your own with no support. Know this."
Wow, I learned so much from this statement as well. Often we are hard on ourselves as women aren't we? We feel we just don't do enough, do it fast enough, or good enough. We are hard on ourselves! Why? Well, maybe the rest of her session will help us to understand why...
"You need to love yourself, that will provide healing that will in turn help you to have healthier relationships. Knowing intellectually that you are a talented, loving and good person is not enough. You have to feel it too. Start with ALLOWING yourself to love yourself just as you are. Know that you are ENOUGH just as you are right now. Then will follow a new language of self-talk that will transform from HAVING to do things to WANTING to do things to knowing you WILL do things. What things? Loving yourself and also equally important, RECEIVING love from others."
Enough said...I remind us all we are here to love, learn and witness one another heal.
