The guilt and shame we carry heavily on our shoulders can suffocate the love we so much deserve to give back to ourselves.
.. all the things I’ve ever said or done in my life, I’ve allowed to weigh me down rather then uplift. I’ve recently learned the phrase- turn pain to purpose-
There are so many I have learned from, and grown from.
I used to live with regret and shame.
Untill I realized that I was willing to make a change. And being willing to make even small changes, 1% better everyday, that’s self compassion, that’s breaking free from feeling unworthy, guilty, and shameful..
Not everything has to change in life all at once. But we can wake up each day and decide to work on somethings that alter where we are headed in this life.
My past does not define me.
Your past does not define you.
I could walk around with shame and guilt my whole life or I can take responsibility for my actions and be willing to step outside of myself for a moment to understand how it all affects others.. friends, family, co- workers, my daughter.
Becoming aware and taking the time to do the work to shift the way in which I do things, say things, and react rather than respond.
I lived my life for many years not loving myself, not caring about myself, never doing anything to actually fill my cup, but to water myself down and dilute myself further into not even wanting to exist.
I want you to know, no matter where you been, what you’ve done or said..
it’s never too late to start loving yourself.
It’s never to late to make a change.
It’s never too late to start again.
I’ve given up many times, I’ve tried to leave this world many times. But in the reality of it all.
I didn’t give up. And neither did you. Because here we are working towards that 1% better everyday. And I’m so proud of you for that.
We are imperfectly perfect.
We can fill in those grooves of self doubt, shame and guilt by making a commitment to ourselves from this day forward into pouring self compassion and love back into ourselves.
Forgive yourself. You are worthy of that.
Whatever your circumstances you can always turn it around: it’s never to late to start.
One decision. One action. One yes. Is all it takes to change.
An like I said, not everything has to change all at once, but we can still start.
We get to learn. We get to grow. We get to evolve.
I’ve evolved into a version of myself most people from my past do not even recognise.
In the evolution of our soul, we may shed old versions of ourselves including people, habits, ect.
This is okey.
Write:
“I’m absolutely worthy and divinely deserving.”
“I’m allowed to feel however I effing feel — my feelings are valid.”
“I’m unique in my own wonderful ways while still sharing sacred interconnected human experiences with many.”
“I’ll never ever be too old (or too much of anything, for that matter) to continue cultivating curiosities about my own behaviors and spaces for growth.”
“In this moment I am [fill in the blank]; in this moment I feel [fill in the blank].”
