Fearless Fox Friday!
I think all to often we allow others to define who we are. We get labeled and we accept them or we reject them and try to prove them wrong. (ie. Bad, Stupid, Loser, Pretty, Good, Lazy, Busy, Scattered)
What if, we just didn't care what others thought because we cared what we thought first? If we valued our own opinion more than others, more than our fear's.
Who would we be if we put down what we have labeled ourselves over the years and started from the core of who we all are, children of God? If we saw our own innocence and had compassion for all the choices we have made good or bad? What would we do differently? Who would we see looking back at us in the mirror?
What would this new person with no limitations do?
That is the challenge today.
First, ask yourself what labels do you accept? Either the ones that were given to you by others or worked for by yourself. Write them down. Look at every one of them. Challange each one. So you are only left with what is truely You. The "you" that you are right now and you want to be moving towards.
Second, let go of anything that is contrary to you in any way. Let go of the anger or pressure or expectations that came with it. Let go of the negative self-talk, or behaviors associated with the old you. If it's not a matter of just letting go then make a plan and get support.
Third, plan out your new life, free of the old, the lies, and the burdens of others. What do you want in this new life? What do you do? How do you act? How do you feel about yourself? Do you have new interests or hobbies? Do you have different friends?
Defining who you are according to you and what you choose to believe is a challenge. One that is very rewarding and liberating. There will be bumps along the road, so have back up. Have a great support team who is dedicated to your vision and version of "you" that you are.
As always with any kind of change we need support. Call on me I will walk you through. I've been there and I am willing to get you clear and stand strong.
Let's hatch, from the scared chickadee to the Rock Star you want to be!
