How to Stop Rejecting yourself and Start Living Authentically
Today I wanted to talk about being authentically yourself. It has taken me alot of work to learn how to love myself and over the years I've had to learn to listen to my own wants and needs. I've been thinking about The great Cosmic Goddess and how we are all part of her web of creation, a oneness, an energy field connecting all of creation throughout all of time and space. And we can use this connectivity to better the universe by concentrating on the love in our hearts and expanding it outward toward the continuum and sending it out to all creation.
Women, men, humanity are descendants of the Goddess, of the earth and of the primal waters of the cosmos. Our DNA contains the secrets of the ancients. The codes of the Divine Goddess. The life expanding force, giver and taker of life. Our Blood, bones and wombs are one with the cyclic waves of her life energy and the female body is the mirror image of her cosmos. Our shedding and regenerating uterus where the seeds of the spirit realm pass through the portal in women. We must trust that we are taken care of, that we need not worry about things we cannot control. You are enough, you are Divine, listen to your inner voice, be still and know that you are Goddess.
If you are overwhelmed, relax, rest, renew your energy. Understand that you don't have to please everyone and do everything all yourself. Be patient with yourself, check in with yourself and honor your body and what you're feeling, love yourself and all your feelings. Give yourself permission to feel deeply loved by the Goddess, by your core. You deserve love, you do not need to chase love, or approval. Openly receive the love of the Universe. Open your heart and let the love shine through you. You are worthy to embrace yourself. Allow yourself to accept love and nurturance. You are no better or worse than anyone, we are all part of the Divine Goddess. Accept your fear, shame, anxiety, be still with your darkness, let the feelings flow and love them. Let them flow through and out.
Receiving is a feminine quality, stop always trying to please and to give, to gain a sense of self worth. Be open with your emotions, let them flow. One thing I realized is the more I suppress shame, guilt or fear, instead of being with those emotions, the more I attracted emotionally unavailable men, (narcs, avoidants, sociopaths) in relationships. I've realized that I need to show my vulnerability and express my emotions to be authentic. We need to learn to receive love, and praise from others freely. We need to learn that it is okay to say no, you are being authentic when you say no. You actually help more by letting others face their problems and let them become aware that they are capable, then trying to rescue everyone. Remember, you are allowed to take up space, you are allowed to be disliked, you are allowed to be the bad guy in someone else's eyes. Do what's best for you! Receive freely, be grateful and express love freely, that's being authentic.
