Many of us live unaware in fear because it has become a part of our daily routine. Until we become aware of the fear that stifles us, we are then able to conquer it. How would you know what needs to be conquered, if you are unaware?
Being honest with yourself.
The truth shall set you free. I know many of you have heard this phrase before. But how does it set you free? I believe it starts with being honest with yourself at the core. It keeps you from creating false truths about yourself that can shape your life. When you lie, you have to keep covering it up with another lie and another lie and before long you begin to lose a sense of self and you cover up the true nature of who you are.
What are some of the flaws that are becoming or has become hard for you to accept? Write them down, as many as you can think of.
Many of you may begin to question, how does someone embrace something they don’t like? It’s like your mother telling you as a kid to eat your vegetables because they’re good for you, but how can something so nasty be good for me. Just like our flaws. They disgust us, we’re so quick to get rid of them, but they are apart of us and embracing them is healthy for us. Do this exercise:
What are your flaws? List them!
Think about how your past may affect your flaws. Think about why are you the way you are. Family traits? Cultural? Environmental?
Redefine your flaws. Re-word and Re-think how you view your flaws.
Make a list of your strength and abilities. Things like resilience, loyal, or patience. List them all, every one that you can think of.
Accept yourself! Accept your whole self, flaws and all. Besides we are all imperfectly perfect. Take the pressure off yourself, become aware of your flaws, and embrace YOU.
Sometimes we can walk around aimlessly, missing our mark, pursuing things that we know we don’t like. We need to let go, free our minds and make ourselves aware of the flaws that we allow to view negatively and view them in a positive light. At that moment, we can begin to embrace our whole selves, conquer fear and live out our lives without a care in the world.
