Musings
““To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don’t try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.””
Connect to Your Core Self Again
Do you feel disconnected from your purpose, passions, and identity? Do you struggle to be vulnerable and express your feelings? Perhaps your current ways of functioning are no longer serving you, and you’re tired of trying to survive and figure things out on your own. You have worked past the point of burnout, and you’re unclear how to get back on track. Perhaps your identity feels unclear and fragmented, and you would like to figure out how to develop your passions and purpose in life, rather than working to survive each day.
There are so many distractions in today’s society that can result in a deviation from your Core Self and path in life. Healing is the process of brushing away the layers of shame, egoism, trauma stories, rigidity, social training, ascribed labels, and social masking to connect back to your core identity and purpose in life. When you reacquaint with your Core Self, you set your soul free to connect to your most genuine expression of self and can move forward to embrace life with a greater sense of authenticity and genuineness.
Once your Core Self is relocated within you, you can learn to separate from negative feelings, trust your intuitive inner voice, and redevelop a close connection with yourself. Life welcomes more room for playfulness, exploration, love, abundance, and joy when survival no longer usurps your emotional energy. Connecting to your authentic sense of self enables you to connect to your desires, passions, and path in life, leading to a more meaningful and fulfilling existence.
Healing, joy, and connection is possible. You do not deserve unhappiness, depression, anxiety, pain, or loneliness. The hardest part is the first step, but at Thea Integrative Therapy, we strive to connect with you wherever you are within our life’s journey, and to shine a light into the dark recesses of your soul.
