Self-acceptance
Feb 8th, 2009 Posted in Being in the process | no comment »Seeing a pattern
I recently realised something that was causing a lot of stuck, and hence things like my munchkin and my crab: I don’t trust myself.
Let’s make that I didn’t trust myself. Now I have written out an intention to make sure that whatever I do I make sure I am nurturing myself as well, because I’m no use to anybody if I don’t look after myself.
No man is an island
Self-trust however does not exist in isolation, it comes as part of a package, and all the pieces look like they’re needing a little attention. The latest one to raise it’s head is self-acceptance. There are parts of me that I don’t like, that I think are unacceptable or that I think people will judge me for. I’m not even sure what they all are, but I’m starting to pick them out and try and get to know them.
Step 1: stop ignoring these parts of myself
Step 2: finish step 1 then think about what’s next
Thanks, Joely for the reminder. (And also for the validation that sometimes the best ideas come in the middle of the night.)
