Vulnerability
The last few weeks have a been a little bit rough for my clients and myself. The full moon sometimes affects our emotions and brings things to the surface. As a life coach, I teach people how to manage and release these thoughts and emotions. We are so afraid to let people see when we are weak and admit when we don't have it all together. The deepest relationships happen when we let go of the facet of perfectionism. To let people see everything; be transparent; open up all surfaces of our soul... You don't always HAVE to be strong. Open up your heart to others, tear down your walls and let them in.
"We don’t always have to be strong to
be strong. Sometimes our strength is expressed in being vulnerable.
Sometimes we need to fall apart to regroup and stay on track. We all have days when we cannot push any harder, cannot hold
back self-doubt, cannot stop focusing on fear, cannot be strong.
There are days when we cannot focus on being
responsible. Occasionally, we don’t want to get out of our pajamas.
Sometimes, we cry in front of people. We expose our tiredness,
irritability or anger.
Those days are okay.
They are just okay.
Part of taking care of ourselves means we give ourselves
permission to “fall apart” when we need to. We do not have to be
perpetual towers of strength. We are strong. We have proven
that. Our strength will continue if we allow ourselves the courage to
feel scared, weak, and vulnerable when we need to experience those feelings."
