Embracing your vulnerability
Be in the know when a new post drops!
Letting go of that fear of being rejected, judged, or misunderstood is key to unleashing your vulnerability. Yes, this may seem daunting, but it allows you to be authentic & true to not only yourself, but to your feelings.
Whether it be expressing your love to another person, asking for help when needed, or having the courage to speak up when upset, vulnerability will strengthen our relationship with others & with ourselves.
All of this requires us to step out of our comfort zone (yes scary I know, but worth it) & expose who we truly are. Once we do that our conenctions will become deeper, you will grow tremendously, & you will be able to navigate through life with greater ease. Start off small, share something personal that you typically would hold back on telling people. Admit your mistakes, don't feel ashamed about them, we're all human. Be true to you, even if it means standing apart from the opinions or expectations of others.
Lean into your feelings. Being vulnerable is NOT a sign of weakness. It's a sign of strength.
