Think of a time you did something wrong and you were ashamed of your behavior. Or how about the time someone else did it, but you still feel bad about it anyway.
Are you carrying it around with you? Has it become part of the baggage you drag around day to day?
I am ashamed to say that I have been struggling with the size and “quality” of my posts. I want to provide more substance for you…but that has been keeping me away from posting. I have created an ideal that I continually fall short on providing, so I don’t post. Then I beat myself up because I haven’t posted!
I am dumping that!
I’m done with the idea of an ideal size and/or quality.
I am perfect in my imperfection ~ and so are you!
Shameful feelings can be about things that are big or small. Either way they are just as valid because they hold us back in life and usually cause us to make silly moves. Our thoughts and actions can bury us if we let them. I’m ready to do something different…and I invite you to pick one thing in your life to dump the shame on as well. Start with one and then when you see how good it feels maybe you can kick another one to the curb!
Action idea:
- Write whatever it is that you’re ashamed of on a piece of paper.
- Now destroy it!
- Crumble it up
- Tear it up
- Throw it away
- Burn it
- Flush it down the toilet
- Stick it in a balloon
- Feed it to your plants
- Get creative!
Repeat as often as necessary to feel better!!!
Do whatever it takes to set yourself free.
This post is my freedom and it feels divine. Look for more beautiful freedom to come.
