Dear fellow
travelers,
Thank you again for
being you. What a gift you are.
I have been
reflecting on a class in which I am involved.
Its focus is on
being real, this translates into being your real self, feeling safe to express
your real feelings, allowing yourself to say, with love, what you really think
and feel. To express your real emotions with appropriate.
Just think how
great that would be in all situations, to be able to say:
I don't like this
or that, or I don't really want to do this or that.
How freeing!!! It
would be for me anyway.
Even thru I think I
do that,
When I really think
about it, I find myself still avoiding being totally honest in some situations,
and what's that from?? Feeling I wouldn't be accepted or liked or causing
people to talk. or thinking that its not that important anyway.
---
Thinking more into
it. People are going to talk anyway if they choose.
Wow, this isn't
that easy for me. A lot to digest.
We as women were
trained to be giving, and accepting and .
ignoring our own
wants for others: and maybe not even knowing what our wants are.
Wow again.
I know sometimes
when I say what I think, guilt creeps in that I may have upset someone.
even thru I
intellectually know I cant make anyone feel a certain way.
I really have some
stuff to work on.
Freedom is what I
want.
How is this for
you, how often do you say or do what you truly want to say or do?
Just pondering on
being real
