I watched a TED Talk this weekend featuring Brene Brown, and so much of what she said is what I believe in, but hearing it put so thoughtfully and elegantly really made it all hit home. It sunk in, deeply. Here goes...
Believe you're worthy of love and belonging.
The commonalities of this include wholeheartedness, have a sense of courage (telling who you are with your whole heart); treat yourself with compassion.
The result will be authenticity. Your authenticity.
Also, be willing to embrace your vulnerability.
You can't numb the bad stuff - fear, pain - without numbing the other affects like joy, happiness, love.
We are imperfect and wired for struggle but we are worthy of love and affection.
Be authentic and real. How?
1. Let ourselves be deeply seen
2. Love with our whole hearts
3. Practice gratitude and joy
4. Realize that we are enough.
Doing this will make us kinder and gentler.
