We all have demons that live within our heads. Like imaginary monsters living under our beds, or hiding in our closets, these demons in our minds are also imaginary. We can either realise that if we decide to bring ourselves down, we are living in separation to source energy. When we don’t recognise our own light, we are literally vibrating against the Creator’s energy. Be willing to see yourself as the light being that you really are. Learn to be your number 1 cheerleader. Want yourself to win. Acknowledge that you have been through a whirlwind of a journey. You may have drowned a few times, or you may believe others tried to suffocate you. Either way, your soul is suffering and it is time to cultivate a flourishing garden in your mind and body.
By being your own best friend, you begin to ask yourself these important questions:
- Who am I?
- What do I like?
- What is important to me?
- What do I want to do with my life? What am I good at?
Keep going with this practice. This is a lifelong process, not an overnight recipe. You can’t expect things to change immediately so be gentle, very gentle with yourself.
- Be honest about your own limitations In all aspects of your life, be honest with yourself. Self-honesty is not something we are very good at doing for some reason. However only by making a sincere assessment of what is blocking you, repressing you, and holding you back, can you move beyond feeling insecure. You may wonder what does this have to do with feeling secure? Well most of the time, the things we are scared of in life are the very things we are meant to be doing.
In my case, I was terrified of speaking my truth. I was scared of speaking out loud generally. The fact that I did not use my voice kept me feeling very insecure. I could not participate in conversations the way I wanted to. I couldn’t share my thoughts in classrooms because I was afraid of what others thought of me. I did not want to be seen that I purposely played small to “safe”. Ironically, playing safe doesn’t make you feel safe. Only by working on opening up my throat chakra was I able to overcome this limitation and in turn, started to feel more secure about who I am and what I want to share.
Ask yourself and journal about these questions:
- What are my limited beliefs?
- What is my story? What do I feel is blocking me to fulfil my destiny?
When we were younger, we truly believed we could conquer the world but things happened and we stopped believing in ourselves. We had a few “bad” experiences and we’ve closed ourselves off from truly expressing ourselves. In the next post I’ll be sharing a few other ways to help you overcome insecurities. I hope you enjoyed reading these steps and if you have any comments, please do share them with me!
