"What would happen if we felt what we felt, said what we wanted, become FIRM about our beliefs and valued what we needed?"
"What would happen if we let go of our camouflage of adaptation?" (This is sooo good to look at!)
The consequences of being true to yourself means that people may leave; may get angry; may be disappointed. But THAT IS OK!
And the one thing to note that is really important about this reading: If you are in survival modes of people pleasing; approval-seeking; fear of authority figures; needing to be right; needing to have your way; needing to be self-righteous - that is not your authentic self! Those are survival mechanisms and do not serve you at all.
Look at your dreams and desires and the things and people in your life that bring you joy and happiness. If you allow people to dump on you their opinions of you, you will enable them to control you and you are not being authentic.
I've been in environments where I felt like I didn't belong because of other people's behavior toward me. I finally came to the conclusion: "It's not that I don't belong; it's not where I belong. I need to belong with people who respect and honor me because I respect and honor myself.
In your journal today, write about those things that you value and how you can express them authentically without people-pleasing and all the other survival behaviors. And look also at the possible consequences of standing up for yourself and expressing yourself...you may lose some people...and can you be ok with that? Just explore!
