LOVE YOURSELF! INSPIRATION
Inner Bonding vs. Inner Conflict
Have you ever felt the pang in your heart and stomach of not knowing what to do in a situation? Your mind swirls of wanting to believe something with all of your heart but knowing deep down inside that it may not be the right path for you. But if you choose not to follow that path it will leave you in the place of the unknown. The unknown can be pretty scary in comparison to what is known which is so much more comfortable. You come up with all sorts of justifications for that comfortable and known path like – “its better than nothing,” “maybe its just not as bad as it seems,” “perhaps I am overreacting,” or “its just not that important or serious.” And what do you do when you make up excuses for something or someone? You are lying to yourself, you are cheating yourself, and you are in a state of denial.
It is your choice to believe what you want to believe and do what you want to do. Being empowered is about connecting with your self in such away that you can be emotionally honest with yourself. Being emotionally honest with yourself is allowing yourself to feel what you need to feel and following those feelings to discover your answers, your truth. You are allowing your self to bond with your true self – the one who you really are inside not the one whom your family, friends, etc. want or expect you to be. When you do not connect with this part of you this is what creates inner conflict and turmoil. The misconception is, " if I do not follow what my friends, family, etc. want or expect of me I will experience pain, sadness, discomfort, grief, etc." The truth is if you do not follow your instinctual gut level feelings you will experience the heart ache in the long run – 100% guaranteed.
Inner bonding is a process of choosing loving behaviors towards yourself like following your heart, validating your feelings, protecting your boundaries and giving yourself permission to feel, be, do and have anything you want in your life. It also means that you unconditionally accept and love yourself. If you have any doubts about any decisions you must make, a path you should take or believing someone else’s truth, love yourself enough to check in with yourself. See how you feel about the situation and if it doesn’t feel right walk away, choose another path. You may not be able to explain why it is you feel the way you do but that doesn’t matter in the moment. It doesn’t need to make sense to anyone else. It needs only to feel right to you. By you choosing you, the way you feel in your heart, you will always win, feel good about you and the decision you have made – 100% GAURANTEED!
You are so loved, so love yourself just as much!
