Lies you are telling yourself, that are keeping you from personal growth.

*Trigger Warning*
If you are functioning from a victim mentality or a space of “my problems are bigger than anyone else's” this may land a little harshly for you. 🤍

Here are some common lies our ego likes to tell us...especially in times of high stress like the holiday season, family events, financial ebbs & flows etc.

⏰ “I have no time for …(usually something for yourself)

💰 “I have no money for… (usually something for yourself)

😩”I will never be able to...”

These low vibrational statements are actually forms of self-shaming. They are also, even more commonly, excuses….fed by fear and laced with limiting belief.

They’re stunting your growth & your healing. Actually they’re flat out stomping all over it. 🌱

So wtf do you do with that?!?

Well for one if you refuse to recognize your own shadow self, you will continue to point it out to others; meaning dumping your unresolved traumas and challenges on people rather than navigating them yourself. (see our “Shadow is one of our Greatest Gifts” post)

👀 Notice when these feelings or thoughts listed above show up for you; certain situations, certain people, certain environments. Are they cyclical or momentary?

🗣Do you really believe what you’re saying? Do you really have “no money”...
Or is it just easier to align with something you’ve been told to believe or have leaned on believing most of your life? Like...putting your peace or joy last especially when it comes down to spending money, time or energy?

✋🏻Are you projecting your challenges onto other people? Making it their responsibility to “fix it” for you? Do you even recognize you’re doing it? That story will get old and tired quickly.

That story will get old and tired quickly.

🧘🏼‍♀️ The anecdote to this..breath and gratitude to slow down the spiral.

🪞 Then reflection & accountability. 

💧 Release what is no longer yours to carry. Did someone hand you a belief as a child without warning or try to stuff you into a box now as an adult, mother, small business owner, wife etc?

💃🏼 Move. Through. To feel is to heal.  (we know just the place to do this) 

👣Make a change. A real one...not just a new years resolution.

🤝Surround yourself with people who are also tuning themselves into a higher vibration. This is old school AF but it’s true...misery loves company. Like attracts Like. Are you keeping the best company? (and we know...it’s really hard with family this time of year. We have classes that create tools around this too.)

✨✨✨✨

And lastly...for now...open yourself up to all the potential and possibility that is YOU. And yes do we know it’s scary... but not as scary as lying to yourself or the heavy lifting of living in fear or lack. Not as scary as expecting other people to “fix” your problems for you. 


Ask yourself this…

✨What is it that you want? 

✨Who do you want to be?

✨What stories are you ready to be let go of?

✨What can you do today to support this awareness and growth?
