Great meeting. It got me thinking…
My injury in creativity and in being seen I see as a relational injury. Worthiness injury. I have overstepped boundaries in the past and in an effort to reduce harm, became very careful, vigilant and small. And it was also a teaching from formative relationships, an intelligent response to protecting myself in younger years. But it became so constricting. It became a vice so tight I stopped making, connecting. And having to abandon my voice, right to mistakes, or simply a different opinion, became a habit. So I am actively now searching for different ways to unwrap it, how to excavate intentions, and beliefs. That happens in this group, which I love.
The thing I’ve done mostly to examine my limiting beliefs around care and responsibility, was shame work. That work would take me straight to what was supporting it. What I uncovered was—I am too much. To be a good person I need to be humble. I am responsible for others feelings.
To bridge that belief to have more nuance and compassion I thought…
I am inherently worthy. I can speak and take up space. I am learning and growing. I will do the repair when there is a rupture. I am not responsible for others feelings. It is ok if this takes me time while I am learning safety in being seen, with my strength and imperfections. I bring my own ingredients to the world.
It is a gradual process, but is changing how I show up and make things and share things too.
