"Empowerment"

Today I am feeling empowered so while I am feeling it I want to write about it! I have a lot to say on this topic. It's taken me a long time to get here. I have always been the girl lacking self confidence, self esteem and afraid to use her voice. I have always been the girl hoping no one will notice her and hanging out in the background. Well I am finally stepping into my power and believing in myself. I am ready to come forward and speak my truth and show the world who I really am. It has taken me a long time to get here, I have had to really become aware of my thoughts and beliefs. I have realized it's a pattern that is constantly running in a loop in my mind. And I have finally become so over it, I have taken charge now. Because I finally know the truth and who I really am. I want to be her now. No more stories, and when stories start emerging, I catch them. I say to myself "I choose to be in my truth now." And I begin to tell myself what is true. I replace the stories I've been telling myself with the truth. I know I have written about this before, It is because this has been my biggest pitfall in my awakening. I am constantly having to catch the false thoughts and beliefs. If I let them take over, I start feeling shitty and my mind just takes over. When I am in my truth and aligned, I feel good. So that's where I want to stay.

We have everything we need inside of us. We can heal ourselves. The first step is catching these false thoughts and beliefs and replacing them with the truth. And telling yourself what you are needing to hear. At the beginning of my journey, I did not know how to love myself and I could not tell myself what I needed to hear. I didn't even know what I needed to hear. I didn't even know how to express my emotions. I had to be taught how to express my emotions. I was so closed off, I could not fully express myself and I could not let anyone in. With time and the right help, this all began to change.

"Empowerment is realizing you are the one who needs to say the things you've waited your entire life to hear."

-Matt Kahn

What is it that you have been needing to hear? What were you needing to hear as a child? I needed to hear "I am so proud of you", "you are doing so good." "You are never alone, I am always here with you", "you are safe, I will keep you safe." "You are so smart, kind, sweet, beautiful, and special." And the biggest one " I LOVE YOU." And I needed lots of hugs. So I hug myself now, I tell myself all these things and more. I tell myself everything I need and want to hear. I do this everyday and especially when I get caught in a false thought loop. It feels really good and I am getting really good at it finally. What is really sad to admit, at the beginning I couldn't do this and I didn't want to. Now I want to. Because I finally love myself and I know what self love is.

I have noticed I am more self confident now. I want people to see me and I want to express myself. It feels good and I can see how much my life is changing. No more hiding. I am staying in my truth and trusting my intuition instead of doubting myself. And this is the best feeling, to finally trust myself! Life really does just start to unfold and things become easier.
