Not everyone is going to understand you. Learning to walk alone and meet others just like you

Recently my journey has been quite lonely. Yet, I stay true to myself.

I have been afraid to stand up for what I believe in, yet, as I stand in my truth I know some people will drift away and others will resonate.

I am prepared to not fit in

For many years I have always fitted in. Yes sir, no sir.

I have been afraid to speak up when I felt something was wrong. I was terrified of other people feeling they know more than me, so I must trust them.

Yet, as I was lied to over and over again. I learned to keep trusting to keep listening and nodding.

However, the more I nodded the more unhappy I have become.

And as I started to speak, I started to have nightmares.

I had nights where I was crying ‘I feel they are going to kick my head in.’ and ‘I feel I am going to be attacked.’

So, I sank back. Froze and stopped speaking.

And instead, my body took the brunt. My periods became erratic and so did my moods. I became depressed holding onto how I felt.

I want to be true to myself.

I want to stop pleasing everyone

I want to speak my truth

I am opening myself

I am healing

I am letting go of this feeling

The body talks

From a physical point of view, my throat was sore, my eating habits changed, my chest was tight and I had headaches.

And as I started to let it out. I could feel the panic and paranoia rise within me. Self-care has definitely needed to be a priority.

And it hasn’t been easy.

I have felt my body freeze, something I am slowly working through by accepting a big need to comfort myself as I take these steps forward slowly.

It is OK to access your basic needs

What do I need during this time? To feel safe and loved.

There are a few ways I help myself feel safe as I am starting to speak out…

1. Switch off the noise – Switch off social media channels, the news and anything else where we feel a sense of panic, hystria or anything else that doesn’t align with you or your families deeper intuitive values.
2. Create a sense of safety – For me, I have been learning to create safety around me. surrounding myself with likeminded people, people who project love and strengthening relationships with those we love.
3. Remind myself I cannot control what is outside of me – As much as I would love to change the world. I find it is a very quick path to becoming ungrounded. I start to bubble up with anger inside. Yet, I cannot control what decisions are made in the world. What we can do is control how we react? I can also choose to express how I feel in my writing, speaking and learning. Yet, also keep inputting lot’s of love and care.

I am human and healing

It is OK to not force myself forward, it is OK to take small steps. It is OK that as I speak it brings up the need for validation. This means (for me) it is a prime time for love, devotion and to switch off from much of social media.

Validation for me, see’s my rise in seeking to be heard and understood.

However, as I face my need for validation. I am faced with the need to validate myself, listen to inner calling and understand myself.

Are you speaking your truth? How has this felt for you?
