I healed my SHAME. ⠀
⠀
The shame I had been carrying around me since I was 12.⠀
⠀
It felt heavy, secretive like I was “wrong”, I was a bad person…⠀
⠀
How many of you feel the same way about something in your life that you feel ashamed about?⠀
⠀
Shame is debilitating, it makes us cower inside. It’s low vibration. ⠀
⠀
⠀
💫 How do you heal shame?⠀
⠀
⠀
It was a question that came up in a meet up I went to today.⠀
⠀
Here’s how I healed my shame:⠀
⠀
1️⃣ I talked about it.⠀
⠀
It was confronting, I felt ashamed to share, I did it anyway.⠀
⠀
You can choose to share with a complete stranger or with people you trust. ⠀
⠀
The main point is to speak about it.⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
2️⃣ I forgave myself.⠀
⠀
I am not a bad person. I didn’t do anything wrong. ⠀
⠀
Why am I beating myself up about it inside? Why is it still with me?⠀
⠀
I love you⠀
I forgive you⠀
I thank you⠀
I release you.⠀
⠀
⠀
Repeat those words again and again to yourself. ⠀
⠀
Forgive yourself. It’s no use carrying the shame around with you for the next years.⠀
⠀
⠀
⠀
3️⃣ I asked myself what I learnt by this shame.⠀
⠀
What was the gift, the teaching?⠀
How could I grow from this?⠀
⠀
Perhaps even if it is just sharing about it with more people because if I felt shame around it more people would have too.⠀
⠀
Journal, talk, ask…⠀
⠀
This is a chance for you to expand into a more vibrant being from this.⠀
⠀
⠀
💫⠀
⠀
And when you manage to release the shame (or even a part of the shame)⠀
⠀
You start to feel⠀
⠀
🙌🏼 LIGHTER⠀
🙌🏼 FREEER⠀
🙌🏼 HAPPIER⠀
⠀
Like why didn’t I do this earlier?⠀
Why have I been carrying this around for days/months/years.⠀
⠀
You got this.⠀
⠀
You can be you without the baggage.⠀
⠀
What shame are you ready to release today?⠀
