There was a time I said yes when I meant no, always explaining myself too much because or ignoring the tightness in my chest, that ni**le in my gut that told me something wasnāt right, often dismissing my instinct about people and situations.
I thought the right thing to do was to keep the peace, telling myself it was easier that way, but really, I was keeping myself small and disconnected.
Things felt challenging, like a a battle between what was right for me and what actually was the right thing to do. My body, my soul, knew. And yet I still couldnāt understand why I felt confused, triggered and all that came with not being honest.
The shift came when I stopped abandoning myself. Huge difference.
I started listening to my body,to the heaviness, the pull, the gut knowing.
I stopped needing to explain my choices.
I began trusting that my truth was reason enough and realising the need to make others understand me.
I built boundaries that protected my peace, even when itās been hard, and reminded myself what actually matters: my values, my energy, my integrity.
I began being honest, even when it was uncomfortable, with myself and with others.
The pushback was real, but building trust with myself was, and is, far too important.
You donāt owe anyone your energy at the cost of your peace, itās a process to make the shift but it does have a positive impact and helps you to learn to stay with yourself, from a place of love and device for yourself and others.
Thatās where your power lives.
So, maybe ask yourself where you still may abandoning yourself and what would shift if you started listening instead?
The moment you choose to switch up your perspective, to build that relationship with yourself, everything changes my love š¤
