Welcome back to Kindful The Podcast!
In this episode I share about my realisation that perhaps I am the one dimming my own light and dulling my own sparkle. I am the one getting in my own way, by not believing in and trusting myself.
This has been a hard pill to swallow - literally and figuratively, with my body experiencing indigestion recently, as it struggles to stomach the fact that a part of me still doesn't fully believe in myself.
But through awareness, we can begin to peel back these layers and realise that this is not who we truly are underneath it all. That we have picked these beliefs and this self doubt up somewhere along the way, and that we don't have to carry this any longer.
We are free to let these beliefs that hold us back go now, and to reconnect with that inner child, who is so imaginative, so full of dreams and possibility. The part of us that believes that we can do anything, and that allows us to experience all of the joy, wonder and excitement that life has to offer.
So yes, this journey of self discovery will ask us to look at the things that are uncomfortable in order to heal and process them. But it will also ask us to look for joy in the journey too.
Thank you so much for being here and being you.
