Some of you guys will probably find these posts self indulgent and boring but I'm following along here so I can get some things down on paper. I really do encourage everyone reading to grab a copy of the book and follow along too.
The book is a pretty easy read and the podcasts make working out fly by.
In the first post some questions were asked of us that I'm now going to answer here.
1. What scares you about this journey?
I think in doing any sort of self work there's always the fear of revealing. Revealing old wounds. Injures. Hurts. Uncovering scary parts of yourself. That Marianne Williamson quote everyone attributes to Nelson Mandela about it's our light not our darkness that we fear most.
For me I'm afraid if I dig too deep I'll have to make some hard decisions about people I love. That it will change how I view them. That I'll unearth resentment for how I was treated or things that happened to me in the past.
That people won't love or accept me or understand what I'm doing. That I really won't be good enough.
2. What scares you about staying where you are?
Never being able to fully experience joy, love, or acceptance. Particularly self acceptance. Being stuck with a loop of hurt from old things I need to just let go already. Never being able to turn off the voice in my head that tells me I'm not good enough.
3. What makes you hopeful about the journey? what would you love to find?
That I'll finally be able to look in the mirror and really love what I see. That I'll find a tribe of women that would move a body.
