Initial Reaction


It seems I'm back in this blankity-blank spot again. I am bound and determined to climb out of this rut successfully without any bumps, bruises or muddy knees. We all go through periods of time when we wonder what did I do wrong this time?
“Be authentic without apologies. Allow yourself to feel the emotions you are feeling at this moment. Re-act to the situation without concern for another's criticism. There is no right way, there is no wrong way ~ embrace being YourTrueSelf.”


The quote above is the edited version of the stewing and percolating thought I woke up with yesterday. It's not that I am unemotional, sometimes I don't feel the need to be emotional. There's a lesson is this; a take-a-look-at-yourself kind of observation needing reviewing. Thoughts of: “Did I offend someone again because I didn't respond to the situation the way they wanted me too?” “Does it really matter if I hurt someone's feelings because they expected me to do it differently?” “Am I allowing me to be, well, me?”

It is such a common dilemma ~ worrying about what other people think of me. “Do I look okay?” “Am I doing the right thing?” “Do these pants make my butt look fat?” Truly, does it really matter? I enjoy being comfortable in my own shoes, walking my own path, but damn I'm getting tired of people (okay, the blame comes back to me) digging ruts and putting up barriers in the way of my journey. Truly, we do attract things into our lives to help us learn more about Self and Self-love, Self-appreciation, Self-awareness...

So ask yourself, Am I being authentic without apologies?
