Reconnect I Introduction July

Introduction:

Reconnect; Meeting yourself as you are
July week 1

This month’s theme is about meeting yourself as you are.
Not the version of yourself you think you should be, and not only the parts that feel easy to understand or show to others, but the whole of who you are.

Because even as awareness grows there are still moments where we meet what is actually there within us, in real time.

How we speak to ourselves in those moments.
How we respond when something feels uncomfortable.
How we relate to the parts of ourselves we would rather not look at too closely.

For me personally, part of this journey has been learning to sit with the parts of myself that were shaped around performance, pressure, people pleasing, and the belief that my value was tied to how much I could carry, achieve, or hold together for others. Parts that for a long time I judged, pushed away, or tried to outgrow, rather than truly understand.

Slowly, I started learning to meet those parts with more honesty, curiosity, and compassion.
To understand where they came from, what they were trying to protect, and how deeply they had shaped the way I saw myself and moved through life.

This is where awareness starts to influence the relationship you have with yourself.

Perhaps the question for this month is; 

How do you respond to yourself in moments when you feel stressed, emotional, insecure, overwhelmed, or not fully in control?
