However we also have to let go of the concept that something from the outside is inducing fear inside of us that we have to avoid or battle against. Our fear is something that wants to be heard and nourished, not ignored or shamed. Looking at ourselves in a negative way is learned. All the words I say about myself that are not positive were first said by someone else to me or I heard on the grapevine. We all are impacted from the beginning of our lives by external factors to bring sudden awareness of ourselves and our society labeled flaws. We end up in this process losing the sense of our own awesomeness that we naturally bring into this world as a kid. We so often look at kids in awe as they are joyous, happy and in the moment, they dance and play and sing and cry until, at a certain yôung age, it stops because they (we) are made to feel it no longer has space to belong. That is when we first learn that we are only loved under conditions. What if we changed this and love and shame became friends that found harmony. How would this look, or what tools would society need to introduce so we can all find more self love and acceptance? Comment below
