Ya, I know. Voice can be a bitch.
Sometimes the words just flow from us like water down a lazy river. Other times, just thinking about certain words, phrases, or the face of the person we want to say it to, can make us feel like avoiding the conversation at any cost, even if it means we carry around a big knot in our gut.
None of that changes the fact that there are things that need to be said, things that we need to express to keep ourselves whole and happy.
We’ve all had circumstances where we need to show up standing tall in our own truth. And chances are we’re going to keep getting those amazing divine reminders that it’s our job to care for ourselves first, even when we’re scared shitless.
Try these on for size…
The top 3 things we need to get good at saying to others
“I’m leaving you.”
“I can’t help you with that.”
“I want more money, time or love. “
And for an added bonus: The top 3 things we need to get good at saying to ourselves
“I forgive you.”
“I promise you”
“I love you enough to honour all of your needs.”
You feeling any of these?
Each line can crack us open just a little bit more. They ask us to be vulnerable, honest, and real in the face of fear and change — not just with others, but with ourselves too.
This isn’t really about your fear or your vulnerability though, you already know them well. It’s about how you want to feel.
It’s about using your voice for your truth, for making healthy connections, for love, and for healing.
Let’s do a practice run so you’re closer to being ready if and when the time comes. Try saying the lines one at at time while looking in the mirror. Or try writing the lines in your journal and reflect on your own inner strength.
Or, if you are called to, say one of the lines to someone who you need to say it to.
And let the healing begin.
With so much love for a loud, strong voice!
