There is nothing wrong with you

Today I have a short message for you, one which I think we all miss hearing, especially when we are struggling or getting stuck in our lives.

Nothing is wrong with you.

Nothing is wrong with you.

Nothing is wrong with you.

You may be navigating through difficult times, meeting with different fears and emotions that burden you. You may need to find new ways of acting and being in your relationships. You are maybe dealing with physical pains, but nothing is wrong with you! There are maybe things that are wrong FOR you....

The struggles we go through are the natural ways for us to discover what nourishes us, what fires our passion up, and what gives us growth and satisfaction. It is also the constant clarification of what we need to refuse, what we need to strengthen and heal, and what it is we carry from past interactions and experiences, that should not be suffocated inside of ourselves any longer.

When we keep that idea that something is wrong with us, we blind ourselves and disconnect from our ability to learn, heal shift, and change.

This idea may jump into our minds as we have learned to fear and not trust ourselves and our intuition.

It is often a point of view we adopted in childhood, when our surroundings did not give us the support and holding, we needed. They may have been unable, trapped in their own misconceptions and fears, to meet and see what we were and needed.

This often led to us being cut off from what we knew we needed and felt.

We started to fear and distance ourselves internally from the same things that were uncomfortable or not understood by others.

Maybe the next time you may notice you look at yourself with those dismissive eyes thinking: “what is wrong with me? ", try to take a moment to breathe, and instead of being harsh, cold, and judgmental towards yourself, say these words with attention, curiosity, and love.

See if you can create some softness in your body intentionally, giving space to the different sensations and your breath.

You may feel discomfort and would try to escape that state. Instead, train to be patient.

Stay with it until you can shift and feel new.

And you will.

This is what naturally happens.

Things flow in you. And when they do, they shift.

They search for the light.

They search for relief.

They search to be well.

Patience is how you connect to your inner trust and stability.

When you then say companionably: “What is wrong? "What do you need?

Be interested.

Be willing to feel and hear these internal answers, as you would have liked to be heard, listened and seen by people as a child. Or even today.

This approach of: “something is wrong with me…” is filled with fear.

It rejects that which needs to be felt and heard.

It offers no space for love and attention and acceptance. It reduces the chance to heal and breaks free from oppressive ideas, behaviors, and situations. It makes us get stuck in the unwanted and suffering.

Instead of thinking "something wrong with me”, remind yourself that whatever you feel and go through, is how that inner voice of yours, your truth, and who you are, are trying to come out. To find relief. To heal, and thrive again.

It is the way so many aspects of yourself that were shut down, held back, and covered up, are trying to be rediscovered and freed.

Nothing is wrong with you. Nothing ever was.

You are here to move through your life and continuously find ways of expanding your heart, moving through difficulties, and creating more beauty and connection.

Yours
