Confidence: Discard Your False Self

You know that badass magickal being of breathtaking wonder that you want to be? Well, you already ARE. "But I still need to clean up my eating / lose weight / get my life together / stop doing that thing / exercise more!" No girl. You don't.

Whoever showed you or told you those things was lying to you. It may have been yourself or it may have been capitalistic advertisements trying to make you think you desperately needed something to be your best self. You don't need to change anything about yourself to be a beautiful breathtaking miracle. Your very life is a gift to us all.

So ask yourself & be really honest... I want you to really dig deep & ask this question to that inner part of yourself that loves putting on a swingy dress or running barefoot on a warm Spring day: who are you doing it for? Who is it that you put on that outfit for? Whose thoughts are you hoping to intrigue with those selfies? Who are you putting on long pants for on a hot summer day even though you don't want to? If you say, "Well ME!" to any of these, I want you to ask again. Because we all have an inner voice that we were trained to have. An inner dialogue so ingrained that we think it is our own, when in reality it is made up of a million different social protocols & experiences that we only observed. 98% of that conversation we have in our minds isn't even our own wishes or thoughts. This voice is your 'false self.' Half the time you are calculating the outcome of what someone else might think or say & basing your decisions / actions off of that. Girl- I'm gonna call it: that's CRAZY. That is literally the definition of schizophrenia. That is what the detrimental side of media has done to our brains.

If you can tell yourself that you still choose something no matter what someone else may say to you about it, then that's being your true self. But don't forget that follow through! If you truly love laying around all day & eating cake but you also love wearing skimpy outfits, then you gotta be prepared to do both regardless of how you think someone might view your body in that tiny dress. If you just can't then you have to ask yourself: do I really like wearing that tiny dress? Or am I just trying to fit into an image that I was once comfortable with but no longer brings me joy? Change is healthy. Sometimes,, staying the same is healthy.

Point is, at the end of the day, you gotta decide what REALLY real for you. Because at the end of this life, the only regrets we can truly have are the ones where we realize we didn't let this person inside, our SOUL, really live. Your existence isn't someone else's canvas. It's Spirit's gift to you. Honor that, love!
