As a result of recently, feeling vulnerable, I’ve felt the need for nurturing.
What I know personally about becoming vulnerable, it can be a scary thing. It’s about putting myself out there for the world to see. Allowing myself to be seen.
For instance, when I wrote my story in the Amazon Best Seller, Succeeding In Spite of Everything, “Into The Light”, there were many tears and lots of fear as I was sharing my story with the world.
Hence, I wanted to turn and run away many times in the process of all of this. When I created the video and the audios for the multimedia version of this book, I had many fears about how I would be perceived.
As a result, it all turned out, putting myself out there to be seen, was one of the best things I have ever done. I was stronger and surer of who I was, and clearer about why I’m here on this planet, by the end of this project.
As author, Brene Brown speaks of, people who embrace their vulnerability, are “Wholehearted People”, who have courage. They are people who have a sense of love and belonging and believe they are worthy.
“Vulnerable people know they are enough. Being kind and gentle with themselves and others is understood.
They know what makes them beautiful and know it’s necessary to be vulnerable.
It shows the world who they are. It is the birthplace of love, joy, creativity and belonging.
When we numb our vulnerability, we numb our connections, joy, love and gratitude.”
Ultimately, I know I have so much to give to others, even if it may not work out. (whatever “it” is.)
Since I know I matter and know I am enough, I choose to continue to be vulnerable. And I do my best to love with my whole heart.
Furthermore, taking time to slow down and nurture myself, are key.
Additionally, just this week, as I experienced the prep and a colonoscopy, being put to sleep, I felt vulnerable. Taking time afterward to nurture and take care of myself was necessary.
When do you feel this way and know you need to nurture and take care of yourself?
I wish for you to allow yourself to be vulnerable and then nurture yourself.
