truth-telling

Do not keep the truth buried down inside you.

Do not carry on with your life, in denial of what needs to be said or done, in denial of how you feel or what you know to be true.

Do not stifle your truth in favor of comfort or convenience.

Your body knows.

When you hold all that power down inside you, your body can tell, and it’s impacted.

The pressure builds.

Your mind will be on overload, even if you aren’t aware that it is.

Even if the truth is scary, difficult, liberating, transformative, heavy, dark, tricky, or all of the above… it must be shared, it must be lived, it must be welcomed.

The honesty, freedom, release, healing, and celebration that can grow from that place of truth-telling will be worth it.

It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small.

Tell the truth with your life. Your wholehearted yeses, your intuitive nos. All that is hard and unsolved within you, all that is bold and sure.

Let everything come to the surface. No more stifling.

If it was an unconscious burying, that’s okay! Just choose to redirect once you realize.

You can uncover and let the light in.

The awareness, acceptance, and flow bring us to our truest selves and lives.

This is how we nurture our bodies, minds, and spirits, instead of accidentally forcing them to be the containers of our ignored or untold experiences. (With honest acknowledgement comes a happier, healthier, functioning, feel-good body and mind; our inner lives and physical lives are one hundred percent connected.)

This is how we get what we need and what we want, how we live with authenticity and responsiveness, and how we show up for a life that’s better than we could even imagine.

Even if it starts with a challenge or a scary truth.

We can do hard things.
