If you know that you are fiercely independent,
If you recognize that within yourself and you are ready and willing to rewrite that dominant narrative,
Then this audio is for you.
There are a couple of different ways that you might like to work with this audio.
You might like to play it on repeat,
Or you might like to grab your journal and pen and make notes of how true each statement feels out of ten.
You can then repeat this practice in the future to notice any changes that might have taken place for you.
Regardless of how you choose to work with this audio today,
I invite you to find yourself a comfortable seated position where your spine is supported.
Make sure you will not be disturbed and begin to deepen your breath.
Sending your inhale and your exhale.
Breathing with intention and awareness.
And when you are ready,
Let's begin.
When I reject help,
Support and assistance,
I rob others of the opportunity to feel the deep satisfaction that comes from supporting another human.
To be able to receive is not a weakness.
Pursuing perfection is a waste of my time.
When I fly solo,
I tend to complicate things.
Vulnerability is not just reserved for others,
I can be vulnerable too.
I am the only one who expects perfection from me.
When I am being stubborn,
I am not open to alternatives that may be better or more efficient.
Fierce independence should not be worn as a badge of honour.
My fear of failure is not in charge anymore.
Contrary to what my beliefs might tell me,
Being supported does not mean I am incompetent.
Yes I am capable and I can handle a lot,
But it is much harder if I do it all by myself.
When I try to do everything alone,
I've lost sight of the power of community.
Being able to accept and receive support is a strength.
I choose excellence over perfection every day of the week now.
When I am feeling overwhelmed,
It is safe and okay to reach out to others.
There is strength in my vulnerability.
Nobody expects perfection from me.
Instead of stubbornness,
I now choose to be open to alternative ways of being,
Doing and seeing things.
I no longer cling to the familiar,
To what I know,
And I open my mind,
My heart and my limited perspective.
I am open to see what I have not seen before.
Independence is healthy,
As long as there is a healthy dose of humility to go with it.
I choose to transmute my fear of failure into curiosity.
I am competent and I am also open and willing to see the golden nuggets that others may bring to my world.
Everything is easier when I have help and support.
I like easy.
I choose easy.
I release my fierce independence and I choose support,
Help,
Assistance and easy.
I release my emotional attachments to my fierce independence and I welcome peace.
I breathe it in and I breathe it out,
Welcoming the peace and releasing the fierce independence.
I am now ready.
I am ready.
