Mindful Moments - Embracing Yourself

Focus on embracing yourself fully. The true view is not what we see on social media in society. Realize that your life is the whole experience of ups and downs. We are here to be human. Imperfectly perfect.

Welcome to Holistic Wisdom's Mindful Moment.

My name is Janelle Lynne.

Thank you for being here.

Today's Mindful Moment is on Embracing Yourself Fully.

The reason why we struggle with insecurity is because we compare ourselves behind the scenes with everyone else's highlight reel.

So when do we take our masks off?

When we're with our loved ones?

When we're alone?

The majority of us are so used to pretending.

We may have forgotten how to be honest and raw.

Our society promotes the illusion of complete happiness and accomplishment.

The truth is that no one feels complete and joyous all of the time.

The world we live in is based on contrast.

The more restricted you are,

The more you crave freedom and liberation.

The more shut down you are,

The greater your search for validation and recognition.

There can't be a light without its opposite of darkness.

However,

People like to parade on social media,

On the streets,

Or during events and gatherings.

They show off their false strength,

Their inauthentic selves,

And this is what makes them feel warm temporarily on the inside.

This might even make them feel normal.

We've all experienced painful events and traumatic situations.

We aren't here to be perfect,

But we are here to be human.

For today's mindful moment,

Look at all the hidden aspects of yourself,

Or at least the ones that you're willing to see right now.

Observe the things you don't want anyone else to see and ask your inner wisdom to guide you into embracing yourself fully.

Today's mindful affirmations.

I choose to embrace my vulnerabilities fully,

And by doing so,

I am stronger than ever.

I am looking at myself with honesty,

Care,

And attachment.

As the play of existence harmoniously unfolds,

I inquire my mind,

But I do not doubt myself.
