As we connect with this sense of self,
What happens is that we become more of who we are.
We embody more our true nature.
So it comes then naturally for us to show up authentically,
To show up as you are.
Because this,
Even though it sounds very simple,
This is one of the most difficult or challenging things because of the social expectations,
Because of social conditioning and because of inner child wounds.
But when you reparent yourself,
When you connect with that loving parent that exists within you,
And when you become that parent to yourself,
You have no need to please anyone else.
You don't need outside validations because you have that from yourself.
And this is so powerful.
This is one of the most powerful gifts you can gift yourself.
This is one of the most powerful tools that will help you move forward and become who you are destined to be and become who you know you can be.
And this is one thing,
Showing up authentically.
And the challenge,
The real challenge with this,
The real challenge with showing up authentically is healing the underlying insecurities.
Your inner voice,
Your inner critic,
Your inner child.
And then when you have enough security in yourself,
When you understand your value,
Then you raise your standards.
Then you connect with people who resonate your value system.
Then you connect with your dream life and it manifests itself in your life.
Then you become the person that you desire to be because you can show up authentically and it is no longer you needing to please somebody else's expectations.
You show up for yourself.
And oftentimes,
In order for all this transformation and healing to happen,
It takes small steps,
But daily steps.
For example,
Confronting your fear.
It can be a fear of speaking up,
Confronting your fear of being seen differently,
Or as someone that is different,
Or I don't know,
Whatever your fear is.
When you have the courage to look at yourself in the mirror and fulfill your own emotional needs,
Be true with yourself,
But at the same time,
Showing up for yourself.
And these are both very important because unless you are true with yourself,
You cannot acknowledge what actually is missing or what actually is keeping you in a fight or flight state,
On a fear-based state.
And this comes with confronting yourself or being honest with yourself.
This is the right word actually,
Being honest with yourself.
And then you start showing up for yourself as you'd show up for someone that you love.
And this is where the magic happens.
Because when you start to see yourself as someone that you love,
You start to show up better for yourself.
You start to show up more for yourself.
You start to take yourself in consideration and not let yourself down.
Because for many people,
It is so much easier to show up for others,
But it is more challenging to show up for yourself.
And until you start to see yourself as someone that you love,
It will be challenging for you to show up for yourself at all.
So in order for you to be authentic,
In order for you to show up for the life of your dreams,
You need to transform your connection and your relationship with yourself.
And this is where we start.
And you start to improve yourself,
Dog.
You start to speak in a more empowering way to yourself,
But at the same time holding yourself accountable without overwhelming yourself.
And this often comes through action.
When you start showing up for yourself,
When you say something and you do it,
You start addressing yourself more.
Self-love is not only staying on formations in the mirror,
Even though they are important.
Self-love means showing up for yourself.
And this makes it easier to shut out the social noises.
Because if the one person that you are responsible for,
If the one person that you have the responsibility to keep happy and healthy and safe,
Is yourself,
And you start and keep showing up for yourself,
What happens is that you understand that your voice is more important than the outer voices.
And not only you understand this logically,
But since you are showing up for yourself,
You are being honest with yourself.
You are starting daily progress,
Even if it is small.
And when you fall from this progress,
You get up again.
The small progress,
When it is daily progress.
In the long run,
It is so much more powerful than promising yourself the moon and the sky and showing up one day,
Two,
Three,
One month and then going backwards.
So we are aiming for small daily progress and resilience.
Because there are going to be days that you fail to show up for yourself.
And this is where compassion and resilience comes in.
Because you have to have compassion for yourself,
That you are doing your best.
And you have to be resilient.
And this compassion is part of the resilience.
Because I know that I did my best and I still couldn't succeed,
But I love myself enough.
I have compassion for myself to get out of this without beating myself up.
And this is so powerful.
This is the core of what we need if we want to show up authentically,
If we want to be ourselves,
If we want to have a healthy and strong connection with ourselves.
This is how it starts.
And as you go along the way,
It adds up.
But you have to have resilience and compassion for yourself.
And sometimes this self-love and self-trust is something that you learn along the way.
But you have to start somewhere.
This is my perspective.
And to be honest,
This is my experience with showing up authentically.
And so far I have seen a lot of progress.
And this is something,
It brings so much passion in me.
Because there are so many people that have so much great potential,
But are beating themselves up so much that that potential is buried somewhere.
Why are you doing this?
Show up for yourself.
Start somewhere.
You don't need to have everything figured out.
Start somewhere.
The most of people don't talk kindly to themselves.
Start somewhere.
All of us have days when we are not so kind to ourselves.
But the difference is if this situation,
Because life is full of challenges,
If this situation happened to you five years ago or one year ago,
And when you were in the darkness and you didn't know to talk kindly to yourself and to show up for yourself,
And if you can compare the now with that version of yourself there,
And there is progress,
That is a win.
You don't have to have it all figured out.
Just start somewhere and do small wins along the way.
And when you fall back,
You get back up.
And sometimes self-love means showing up for yourself and seeing yourself as someone that you love.
Because you are.
And I say all of this with so much love in my heart.
But loving someone also means being honest with them.
Being kind but honest.
And in order for you to be yourself,
Your authentic self,
It is an ongoing process.
Because life happens and challenges come.
But when you start to focus on small progress,
Daily progress,
Nurturing yourself,
Seeing yourself with compassion and empowerment,
Seeing yourself with a heart full of love,
Even when you are angry,
Even when your heart is aching,
When this feels impossible,
In order for you to get to a point that this is a reality,
You have to start small.
And you have to start somewhere.
And gather small wins along the way.
And fill your life with positive voices.
Even if it means content.
Even if it means just positive content.
Empowering content.
People that are true to you but at the same time hold you accountable.
In a kind way.
So you can stop beating yourself up and get up and do stuff.
We forget how important it is to be kind to yourself in order for you to get up and do stuff.
Because for many people,
A lot of stress means moving into a state of freeze.
And freeze means non-action.
I say this with so much love and I wish every one of you to be whatever you see yourself becoming.
Whatever your vision of yourself is.
Whatever your vision of the future is.
I really hope you the very best.
And I see you becoming.
You have the potential in you to accomplish anything that you want to accomplish.
And to manifest everything that you want to manifest in your life.
Sending you so much love.
Bye for now and we'll hear again in the future.
