How to Accept the Part of You, That You Shun
This post will explain how to be at peace with the part of you that you’ve run from for all these years.
“Facing ‘it’ instead of running from ‘it’ is an art.”
We unfairly reject pieces of ourselves, ahead of time.
We run away, escape, and distract ourselves from what truly is the work. Because it’s hard, uncomfortable to face, and feels unsafe.
I was recently coaching someone on full acceptance of THAT part of you, that you shun.
Think about that part of you, and how often you bypass it, reject it, or try to run from THAT part of you?
That part of you judge, reject, think less of, and truly wish you could just get rid of.
The part of you that disappoints you more than you want to admit.
And seems like a nuisance in your life.
Finding peace and freedom in your life
The thing that holds you back from the life you really want.
What if that part of you just needs to be seen, held, loved as is, and embraced as a part of you? What if you just needed a little reparenting?
What if compassion is the antidote to your shame
(***cue Bréne Brown)?
It seems counterintuitive and counterproductive to do so, but doing so will allow the space for growth and transformation. And above all else, peace and freedom come as you welcome this part and become whole & fully yourself.
Facing ‘it’ instead of running from ‘it’ is an art.
On the other side is a freedom & a peace beyond all understanding, waiting with open arms, for you on the other side.
In order to be seen, fully, by others, you have to be courageous enough to face the parts of you that have yet to be seen. Shame only makes you a victim.
This is my favorite type of work to do with my life coach clients because the impact is unmatched. Coaching with compassion breaks the floodgates open and makes the process more fun, easy, & fulfilling along the way.
Healing self sabotaging behaviors
ABOUT THE AUTHOR I’m Meg Smithson and I remember vividly the heartache, distress, and agony that self sabotaging behaviors caused me. Between eating disorders, anxiety, major self doubt, and constant imbalance, I couldn’t seem to live the fulfilling life I imagined.
If you are currently dealing with this, I get it & know exactly how you feel.
I spent a decade of heartache striving to fit the elusive mold of what mainstream considered “perfect” all while trying to figure out why I was put on this earth.
I learned to listen to what I needed…
…not what others expected of me. Gradually, I felt freedom like I had never imagined I could.
What does a relationship coach do?
Now, I teach women to find that freedom, too, by helping them create the relationship that they really want, faster by first healing their attachment to shame, people pleasing, & perfectionism.
