Day 17--Emotional Shedding

OMG, this has been such a week! I had a dream about the yoga studio where I work. I was stuck behind the front desk, surrounded by towels and I couldn't move. Oy!

I have been letting go of:

the concept that I am not allowed to shine
the notion that I have to be perfect
the tendency to fill the empty spaces with stuff
the need to be someone other than me or to look like someone I'm not
the idea there isn't enough and that's why I need my "stuff"

I have been angry, grieving, anxious, my body hurts. I have wanted sugar to soothe the hurts--which I don't always eat. I am standing up for myself at work. I am meeting myself with love, even when I don't feel lovable. I am applying compassion, kindness and gentleness.

This is only temporary!

Oh, Thank You! I don't feel like I do shine and I sure haven't given myself that permission. But...I think that I must radiate something! :)

Much Love,
