Ep. 20 Chasing Perfection vs. Authentic Living

Mind, Body, Soul stuff

Why is living in our authenticity one of the greatest things we can do? How do we do it? What does it mean? How are we harming ourselves and others by only putting out what is "Love & Light" chasing the illusion of 'perfect' by not honouring aspects of our entire selves including grief - anger, sadness, fear, including the pain, our wounds. Why do we label emotions such as anger and sadness as bad or wrong??? How can we trace those emotions back to their root wound in order to truly heal? or simply give them acknowledgement to let them pass rather than subconsciously shove them down. How does ignoring our grief turn into raging anger, anxiety and depression? How can we practice and release anger in a healthy way? Why is it so essential that we do so? We need to feel all feelings in order to heal, to learn to grow. We need to listen to all the parts of us including our wounded child in order to truly Love and accept ourselves. Over years of hurt we build barriers blocking out not only pain but also Love. Grief work is key to Self Love and I am so grateful to Donna Lancaster and thebridgeretreat.com for holding space for me always on this journey of healing.
