Mirror of Relationships

Our world and the way we view it is shaped by the way we view ourselves. This is called the “mirror of relationships.” I am guilty of projecting my inner values, insecurities and unconscious bias into each connection with others. Does this resonate with you? 

It makes sense that we are attracted to what we know. There’s comfort in familiarity.  Even if what we recognize is painful, we are drawn to both the positive and negative versions of ourselves. 

Can you see how that shows up in relationships? I know I can. 

Something unresolved within you is manifesting in a relationship. For me, when I am reactive with someone in conflict, I know it arises from something uncomfortable within me that needs healing. Self-reflection is a shaping tool for growth. I use my intuition and heart to guide me to where my soul wants to go.  I encourage you to do the same. 

One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is to begin unraveling the negative entanglement of energy within. Attune to the emotions, the ego, and the mask that’s used to hide true authenticity. We as human beings don’t thrive on the thought of uncertainty.  However, there’s so much bravery in being vulnerable and having self-acceptance. The more open I am, the more secure I feel. 

Accept your imperfections. They are beautiful. 

Accept your insecurities. They are simply small hills you haven’t courageously climbed yet. 

Accept your love. It’s as pure as gold, even if it’s still gently being healed, explored, and caressed.

Accept you for you. The brave, the bold, the magnificently wonderful you.
