I Allow Myself To Be Vulnerable
It takes courage to be vulnerable. The fearless heroes depicted in books or movies, who consider rigidity and anger a strength, are depicting only weakness and cowardice. Admitting that we are afraid and revealing the intimate parts of ourselves demands an inner power that no physical strength can compete with. It takes courage to show up fully in each moment, just as we are, and let that be okay.
Practice being vulnerable today. Share something about yourself with another, something that you would be more 'comfortable' keeping to yourself. Go on, say it! Doesn't it feel freeing to reveal yourself? Did anything bad actually happen, or did you instead feel closer to the other person in that moment?
