Listen. Because listening’s important:
Hi and welcome to the Re-Enchant Your Life reminder.
Your sacred pause in the day where you’re encouraged to take a moment to stop and tune into your inner wisdom and become present, so that you can reconnect to your personal power and confidently embrace who you’re becoming, as you Re-Enchant Your life and create the change you truly desire.
Today you’re being reminded to not let the judgements of others define you.
Accept that people are going to judge you, but you don’t have to let their judgement define you.
The more you commit to Your SHEro’s Journey the more you’ll find yourself making choices that prioritise you and your needs, and these choices may go against what other people expect of you and from you.
Perhaps you’ll do things that break from the expectations of your family or those of society.
Maybe you’ll prioritise your own experiences and growth over other people’s comfort.
Maybe you’ll learn to express a side of you that you have not shown before and this may make other people uncomfortable.
Do it anyway.
People are going to judge you.
Do it anyway.
You may trigger other people who are invested in you staying the same.
They may not like the changes you choose as it goes against their world view or upsets their routines.
Do it anyway.
People may judge you as a way of trying to control or manipulate your behaviour and choices.
They may judge you because they don’t understand your choices.
They may judge you because they need to do much of their own inner work.
They may judge you because they need to begin their own SHEro’s Journey but have yet to commit to it.
Do it anyway.
People will judge your choices, and the reasons they do are their reasons and not a reflection of who you are.
Do not let the judgements of others define who you are or how you think about yourself.
In this very moment, pause, and take a breath. As you let go of other people’s judgements.
Today’s SHEro Action:
Today’s SHEro action is to notice where you’ve been holding back because of the expectation of, or the actual judgements of others.
Consider what it is that you need so that you can move forward in alignment with your truth.
Maybe it’s nurturing more resilience and courage within yourself.
Perhaps the guidance of a trusted friend, mentor or coach.
Perhaps you need to have a conversation with the person to discuss choices, feelings and your on-going relationship.
Pause, and take a breath. As you confidently and unapologetically live your life.
Today’s Affirmation:
“I move forward with confidence”
I’ll see you tomorrow for your daily reminder to Re-Enchant Your Life with me, Rebecca-Anuwen,
In the meantime, enjoy walking confidently along Your SHEro’s Journey!
PostScript
One of the biggest lessons and challenges that I’ve had to overcome through the years is learning that I get to own my identity and decide what is acceptable to me, not anyone else.
When I was child, I was painfully shy and just wanted to fit in, or rather not stand out.
I wanted to shrink and hide most of the time.
The imagined judgements of others stopped me from doing so much and taking so many opportunities, and I say imagined, as I never actually spoke to whoever ‘they’ were and asked them to clarify their judgements.
Much later in life I realised that I couldn’t prevent people from judging me, and that I may as well accept that it was part of life and move on and do my own thing anyway.
If I was going to be judged, I may as well be judged for being me, as let’s face it, I was never going to make everybody happy, so I may as well show up in a way that makes me happy – as the nature loving, tree obsessed, witchy, priestess, optimist that I am!
