At a certain point, growth becomes less about what others have to say and more about finding your own voice.
Of course, in good balance, receiving in a myriad of ways is appropriate and generative. However when it becomes a crutch and form of hiding, fear and doubt are most likely driving to protect you from something that feels real but may not actually be a true threat.
For example, when your next step is to share more publicly so more people can find what you offer, but you keep looking at what everyone else is posting on social media instead. Maybe even going into comparison and shame spirals. Or looking for validation that you’re not alone, that you belong, and that others are in agreement with you.
The brain loves scrolling. It’s like hunting. How thrilling it is to find something that’s validating. Even better to share it so others might understand and like (or even love) it. Books are so juicy too. Meaty nourishment. Experts, good coaches, and psychic mediums are so reassuring sometimes.
But, at the end (and beginning!) of the day, what’s happening in your world? How do you really feel under the surface? It’s hard to be with those feelings sometimes, but if you address them, a whole lot of wisdom is underneath just waiting to bubble into a beautiful spring of your voice.
Wild Blessings,
