I am vulnerable because although my insecurities are at the core of what I fear, these vulnerabilities are the birthplace of my joy, creativity, and love. So I will compassionately embrace my imperfections because feeling so fiercely vulnerable means I am alive. I will let myself be deeply seen and share myself wholeheartedly even though there are no guarantees that things will work out.

SACRED PAUSE
📜 POEM

Let us embrace our imperfections,
our vulnerabilities and our fears.
For it is through our weaknesses,
that our strength and courage appear.
To share our weakness is to be brave,
to presence the darkness with our light.
For it is through our vulnerability,
that we can live life with all our might.

Nice work! You've just completed Day 9 of 30 Days of Bravery 🙌

One of the most vulnerable things we can do is share what is real for us with others. Fortunately, you're in a safe, non-judgmental, supportive place to do that.

So be brave and go ahead and share what's going on in your life that today's session inspired in the community Activity Feed.

  4. It’s caused me to procrastinate, fear of not getting clients for setting up a business and failing, it’s stopped me from sharing an incredible health product I use because I fear being seen as salesy

  5. I realized not too long ago that I have a bit of a fear of the word no. That fear has kept me from doing things like asking questions during classes at school, applying for jobs, and even trying to make connections with other people. I guess I see it as too much trouble to try and get something that I want if I’m not absolutely sure it’s going to work out. I know how stupid that is because the only way you can succeed at getting the things you want is by taking risks. As Wayne Gretzky said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” I need to start reminding myself of this more often because I can’t live my life in a protective shell. I need to take risks and learn be okay with rejection if I’m going to get anywhere in life.

  7. I avoid interacting with others when I don’t have a clear inspiration to do so as I think I’ll be dull. I feel I’m “not ready” to face it/ engage when an inner sparkle is not there.

  9. My fear of rejection has taken over my whole life. I am so desperate to be loved that I now come across as so needy that I am driving people away. This leads to more rejection and I am stuck in a viscious circle of being over needy and then rejected. In order for people to like me just as I am I must stop telling everyone my deepest thoughts and trying to buy their love by over sharing (for sympathy), and being over generous (to get them to like/love me). I need to calm it all down and be friendly without appearing desperate. I am frightened where to start, but I can be brave and sort this out.
