April Week 3: Day 3 - Our Hidden Strengths

@SoulfullyAButterfly I want to braver so I can be an explorer😁 I want to explore the ocean first. But it's just a dream, but you never know what the future will bring, so I'm holding on to the dream of oneday! ❤❤

Take a moment to identify one aspect of yourself that you've been hesitant to embrace or explore fully. How can you embrace this aspect to experience growth?

I honestly have a self love and self confidence issue. People are constantly giving me compliments and it makes me so uncomfortable. I have no idea how to embrace my confidence in myself. I have accomplished so much in life but when I was a child I never received compliments things were just expected of me. So now as an adult it's hard. I constantly try to tell my children how proud I am of them because I never had it as a child. Does that make me a bad parent? That might be a dumb question....

The courage to make moves in life that involve other people. I used to have much more of it...maybe this is one of the changes that come with age. And I've been burned a few times, which didn't help.

I just need to gain better social skills. I am socially inept. 𤣠

I'm hesitant to embrace or explore my vulnerability. 

I've always been very highly independent and resourceful.

Yet have chronic passive suicidal ideation for decades.

Growing up, family never talked about deeper stuff.

Therefore I ended up in chronic abuse /neglect circumstances.

Right now all I believe is that I'm worthless and undeserving.

I've been listening to Douglas Bloch videos all morning.

Gender, generational and epigenetic gaps seem real.

Embracing the idea that others could help me...
