Daily Mystic Messages - Exactly as you are
Consider this question very carefully...
‘What if you accepted yourself exactly as you are now?’
I'd like you to sit with that question for just a few moments and notice what it is that comes up for you when you consider that.
What if I accepted myself exactly as I am?
Maybe there is a fear that nothing will change, maybe there is a fear that you'll miss your chance. Maybe there's the worry that you'll be stuck with the same ways of doing and having or a worry that you'll fall prey to the worst ‘worst parts’ of yourself and destroy your life or your relationships or your health.
But what I'd like you to do is to also consider, what if the opposite might be true of that. What if, as you accept yourself fully, all the aspects of you, rather than fighting and resisting or making choices out of fear, that you get to simply choose how you want to be and what you want to do or have in your life.
Now I'd like for you to pull out your journal and write what things come up for you when you ask yourself that question, ‘what if I accepted myself exactly as I am?’
Write down all of the little blurts, doubts, worries, anxieties or fears that come up, and dump them all out on the paper. And when you're done with that, you get to come back to that place of possibility and say to yourself, “Well, it's possible. It just might be possible that I can accept myself exactly as I am and decide what I want in my life, who I want to be, what I want to do, what I want to have. It just might be possible.”
So go ahead and do that. Do that as many times as you need to, dump out all those worries, fears and anxieties, and step into that place of possibility for yourself.
