Ep 6 | Healing Is Not Becoming The Best Version Of Yourself
Manage episode 389652181 series 3399895
“Okay, I need to say this - healing is not becoming the best version of yourself. Healing is letting the worst version of yourself be loved. So many of us have turned healing into becoming this super perfect version of ourselves that is bondage right. That is anxiety waiting to happen. Healing is saying, every single version of me deserves love. Deserves tenderness. Deserves grace. When we can get to a place where we can see and empathize with every version of ourselves even the version of ourselves we can sometimes be ashamed of, that’s when we know we are walking in the path of healing.” - Kobe Campbell, LCMHC
I talk a lot about becoming your future self and show up as the person you want to show up as. That includes going on a self-care journey and learning how to heal. Learning how to not reject parts of you that you may not like or you feel ashamed about. It is learning how to shift your perspective about your experiences and how to think new thoughts and process your emotions. It isn't about being a perfect version of yourself. It's about elevating who you already are and accepting all of you.
Accepting the good, bad, ugly, messy, dysfunctional, weird, things about yourself. It's about letting yourself be seen and heard and understood. Self-care is about building your emotional resilience, nurturing your self-trust, and building your confidence and self-belief up. It's about learning, failing, making mistakes, and separating your feelings from your goals. Sometimes we mess up or say something stupid or immature - everyone does because no one is perfect.
Show yourself some love and grace and give yourself some TLC - tenderness, love, and care. You've got this!
