There is nothing I love more than to turn the tables.
What if we turned the tables on shame?
It’s an awful debilitating state to be in. It’s where we feel like we aren’t good enough, we don’t deserve to be loved, and we aren’t worthy of good things.
Most of the time shame keeps us small and avoiding shame keeps us dysfunctional.
But if we want to show up in the world, we have to come to terms with the shame driven fear of not being accepted for something we have done or something we have said.
We have to find a way to become ok enough with ourselves that we can show up even if…
And if we show up even if…. we can trust that shame will show up too… and it will push us to keep doing better.
Don’t dwell on shame. Trust it. It will help you be better.
