Some much time is wasted waiting for others to accept us. I have come from this very needy place and it just doesn’t work.
Waiting for someone else’s acceptance requires us to wait until they change. As long as it requires someone else to change, we have surrendered our power.
When I surrendered to myself and embraced who I am, all the right people came forward. Some were those I had hoped would do so and some stayed on the sidelines in tolerance mode while others stayed behind altogether. Still others I turned away from. There is sadness at times but at least I am no longer waiting to be me.
That thing about you that may be difficult for others to accept varies from person to person. Letting go of needing approval can be very scary lest you be shunned, lose your church, or even incur physical harm. I do not mean to make light of anyone’s plight. But I am sure that the person’s acceptance we most need is our own. When you accept yourself, others lose power over you. When you are clear about who you are and what you can or cannot change about yourself, it is easier to see the same in others. That distance provides a unique opportunity for you to decide what you can tolerate or accept and you are back in the driver’s seat of your life.
So what about you is holding you back from living into your personal power? What life would you live if you could fully accept yourself? Hypnotherapy provides a safe space to explore and create the reality in which you desire to live.
