We Are Our Person

The societal and generational influences were designed quite purposely for women to be pulled in many and varied directions, essentially wired to hold family and communities up. Resulting in the side effects of mental and physical distress where we as women become inclined to put ourselves last, disconnecting from our personal aspirations, needs and ultimately disengaging from our true selves. We are mother, partner, employee, business owner, daughter, friend…everything to all.

It can feel unnatural, selfish even when we choose to prioritise our wellbeing and unique value. It’s a tough mental shift, especially when self-confidence is low and exhaustion is high.

As women, we can also find ourselves seeking out partnerships to avoid ourselves, redirecting and investing our time, love and care into another person. Often moving into a carer role at the expense of our wellbeing and sometimes our safety.

We Are Our Person & We Need To Show Up For Her…Because She’s Worthy.

This can certainly be easier said than done and that’s why it’s so important to walk alongside each other, with unwavering compassion and patience because it’s such an important path to walk.

We can also be easily swayed by our emotions and feelings…hence why we often take on so many roles! Looking out for ourselves, loving ourselves isn’t a feeling, it’s an action, an approach, a decision. A repetitive act on the road to self-love, acceptance and freedom.

It’s the small steps, those decisions each day, to be there for ourselves. To rebuild our relationship with ourselves piece by piece. Restoring or even educating ourselves for the very first time that we ARE love, we ARE our person, and we deserve peace, safety, joy, health and hope.
