I've had curly hair since I was little...

Wish you had curly hair? Wish your hair was different?

 

Last night I was spending time with a friend from college visiting from out of town.

 

She commented that she liked my hair, said it was different, and wondered if my hair had changed over the years. I said ‘thanks, actually I've always had curly hair.”

 

Response: REALLY?!? 

 

Yes, really…the thing is that I didn’t KNOW KNOW because when I brush, it smoothes out easily.

 

WHAT THE HECK does this have to do with Female Empowerment, Body Confidence, and Epic Healing (aka: the work I do)?

 

--> KNOWING yourSELF is the turnkey to embracing yourSELF fully. <--

(flaws and all)

 

I always felt like I had curly hair, though it was never obviously curly. No one close to me to confirmed or shared with me what products to use and how. 

However, I had lots of people tell me my hair was straight.

 

→ When you’re young you’re a sponge soaking up other people's opinions and perceptions.

 

Why does this matter?

 

→ What’s easier in life for many of us is to look OUTSIDE of ourselves to reflect back who we ‘think’ we are and who we ‘think’ we SHOULD be.

 

But, when we operate this way we learn to DIS-TRUST our instincts, our knowing, our truth, our CORE.

 

This permeates all aspects of our life and how we end up approaching our relationships, our career, our bodies, and ultimately determines whether or not we allow ourselves to take up space and share fully in life.

 

When we live this way wishing we were different, wishing life was different, we live on wishing, hoping, quick-fixes, and abandoning ourselves and our dreams.

 

We waste our time, our money, the opportunities that come our way, and our energy on things that bring us further from our own knowing, peace, and contentment.

We operate thinking that other people must know better. This causes so much suffering and internal conflict (insomnia, migraines, digestive issues anyone?).

 

WHY, because we aren’t certain enough to take the RISKS that are hidden deep inside.

 

BUT, when you unmask the subtle subconscious beliefs, behaviors, habits, thoughts of who you “thought” you were and claim who you KNOW you are....

 

Life changes.

 

Your outlook changes. Your SELF-TRUST soars and you realize you are exactly who you’ve always wanted to be (no fixing required...just alignment).

 

You start realizing you DO KNOW. You are capable. You are DIVINE and you claim a level of empowerment that you thought was unattainable.

 

You become that vibrant lighthouse that others look to.

 

So if you still want to be different...it might be time to REALLY get to know ALL you have to offer so you can reclaim yourSELF, your Power, and your Life.

 

Maybe, just maybe…you’ve always had curly hair and there wasn’t anything that needed changing!
