It’s ok to be scared when Healing Trauma

Today is an opportunity for you to live on your terms. You are the person in control of your life. No one but you is going to be the HERO of your story. It's OK to be scared. IT'S NOT OK TO QUIT ON YOURSELF.

Think about all the times in your life that you have been terrified of something you knew would make your life better. Why is that? Why do we get so scared of the idea that we can live on our terms, be the hero, and do things we want to do because WE WANT TO DO THEM? For many of us, it's the software embedded in us in youth. We are told to be seen, not heard, to think small because our dreams will never happen, and not even bother because we probably won't succeed anyway.

The part that I get stuck on is that these limiting beliefs that we carry from our childhood often have nothing to do with trauma or traumatic experiences. Many of these beliefs and mindsets come from our society in general. When we were born, we were told only to accept the bare minimum of what our potential power is. I don't know about you, but I am so tired of the bare minimum, and I don't believe that people like us exist for the "good enough" mentality. To be honest, if good enough was good enough, I don't think you would be reading this right now.

Deep inside of each of us is an incredible power to step into something great, but we often quit before starting the line. We often find ourselves asking permission from our friends and family but sadly they have the same societal thought process. And then we find ourselves seeking permission to exist.

Let me tell you something- YOU DON'T NEED ANYONE'S PERMISSION TO BE GREAT except your own.

Ask yourself an essential question today: What do I have to do to have the life I want to have?

You DO NOT HAVE TO QUALIFY your life to anyone. THIS IS YOUR LIFE!

If you are ready to take control and be the hero of your story, then let's get these stupid limiting beliefs out of our way!

Be Unbroken,
