A client this past week sat reflecting on how far she'd come in her coaching journey. She was trying to understand the process she'd been through and said to me, "I'm not the same person I was. I'm still feeling sad about things but I'm really happy."
I paused deliberately until she consciously heard what she'd said.
Surprised, she then said to me, "That doesn't even make sense really – but my heart understands it!"
She understood Jung's words, "I'd rather be whole, than good."
This is called integration. It's about feeling, understanding and owning all aspects of ourselves.
For eg. The ability to feel sad, but be happy.
The ability to fail, but not be a failure.
The ability to say/do silly things without fear of being labelled stupid.
Practicing this level of living, means becoming authentic because there is no longer a need to hide anything.
ALL the parts of you make you real. Your denied parts make you fake.
What's the biggest thing you're scared of someone finding out about you?
How much energy do you spend covering this up (without even noticing you're doing it of course!)?
Accept this fear as part of your truth (or realise that it's not) and you'll find an equally-accepting world out there after all!
Have a wonderful week, Being Perfectly You.
PS. My new 8-week course, "Be Authentic. Feel Abundant" will help you look further at some of the things that keep you hiding away from being REAL and/or keep you trying too hard to be a better person than you believe you are.
This course starts on 3rd August in Subiaco.
