π SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH π
.
This topic is soo important, it kept coming up, time to write about itπ
.
What is speaking your truth?
.
It is expressing what your needs are, how you feel and what you think. It is all about communication and being yourself.
.
There are many reasons that might be holding you back from speaking your truth. When you tell what you need or feel, you won't be loved for who you are, people will leave you, they will abandon you and you will be alone..
.
So you don't speak your truth, you shove things under the carpet and pretend that things don't bother you. Then the next time it comes up again, it comes up even bigger. It makes you feel seperate, not seen, not heard, alone, frustrated or angry..
.
The thing is nobody can guess how you feel, what your needs are exactly unless you tell them. The other person will always receive from their perception. So in between you expressing what you need and other person perceiving that in their reality we loose so much info already π
.
Another communication killer is assumptions. You assume that the other person can tell what you need from your behaviour, especially in intimate relationships. It can feel obvious to you that they'll get it, but they don't. Then you get angry at them.
.
Telling exactly what you need, how you feel is the key. That requires you to be vulnerable. It is the best thing you can do while speaking your truth and being yourself.
.
If you don't speak your truth you will resent people. There will be an underlying disconnection. That might lead to you taking action that is not right for you, then you'll resent that person more, for 'making' you feel that way and do that thing.
.
If you speak your truth you will feel so much lighter, free and like yourself. You will say no to things easier and your energy will only go to things you truly love.
.
Next time you speak your truth:
- Notice what you'd like to say knowing you can't loose anything.
- Then see what you're scared of happening if you speak your truth.
- Remind yourself that speaking your truth is the best thing to do in the long run for yourself and for that person.
- Tell that person you need to be listened uninterrupted and tell what you want to say.
.
This becomes easier and easier with practice. Those who don't accept your truth and don't see you for who you are will leave. That is a good thing. So that the ones who truly deserve to be in your life will show up.
.
Always speak your truth. It's the way to being yourself and freedomβΊοΈ
