Our relationship with ourselves informs so much of what we do.
If you were a person of multiple parts…
Which parts would you say cause you trouble?
Which parts cause you grief?
Which parts annoy you? And make you wish that sometimes they would go away?
These are the parts that need your love most.
These are the parts that are wanting attention; but don’t always know how to ask for it.
So they do what they do. In the ways they know how.
They really want what’s best for you. But they may be stuck in a cycle of behaviour that’s not always what you want right now.
You can talk to them.
You can ask them for what they want, and what they need to feel safe.
If you want to understand yourself better, start by recognising and acknowledging these ‘difficult parts.’
They’re the ones doing such a good job of keeping you safe. They’re the ones who have stepped in to keep you safe, as best they can, all these years.
Recognise that. Acknowledge them.
If you can, thank them. Appreciate them.
We all want to be recognised and appreciated.
And when we are, we are so much more open to receiving what someone has to say.
So start there 💛 Open a dialogue, and see where talking takes you.
