Why are we so afraid of being honest with our self?
When we look at our life truthfully rather than sticking our head in the sand we keep things circulating. When things are moving forward we create a flow that keeps things moving in a more positive direction.
Most of us have experienced a time where we are withholding the truth either from others or ourselves. We often don’t share our truth with others because of how it may be received. They possibly will take it personally and get triggered instead of just allowing it to be our truth.
There are also many situations where we had a hard time confronting ourselves about the truth. This could be something as small as ignoring a home repair, or something more extreme like ignoring our bills. We may also not be able to face the truth in a relationship when someone close to us is pushing us away and we pretend that they’re not.
Usually the truth is staring us in the face, we just choose not to look at it.
Most of the time we avoid these truths because they’re very uncomfortable for us and they scare us. A lot of times we may not know what to do with the situation so we can pretend it’s not there.
One of the biggest parts of my personal retreats is all uncovering the sides of our self that are very uncomfortable, that we would prefer to not see. The hard part about ignoring these circumstances is that they are always there hanging out in an uncomfortable manner. They never go away until we face them head on and take care of business. It takes a strong person to face things and not run away.
Ultimately you cannot avoid the truth, no matter how difficult it is; so the sooner we jump in, the better. When we have an understanding for the truth we just accept it and do the best we can with the situation. This relieves so much stress in our lives. Staying awake and shining a light on areas we need to see in her life will help keep us stay in the flow of things instead of being blocked.
