How Honest are we with ourselves? (ME Radio Show)

How Honest are we with ourselves?
Exploring how to be completely honest with ourselves~

I believe that self-honesty is something we cultivate.
It is at times a very difficult task; it can also be a painful and a scary proposition...
It is though one of the most rewarding and self-loving action one can choose to make.

I used to be so afraid of my own thoughts, my own truth, my own motives... what people thought of me (still do sometimes), afraid to be found out and exposed, afraid of not being "good enough"...

But the practice of being truly honest first with myself and then with the rest of the world yielded and continues to yield such ease, self-acceptance, freedom and joy that it gives me the necessary bravery to continue to cultivate this ability, even if difficult at times.

I believe we get better at this with practice. We become more restful and it allows for transformation... If I don't like the truth of what I see in me, once I acknowledge it without shame, I can change it. It requires humility from me and a belief that no matter how ugly or beautiful this truth about myself is, I am still loveable. No better or worse than anyone else...

On this continuum of becoming honest with self there are still times that I chose to not be honest, to deny the truth that pulls at me and as I struggle through this time I try to forgive myself and return to the letting go of outcomes that often keeps me cut off from truth.

Thanks for asking these questions... The world gets to heal some more.
And I really needed to be reminded of it today!!!

Love and Light
