Gift-Letter: Your True Self
You have an opportunity to discover who you are apart from the roles you play and the ideas you have accumulated about yourself. Connect with yourself, the real you. Be courageous enough to go inside yourself and to see who you are. Don’t be afraid, be curious. When you find out who you are in essence, you will see an incredible being. One that you may even have forgotten. You will discover your light, uniqueness, and divinity.
Many people are afraid of looking within themselves because they think they will find all the bad stuff they have stored. As if we have a storage unit that can’t be opened, where we accumulate all the things we don’t like about ourselves. We put all the traumatic events, bad experiences, remorse, guilt, sadness, shame, or other suppressed feelings there. But this is not what you will find if you meet yourself with Love. Look at yourself with kindness and understanding through the eyes of Love. Love yourself enough to observe yourself without judgment.
Your true self may be buried under behaviors learned during your childhood or belief systems you accepted throughout your life. You may think that you know yourself enough. You spend 24 hours a day with you, it is true. But in essence, you are much more than your personality. It may not be easy to recognize at first sight, but you are pure Love energy. You are interconnected with everything that exists and part of the Universe. You can connect with your true self in many different ways. Some ideas are: spending time with yourself reflecting, journaling, meditating, being in nature, or accessing the Akashic Records.
