How would you describe yourself to someone?

Those are the three words that immediately jumped into my mind if I were to describe myself to another.

However, I might also add reflective, loyal, kind and spiritual as I try and live authentically and with integrity.

You see, I believe we are all connected by the same stuff. Call it energy or whatever suits you. So when I have an issue or I’m triggered in some way, I’m able to step back and reflect on what is needed in the moment.  Sometimes what is called for is a simple reminder to myself that I am enough, just as I am!  I can’t tell you the relief I feel when I validate myself in this way. It is so freeing and allows my ego to take a backseat to everyone’s contribution. When I affirm my worth, I am reminded that there is room for all of us here on earth and I can root for them on their journey.

Everyone is a mirror! There are times I’m triggered by someone and realize why. Usually, I can see myself in them and maybe I don’t fully like that part of me. Maybe they bring up feelings of insecurity or unworthiness. Regardless, when I affirm my worth, have good intent for myself and others, I’m able to step back and allow people to be who they are. I love the same freedom!

With regard to those traits in my header, I can be moody because of the thoughts I entertain. Thoughts are a powerful force and many of the messages we give to ourselves are flat out lies or destructive tendencies. In those moments, I have a choice. Returning to my heart brings back some measure of peace.

I believe we are all a bit complicated, making things up as we move along on this earth bound journey. It is intense, is it not?

How about you? How would you describe yourself to someone?

I really like that motto: Live life as if everything is rigged in your favor
