A Royal Self-Care

Blank is the face that wears a mask to fit in…

You may not be from royal lineage with a sore neck from wearing a heavy crown, as was Henry IV.

But I ask you…

How unhappy is the face behind the masks you wear?

Have you forgotten who you are in the pursuit of fitting in with people you aren’t comfortable around, who’ll never know the real you…

We might wear a mask or two, occasionally; the question becomes: with what frequency? ?Some claim they are completely different people with their doctors than they are with their managers, than with their besties or spouses.

Are we, though?

Are we different people in different situations?

Or

…are we authentically responding to the perception of the person we are with, at any given moment?

Other people’s perceptions of us will always be based on their brain more than our actions.

That’s a very difficult reality to accept, for some. The truth is, we can provide the best clues possible for everyone to understand who we genuinely are. And, it is up to them to interpret based on their own lived experiences to decipher what that means to them, personally.

Technically, other people’s perceptions of us are none of our business because they have nothing to do with us. They can be lovely energies to experience or harsh and unaccepting…none of it has to do with us, in the end.

Just as your response to any other person is 100% your responsibility to accept and reflect.

But that is a different conversation for another day…

Today is Self-Care Saturday and we are here to discuss how Authenticity is a sign of and ripple effect of your self-care-routine.

• The more comfortable you are with yourself the more comfortable you are with other people’s perceptions of you…no matter what they happen to be.

How comfortable are you in your own skin?

How comfortable are you with others ‘not getting’ you?

Do you feel the need to fight for your perspective to be understood…how about accepted?

Who you are is a gift you may be the only person to ever fully appreciate.

The way you cherish yourself is cue to those around you, you are valuable. Set the example early and often that you are worthy of taking care of your own needs.

The easiest way to remove the masks you wear for others is to become so ultimately confident in who you are you expect others to accept you. Your expectations will either be met, or you will know to move on.

This is a very large world. Your access to accepting-people is larger than it has ever been before. The next time you go to put a mask on for someone who is unaccepting of your authentic self…remember how meaningless they are - in the grand scheme of things. There are other fish in the sea, is the most obvious of statements…

There are too many people waiting to accept and appreciate you to waste your time on someone who expects or accepts anything other than your comfort with them.

So. YOUR #SelfCareSaturday action-plan is:

Expect Others to Accept You

Accept yourself first.

Expect others to follow your lead.

Shine so authentically there’s never any confusion.

Attract those who see clearly the confidence of your genuine being; and accept that not everyone is as ready as they need to be. When you refuse to mask your authenticity, you provide a clearer exit strategy to those who cannot accept the genuine realness of you.

Forget those masks and recognize, they are a reflection of spending time with one who does not appreciate you. Forget the masks and forget those who made you wear them.

When you see yourself clearly others recognize you better than ever. That’s what hypnotic coaching provides, a clear mirror to see yourself like never before.

Know your truth to live your potential!

?Expect to be accepted!
