Have you ever tried to hide a lie? Do you know how much energy goes into keeping a lie alive. You have to remember the lie, you have to remember who you told the lie to and who was involved. If you mention any other names you have to tell them about the lie and make sure they have the lie right in case it ever comes up……

You spend alot of your time, energy, and life just keeping this lie going.

People say it’s hard to tell the truth but ultimately the truth really does set you free.

That also goes for the truth in sharing how you feel with people. Until last week I thought authentically sharing how I felt made me weak and vulnerable – but with reflection I realized that it actually puts me in a position of power. Why? Well because I have shared what I need to, I AM free to continue with life.

When you don’t share your feelings either because you don’t want the person to know, you are too afraid to be honest with them (and yourself) or you’re just not sure how you feel (although that’s a cop out!) then you spend life restricted, in confusion, insecure, unsure and other words that really aren’t good to have moving around in your body long term!

What I had to remember is that no one could ever do anything to me without my permission so believing someone could take advantage of me if I authentically shared how I felt was an illusion. I also believed I was weak if I was honest with how I felt but again realized that it took alot of courage and strength to openly share myself.

It’s good to remember that “what you resist, persists” so why resist being honest about your feelings? It just drives you crazy internally anyway. Come clean and you are free from it (and sometimes after saying it you may find it’s not actually true anyway!)

So go forth and share. Open yourself up. Be honest with who you are and what you feel. Your world will transform overnight!
