UNCOVERING YOUR TRUTH

Uncovering your truth can be a process, and well worth the effort

TO uncover your truth and face it takes an act of bravery. It takes courage to see everything for what it is.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “What you resist persists?”

It is a fact of life that what we cannot confront, controls us.

Here is an example from my youth. I was incredibly afraid of cliffs. When we were driving on a road close to a cliff, I felt nauseated. As I grew up, I was able to look at the cliffs and eventually look down the side of the cliff. I became less fearful the more I was able to confront my fear.

When you find yourself stressed or anxious, it could be that you are not able to uncover the truth of what you are feeling or believing. I work with my coaching clients on being aware when something doesn’t feel right. Usually, they are not honoring their values, or truth or they are letting others step on their values or truth.

There is nothing more powerful than uncovering and speaking your truth. There is less chance of miscommunication. It is laser clear, to the point and believable. For example, you might be upset that your partner did not acknowledge a big accomplishment you made. If you uncovered the truth you might find out that it was because you didn’t feel 100% confident in your accomplishment and needed their acknowledgment. It wasn’t that they didn’t care.

It is critical that we uncover the truth of our feelings, attitudes and beliefs. Even more important is uncovering the truth of WHO you are and WHAT your purpose is. You are the only one that can figure this out.

Uncovering your truth is the key to happiness and fulfillment.

I will give you a few tools that might help you uncover the truth for you.

1. Take time to be quiet or meditate. Notice your thoughts, beliefs, attitudes and feelings. Ask yourself if they are true. If they are not, then ask, “what is true?” Take the time to hear the answers.

2. Make an intention to speak only the truth with grace and compassion. Take a day to practice this. Make sure there is no judgment of yourself, just learning and observation. The first step is to be aware.

There is nothing more powerful than uncovering & speaking your truth.

3. Write down what scares you about speaking your truth. Remember that what you cannot confront continues. Practice confronting things that are uncomfortable. You might surprise yourself and find it is easier and more empowering than you ever thought possible.

4. Lastly remember that uncovering your truth will set you free.

In conclusion, uncovering your truth is a process and worth the effort. It takes courage and vulnerability to speak from your heart, especially if you feel you might not be understood. When you bravely let yourself be seen, it will bring you confidence and fulfillment. The more you uncover and speak your truth, the more you will communicate with grace and confidence and inspire others to do the same. Now more than ever, let’s come together to be united, seen, loved and respected.
