Shadows, fears, insecurities . . . Prompt #736
“We all have shadows, fears, insecurities, and doubts. Acceptance of them all leads us to realizing an unconditional love for ourselves.
When we can begin to love the parts of ourselves that we’ve deemed to be unlovable, when we invite in our shadows and let them know they are welcome, when we acknowledge and become curious to our fears, doubts, and insecurities, then we begin to realize that our innate nature (Love) has the capacity to hold them all.
Everything within us is part of us. When we accept this, our true nature is revealed.” —Alister Gray
Writing Prompt: Explore your fears, doubts, and insecurities as a curious child would explore sand, rain, flowers.
Observe. Imagine. Create.
Invite your shadow self to peek around the corner. Take a deep breath in. Let it out. Another deep breath in. Hold for a moment. Release.
Acknowledge your fears, doubts, and insecurities.
Give words to these thoughts.
What does fear look like?
What does doubt feel like?
How does feelings of insecurity affect you, and your work, and your relationships?
Let your thoughts dance on your page as you explore these feelings.
As you write, remember to take deep breaths and release.
Release your fears, doubts, and insecurities.
Let them go.
