Start getting intimate with yourself! Find new ways to learn more about who you are, what you enjoy, and what makes you tick. There is no way other people can truly get to know you, if you don’t truly know yourself. When we know ourselves, we can start to ask for what we need and want in all the relationships we have…with family, friends and in our intimate relationships. Once you know who you are, you can then communicate that to others. And we all know, communication is the number one key to any successful relationship.
So…start communicating with yourself. Start asking yourself questions about who you are, what you enjoy, what you want out of this life of yours.
The most important relationship you could ever experience is the one with YOURSELF. Please never underestimate the connection you can have with yourself.
It will be the most challenging, It will be the hardest, Yet it will be the most rewarding of all.
As you watch others, on social media, at the school gate, where ever, It can be very easy to compare yourself in some way to others. And totally forgetting about yourself and what we need and want. That feeling of needing to fit in…when really it just doesn’t feel right all the time. Then there are those times when you do do what feels right for you or are called to do…and you can still feel a sense of maybe loneliness and difference, yet you feel so much more fulfilled on the inside, simply because you are being true to you.
There have been times where I’ve tried to impress someone, just to be liked. I could feel it wasn’t right at the time, but I couldn’t stop, I was scared to just be myself because I didn’t think the real me was anything much to like - ha talk about hard work and unsatisfied. And well trying to be someone I wasn’t didn’t work anyway haha…oh man the learnings in that. Now as I tune into me more, and just be myself, it feels easier. And those who get me, get me and those who don’t haha probably still think I’m weird

;) - oh well.
As some of you know, I’ve just started dancing…we are still at the very beginning of it all, yet I can now dance a little more than I could 4 weeks ago. For me, I wanted to start dancing because it’s something I’ve always wanted to try, But on a deeper level, I want to learn to feel more connect with myself and my body. Whether I’m dancing with a partner or on my own…that connection with myself is what’s important to me. Learning to have the confidence to move my body in ways I’ve always been too nervous to try feels so good and weird, but I know that dance will help me connect with myself in so many other areas of my life.
If you want more connection with others, You’ve got to start connecting with yourself first.
THE RELATIONSHIP YOU HAVE WITH YOURSELF IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT!
