Are you hiding from you?

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.

~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld

The Story: I was talking with a fellow coach this week about my desire to find a new geographical location to live and continue with my teaching, coaching, and energy healing work.  She asked where I had lived- and I could hear her smile as I rattled off 15 places in the last 10 years.  Naturally, she wanted to know why I had felt the desire to leave each time.  Each move had its own practical reason, but as I began each explanation she said she felt her throat closing.  And, it was obvious as her voice became a hoarse whisper.  She asked what this meant to me and it hit me like a lighting bolt.  I told her it was me suffocating when I started to feel my spirit was being stifled.  Yes!  Every time I felt the desire to move, I realized I had surrounded myself in an environment where I felt the need to hide from my true spiritual nature.  In subtle ways, I had became silent and had stopped being the true me.  I can see it now and will choose places/situations in life where I will speak and act my truth.

Time for action: Recognize when you feel most uncomfortable in life.  When do you feel like screaming because everything feels wrong?  What aspects of you are you hiding?  What role are you playing for someone else instead of being truly you?  Extend your arms out to the side. And slightly tilt your head back to the sky.  Breathe in and commit to being all of you. Leave hide-n-seek to recess.  Speak with Coach Wendy.
