❌THE #1 BLOCK TO A LIFE OF PLEASURE. ❌
Is shame.
You could be living an abundant life and then suddenly feel like you don’t deserve it . That’s shame . ⭕️
You could have beautifully fulfilling relationships… then the criticism creeps in. That’s shame . ⭕️
You could be absolutely beautiful, but you focus on one flaw. That’s shame . ⭕️
You could be having a fun, stellar day, and then all of a sudden feel that you should be struggling and working . That’s shame .⭕️
You could be enjoying a nap so much that you nap longer than expected and then wake up to a sinking feeling that you haven’t done enough. That’s shame ⭕️
Can you see how absurd it’s pattern is ? I personally wonder why it is so prevalent in our society. Why we as humans have accepted guilt/ shame to influence our lives .
✅it all comes down to WORTHINESS. And our flawed premise that we are not worthy until we do, have, or be something else . Rather than ENJOYING… in the present experience of life .
Yesterday, I noticed that it’s almost the half moon. ‘Time to illuminate & release’ I said . And so I asked myself, what do I need to release ? And my body responded clearly to where I was holding shame and playing small .
I tried to reason with it… but it was futile ! Shame always had a different take . And so I decided
❌enough is enough ❌.
No more reasoning … I will simply let it go, evict it and no longer allow it to exist in my life .
Are you done carrying around shame for existing ? Drop an emoji below if you feel me
❤️

![Inktober 18th!
[ID: an Indian ink drawing of Sango and Kirara from InuYasha. Kirara is in her huge form, flying trough mountains densely covered with trees. She looks over her shoulder at Sango, who is riding on her back. Sango has her chin up and eyes closed, letting the wind blow through her hair. /End ID] #inktober#inktober2020#sango#kirara#inuyasha fanart#inuyasha#fanart #my artsy stuff #1](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8b287db75621b577605fb01e841c6ca5/2d3d07292a8b8bdc-7c/s1280x1920/ec31b62b6368807bb9b81ec27b874b91d509a0cd.jpg)
