I Can Tell the Truth
In a previous blog, I introduced the 4 blocks to healing--Show up, pay attention, tell the truth, and let go. If you’re struggling with one of these, then healing is a lot tougher. Same thing in any sort of growth of your money, business, or relationships. To actively show up, pay attention, tell the truth, and let go--transformation with happen.
These 4 ideas come from the book “The Four Fold Way” by Angeles Arrien. In Emotional Polarity Technique, I test to see if for a certain narrative or thought pattern one of these is weak, this way, I can incorporate affirmation to help with these 4 blocks.
So far I have covered showing up and paying attention, and this week, we’re going to TELL THE TRUTH.
Tell The Truth.
People do not seem to realize what telling the truth entails, and they don’t always realize when they are not fully telling the truth. I hear, “Oh, my parents were great, so happy. Never fighting. Never angry. Never bitter.” What? Really? I don’t know one human who can honestly avoid every unpleasant emotion, at least, not without some ramification.
Then, they go back to their parents, and ask them, “Where you ever mad at mom?” or “What was happening with you two when I was 4?” Usually, they get a good story they had no idea that was happening. They may say, “Oh! We were driving each other crazy!” or “He lost his job!” or “We had a miscarriage!”
Humans cannot exist in a vacuum of happy positive feelings and experiences 100% of the time.
There is always something happening, and not telling the truth keeps a person stuck in a protective lie. But still, stuck. In a lie.
Telling the truth allows you to finally break out of the fakeness, be free, be brave, be yourself. Telling the truth allows you to say in a healing way,
“Yes. My life wasn’t perfect.”
“Yes. My parents hated each other.”
“Yes. I was mad about it.”
“Yes. I was hurt by this.”
“It wasn’t my fault.”
“My feelings were valid.”
“Yeah. This did happen.”
Telling the truth means freedom from hiding. It allows you to be your authentic self without fear someone will see your lie, because that history is still a part of who you are, and you are still awesome.
Here are some statements to help you tell the truth.
