8. Why "Just be yourself" is unhelpful advice
Manage episode 343492621 series 3374046
It's the classic advice we give as parents, friends, colleagues.
"Just be yourself" - the implication being that if we only do that, everything will be fine.
People will like us, love us, approve of us, and maybe even give us what we ask for.
But the deeper question we really want answered is: is it safe for me to just be myself?
What happens when we dare to show up as ourselves - raw, unfiltered, unpolished, imperfect, with our track record of mistakes, dumb decisions, regrettable things we said and did, the things we did that we are now ashamed of?
Can I really just be myself and still be accepted?
Note:
References were made to Mel Robbins' High 5 mirror exercise; Shad Helmsetter's book What To Say When You Talk To Your Self; Marianne Williamson's poem Our Deepest Fear; and the affirmations work of Louise Hay and Florence Scovel Shinn.
