Open

Another section of that drawing for you today!

 

Being open and honest with yourself about how you really are is so important. If we can't be honest with ourselves, the chances are that we are harbouring some shame or guilt about something that we need to forgive ourselves for. Once we learn to accept ourselves and be open internally we can learn to do the same with those we love. A good practice I found helpful to banish my inner critic was to think, 'would I say this to someone else?' If the answer is no, I'd think what I would say to the person I loved the most and I'd change it and say that to myself instead.

Isolation

Another snippet of the larger drawing I posted yesterday! As we are recovering we need fellow flower growers by our side to encourage us and keep us motivated. It's never comfortable pulling out weeds and the discipline of planting and nurturing can become tiring but a faithful friend can be invaluable to nurture and care for you little delicate bud on the days the wind is blowing so hard your just focused on not loosing your one petal you were brave enough to poke out on your little protective bud!
