There is nothing wrong with you. By Sacha Sterling.

My life changed over a casual coffee date with a brazen friend (with wild red hair to match her vivacity) – sipping lattes, gabbing about life. I was processing yet another drama, this being when I was a wee 21 years old.

She stopped me mid sentence and said, “You know, there is nothing wrong with you.”

I was speechless! No one had ever said that to me. Quite the opposite, I was raised to look for what was or what may become wrong with me. 

To say this was a turning point moment is an understatement. In just one instance I had allowed myself permission (through the angelic messenger of my friend) to think about myself from a whole new vantage point, and I never looked back. Liberation!

 

How many of us are holding back, punishing ourselves or over apologizing because of that adopted mental tape that says something is wrong with us or we are just plain wrong (for existing)?

 

We are each unique, dynamic, valid people with a desire to love and be loved. Being understood is nice, but more importantly – we must accept ourselves as we are. The sense of victory that comes when we accept the waterfall of grace and love that Is Us to pour through us is incredible – yet to get there we need to shine light on the existence of everything that stands in the way of that innate knowing of our lovability and worthiness simply for being.

This can sound daunting…shine light on Everything?! I promise, it really does feel good because it is in the name of integration, healing, self acceptance and feeling a sense of validation that comes fromseeing ourselves.

The easiest way to begin to give yourself more permission to be You – worthy, important, on purpose and needed as you are- is to monitor your thoughts.

For just one day, pay special attention to your thoughts, and consciously reach for the best possible thought. This exercise is deceiving in its simplicity….but it works! 

Notice what areas of self and life produce loving and empowering thoughts and which areas lead to self negating, shaming or belittling thoughts.

Without judgment, wrap a big hug around your thoughts and glide them on up!

We no longer need to identify with old stories about ourselves. Everyday is an opportunity to love ourselves more, give ourselves more permission and room to live on purpose.

If you have been waiting for someone to tell you there is nothing wrong with you….then here it is:

THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!!!

I have deep love for you because you exist and we are in this human family experience together. Please reach out if you would like some extra support from an Ally who cares.

Love,

Sacha
