You need to stop hating whatever this past version or current version of yourself is that you are so ashamed of, that you are so embarrassed of, that is just weighing you down.

Whatever it is inside of you that you are pushing down, the past version of yourself that you are trying to cover up, it's not going to leave that way.

So I need you to

pull out, bring to the surface whatever it is about yourself that you are trying to hide.

Maybe it is that you had a really messy past.

Maybe it's that you feel like no one likes you.

Maybe it's that you're super insecure.

Maybe it's that you have body image issues.

Maybe it's that you just don't feel like anyone likes you.

It can be so many different things.

Maybe you just don't like your aesthetic.

It could be the silliest thing.

Whatever it is that you are trying to hide from,

It needs to come to the surface because if it's not at the surface, it's never going to leave.

And the first thing we have to do, and it's going to sound so cheesy, but this truly is the first step because we cannot bring in new and become someone else if we are clinging on to and pushing down the old, right?

It has to leave somehow and we have to release it.

We can't force it out.

It's not about forcing growth.

It's about welcoming it and making space for it.

So the number one thing you have to do is to forgive yourself, right?
