Forgive yourself for whatever it is that you hate yourself so badly for or for whatever it is you are so embarrassed of or guilty of or ashamed of.

Shame is not from God, number one.

That is not from him because he forgives us, okay?

And shame will never make you grow.

If there's one thing I want you to take with you, it's that shame will never make you grow.

hiding will never make you grow.

You need something to see the light in order for it to blossom and in order for it to be set free.

So my encouragement for you is to even journal if you have to, but really work on releasing whatever these self-limiting beliefs that you are holding onto are.

It can be that, oh, well, I'll never be pretty.

I'll never be able to wear a bikini at the beach or I'll never be somebody who has a good friend group.

I'm not worthy of a healthy relationship.

I'll never be someone who's on the beach walking tan.

Like it could be whatever you want that you are holding yourself back from.

You're right.

You'll never have it if you are clinging onto these negative self-limiting beliefs that you have for yourself.

And I need you to reassess your circle as well.

People you've outgrown, situations you've outgrown that are no longer serving you, look around at everything.

Not even just within, but around.

Because if you want to fully become unrecognizable, you have to look at the people and the patterns that have been keeping you stuck as the exact same.

Maybe you have old coping habits of avoidance or anxious attachment or overthinking.
