You Fear Expressing Yourself Fully to Others

Your Higher Self wishes you to know it is time to be YOU. Delight in creating the beauty of your soul in all that surrounds you. You are only truly safe when you are expressing yourself.

Each day you stifle your life force by not expressing yourself fully; you are afraid to share the core of sweetness that lies within. Maybe you work in a job you don’t particularly enjoy, or you find it difficult to tell others what you think and feel. You have a light within that you are meant to share with many people. That light, however, is hidden from the world, dimmed by your fear. In essence, what people are able to see is only a limited expression of you. You are not allowing your light (the perfect expression of yourself ) to shine in your creative, professional or emotional life. Therefore you struggle to enjoy the intimacy and connection you wish to experience in relationship to yourself and others.

The expression of you is witnessed through a myriad of factors such as your voice (loud or quiet), your clothes, the food you eat, your hobbies, your judgements, how you drive, how you speak to yourself and others, through your favourite books and television programmes, and your job. Whether you are aware of it or not, you are being fully witnessed by the world all the time expressing fully your current internal state. Sulking and withdrawing from those who hurt you is a powerful form of expression. At the moment your expression is a manifestation of your fear and not your life force. Since everything you do expresses you fully as you are in any given moment, consider if this is the expression you want to make to the world?

Write a list of all the areas within you that you feel are fully expressive  of who you are, your gifts, creative aspects, your opinions, etc. Then make a second list of the areas that you feel are not being expressed fully. Examine both your lists of expressed and repressed aspects of yourself. Look at both your strengths and the areas that feel stifled and acknowledge them fully. Then focus on the aspects of self that are repressed. Are you afraid that:

a. Demands may be made of you for which you don’t feel ready?

b. You are not safe if you are seen?

c. You will be judged by others, that they will laugh at or dismiss you?

d. You are not good enough?

e. You will be attacked if you share what is true for you?

Each of these thoughts and feelings is an expression of your fear of loss. You fear that you will lose security, a partner, friend or job if you say what you think or do want you want to do. You fear that love will be taken away, that you’ll be abandoned or belittled.
