Step Into Your Leadership
Feb 21, 2024
When I was a child, I didn't grow up in a safe home. It was volatile: emotionally, physically, mentally, and more.
When you internalize this pattern that it's not safe to be you, do you, express yourself, etc., you take it into adulthood and you dim your light continuously.
- Either by trying to get approval from others
- wanting people to agree with you
- people pleasing
- controlling people, so that they do/say things so that you can feel safe. You don't let people be themselves, because you haven't learned to create a safe space for yourself.
I've been working with myself & others to establish a feeling of safety inside so that it doesn't come from others. It's ideal when it also comes from others, but what leadership often calls us to do is to step into new arenas where others don't feel safe yet and our job is to show that safety and hold space for them to join.
Even if you had unsafe past experiences, you can develop a secure attachment with yourself - so that your inner child feels safe.
So that you can show up for others:
- your own kids
- your partners
- your business
- your creative ideas
- collaborators
- any other area of life where you have to lead
Leadership is about
- being fully present, in the here and now
- being fully aware
- being connected to love & wisdom
- having an open heart
- having discernment
- expressing yourself
- acting, choosing, being, and taking aligned actions
Leadership is not about a box you occupy in society or a role you place. It's not about occupying a position and holding a title.
True leadership comes from learning how to regulate your nervous system and being a channel for the good of everyone, yourself, and others.
You don't have to be perfect, because you are also a human being.
So you also need to:
- rest
- play
- have fun
- receive
- work through things
