The Trap of Valuing Appearances More Than Ourselves

It’s easy to diminish the power of our own value and gifts when we focus more on what things look like than the actual truth "behind the curtain". Yet, as a society, our personal value is often rooted in gaining external validation and impacted by the fear of being judged, rejected, fear of being our true selves, and taking the reactions of others - who are dealing with their own fears and hangups - to heart. On this episode of the Flirting With Enlightenment podcast, I discuss how we can easily fall into the trap of feeling less than for various reasons, and continue to live out old patterns that keep us in a space of never feeling enough. Listen for insights and tips to explore how you can step out of old limiting mental and emotional patterns and move towards deeper self-understanding, compassion and growth.
