Empowerment Moment: Do we wear our past?

Do we wear our past? [Be a Rockstar]

· When we have experienced pain or trauma, or even a challenging situation, we can hold on to it longer than we need to because it’s what we know, we are comfortable there even if it causes unhappiness and suffering. We continuously give it power and feed it until we wear it, it becomes part of who we are.

· When our past defines us, it allows us to be that person which brings with it sympathy, compassion, even protection. It serves us which is why we keep it around. Instead of growing, this stunts your growth.

· Just like we choose to hold on, we can likewise choose to let go and move forward. It doesn’t negate your experience but gives it meaning. Then you can take back your power and change your narrative. This takes time but eventually you’ll be able to treat yourself to a new wardrobe instead of wearing your past all the time – and who doesn’t want a new wardrobe?

POST IT NOTE: I am more than my past
