Shame can be a teacher of our light

Brené Brown says “Shame is that warm feeling that washes over us, making us feel small, flawed, and never good enough.”

Shame has the power to make the most magical and powerful soul act small and insignificant. It is a mind game of comparison, regret, perfectionism and critical thinking. 

Shame can be a teacher of our light. It offers us the opportunity to break free of our own limited thoughts and expand into our greatest delight. 

We don’t need to feel ashamed of our shame. The antidote is empathy, compassion and connection. 

This is an opportunity to practice self-compassion. What does the part of you that feels ashamed most need to hear right now?

I am sure it is a version of I love you and I appreciate you.
