Birthing Yourself Every Day: Embrace Your Inner Child
Episode Overview
Take responsibility for your own feelings rather than avoiding them. Learn from your painful feelings to foster emotional growth. Avoid seeking external validation; focus on self-acceptance. Embrace self-love in all aspects of life: emotionally, physically, spiritually, relationally, organisationally, and financially. Challenge yourself to go the extra mile for both yourself and others.
It's not so much giving birth to ourselves that causes the most pain, but rather that the pain is caused by not giving birth to ourselves
Are you birthing yourself every day, or are you playing it safe? In this episode of the Inner Bonding podcast, Dr. Margaret Paul explores the concept of 'birthing yourself' daily and what it means to truly embrace your inner child. Dr. Paul asks some hard-hitting questions: Do you love and nurture your inner child, or do you abandon yourself when faced with painful feelings?
Through personal anecdotes and client stories, she illustrates how avoiding our pain and seeking external validation can lead to a cycle of self-abandonment and emotional distress. She shares the journeys of Lauren and Glenn, who despite taking care of themselves in many ways, struggled with self-abandonment and emotional responsibility. Dr. Paul emphasises the importance of taking responsibility for our own feelings and learning from them rather than avoiding them.
She suggests that true joy and inner peace come from staying connected with our feelings and taking loving actions for ourselves in all aspects of life - emotionally, physically, spiritually, relationally, organisationally, and financially. Dr. Paul also challenges the listener to consider their willingness to do the inner work necessary to birth themselves fully. Are you ready to face your fears and take responsibility for your feelings?
This episode is a powerful reminder that birthing yourself is not just about you; it's also about caring for others and going the extra mile in all areas of life. Don't miss out on this thought-provoking discussion that could transform your approach to self-love and emotional healing.
