Vulnerability – how does it make you feel to read that word? Are you nervous, excited, maybe even a little scared…those are all valid responses. When you share a part of yourself with someone else, it takes courage. There is always risk involved when you open yourself up to another person or a new experience. Life is a continuous journey of taking steps of faith toward what you value the most. Sometimes it feels easier or harder to take those steps, but no matter how you feel you CAN take those steps toward your values to reclaim your life.
Start small, make a list of your top five values and think about how you can move closer to those values in your daily life. Whether that first or next step is seeing a therapist for the first time, going to a new church alone or going out with a friend when you feel anxious, YOU are reclaiming your life in the midst of hard situations, feelings and thoughts. You are worthy of love and you are not alone.
