In your first decade or two, you likely learned the "school" method of living your Life. In school, you are trained and guided by authorities, teachers and adults, who tell you what to do and when, and what to learn, think and believe. Then they judge and correct your behavior. Chances are, you were also told what kind of cookie-cutter person you were, what you should like and how you should feel, whether you liked it or not. And you got used to needing to meet the approval of others.
But that was then, when others seemed to run your life. This is now.
You may not be fully aware that you still feel like what schoolkids are seen as: incapable, inexperienced, and unknowledgable. I know in my 20s, I was still operating on what I'd learned in my childhood: that I couldn't do anything right. You likely have been trained to doubt yourself, your inner yearnings, intuitions and knowings. But that doesn't mean they aren't real. Artificially doubting yourself doesn't mean you are wrong.
I've seen healer after healer shut down their inner healer, stop listening to their intuition ("oh that was just a random thought", "nobody can talk to trees"), convince themselves their knowings must be wrong and their dreams are unattainable or ridiculous. Are you, too, trying to live someone else's life because "creative, intuitive healer" was not on the list of official jobs in the school counselor's office, or on the list of acceptable behaviors in elementary school?
How can you, starting today, honor your feelings, intuitions and dreams for what some part of you knows they are: very, very real?
Healer, you came here with gifts to share with the world, gifts that have the power to change the world. I know because I've lived it and seen it in my mentoring clients, that it's too common for you to doubt yourself because you feel so "different". Well, not here are HealerToHealer.com! You're one of us, now, and we all have big healing dreams and amazing intuitive and creative talents.
I for one would love to hear your dreams! Put them in a comment below. And from now on, how can you let yourself dream them? How can you shift back into hoping and dreaming like you did as a kid? Your dreams can't come true until you know what they are, and you owe it to the Source of those dreams to have a good long look, and to share them with others. Leave the "how" to Source. There *IS* always a way. YOU just have to hold the possibilities here on earth.
I love you. Go heal.
