You Already Are Your Truest Self

For many, many years, my main strongest desire was to BE. ME. MY TRUEST SELF!!!!

For so so long I had felt trapped, stuck, drowning, suffocated by shit - societal expectations, gender norms, childhood trauma, PTSD, etc etc….

It was one of my strongest motivations, to pick myself up a thousand times each day - to keep going, keep hoping, keep pushing through the muck and mire within my inner and outer experience…

I had this somehow innate belief - knowing - that being TRULY ME - ME - was the answer to everything I desired…

I would feel - 

FREE. 

AT PEACE. 

SETTLED. 

JOYOUS. 

SAFE. 

WHOLE.

……

And let me tell you- I f*cking celebrated the HELL out of each new aspect - even the teeny tiniest ones - of my TRUEST SELF that I unleashed - freed - liberated in expression again !!!!!!!!

I also worked a ton through disappointment, anger, frustration, impatience, fury as it felt like it wasn’t happening quick enough - I wasn’t shifting and being liberated as quickly as I desired!!!!!

But each time I felt this way, I wound up returning to my inner desire - that clear vision within me - that picture relentlessly pulling me forward - of me in my fullest authentic self expression!!!!!

I believe we are, at our core, ALREADY our truest selves!!!! I believe it’s who we are - always have been - always will be.

IT IS OUR ESSENCE!

And, being born into the society we were, being raised by humans, having lived lives with varying human experiences - our human parts of us learn certain behaviors, misbeliefs, and ways of coping in situations that are usually not in line with the expressions of our FULLEST SELF!

Our minds, our emotional state, our bodies learn to operate in a certain way - that usually serve us well while growing up in challenging or societal circumstances - that often lead us to abandoning or “making wrong” different parts of ourselves. The result often being, that by the time we are adults, we are often not embodied in our soul’s fullest truth!!!

The great news - joyously - is that we can now choose to unearth and FREE our truest selves in full expression and embodiment !!!

THIS has been such an immense and huge part of my journey!! There are so many ways we can do this - so many supportive practices and techniques. 

However, the one I want to focus on here is this:

PRACTICE BEING YOUR TRUE SELF WITH YOURSELF. 

I used to think that just shedding and freeing and releasing shit would automatically leave my true self behind to shine forth!

I’ve found that while this is true on some level - what has happened is over the years of repetition, my human parts of me (brain, emotions, and body) have been habituated to act, express, and BE like the older versions of human me…

And in order to BE the full expressed version of my soul IN MY HUMAN STATE - I need to PRACTICE. BEING. HER !

And so, this is what I did! I learned this invaluable approach and technique from one of my long-term mentors over five years ago now. PRACTICING being - whoever it is I desire to embody - has been the foundation of every new aspect of my self I’ve delightfully been able to express in the years since!! 

I practice FEELING the way this more authentically expressed version of myself will feel. 

I practice THINKING how she will think. 

I practice moving and feeling IN MY BODY the ways that she will move and feel. 

All the while, believing and being open to the fact that the true reality very possibly will be even better than I can envision, imagine, or play around with in my current now state. 

I’ve done this again - and again - and again on repeat - for countless new expressions of my truest, freest, most embodied soul self!!!!

This is primarily how I guide my clients through co-creating their lives and BEING the beautiful version of their true self that they desire to be !!!!!

If you are excited to FREE YOUR TRUEST SELF even more - and feel the utter bliss that I’ve found lies at living a life aligned with your soul authentically expressed - I invite you to explore a coaching journey with me. 

Remember, the love, peace, and freedom you are seeking are all on the other side of Being. Truly. YOU.

Much love,

Jenna
