@Nora Gianna From my personal experience when growing up, choosing myself was seen as selfish, my parents were old school and unfortunately burdened with a lot of generational trauma. They had a lot of fear they were unable to express themselves emotionally. And me being an emotional and curious person, I needed a lot of stimulation and to be around people who could express themselves emotionally. I wanted to grow and experience the world, and I wanted my parents, especially my mother to experience life as well. Because of that, I was seen as the black sheep of the family, I was out experiencing life and getting into all kinds of mischief, (the good kind). I was trying to open up their eyes and beings to love and life, but unfortunately without healing their eyes and hearts would remain closed until they passed years ago. So on the path of generational healing I went, to ensure that I wouldn't pass on any negative habits to my children, and my life could be free of any internal trauma or frozen energy, so I could help others who are generationally stuck. Choosing myself looks like, having a good self care routine, making sure I have enough for myself before I give to others. Taking time out for myself to regenerate, exercise to remove stagnant energy, and look after my body. Taking myself out to dinner, doing things that make me happy. Taking that leap, I've learnt now that taking a leap can be detrimental to your souls growth, moving forward needs to be done incrementally. You can't ask a flower to bloom straight away as soon as you see a bud. It needs to go through it's own growth process (Osmosis) to bloom. What you miss in-between you eventually have to cycle back to and redo, to ensure the foundation remains intact. What does choosing yourself look like for you Nora? What is your definition of taking a leap?
