Day two: I discovered that the masks I most often wear are the perfectionist, the people pleaser and the invisible one. I can see that I am seeking approval by playing nice, staying small and bending over backwards to please others even when it hurts me to do so. Underneath it all I am still the creative, playful child who loves to explore the natural world around us and to paint, draw, sing and dance. If only I could let go of the fear of not being accepted and not being good enough and allow my authentic self the permission and the freedom and courage to step up and shine. It is a win just to start uncovering more about who I am and recognizing my true self again
