This episode marks 10 years of Help Me Be Me! This is about knowing thyself and feeling grounded and resourced in that self. Being guided by and making decisions from your values, not your weaknesses.\n\xa0\nIt\u2019s all about \u201ccoming home to yourself\u201d as a means to feel grounded: what that means to me, plus tools for that in the face of social pressures and relationships. In moments when you feel hurt, unpopular, clingy or less-than, come back home to a wisdom of self: what do YOU hold to be sacred, cool and interesting? What do you hold to be important in terms of values? Resuming this core relieves us in moments we feel a need to please others or we are changing ourselves out of fear.\n\xa0\nI feel the greatest gift you can give yourself is a friendship and bond with yourself. If you\u2019re not there yet, take heart. Sometimes we need some processing of past conflicts for all of us to arrive at action. If something isn\u2019t happening for you, there might be a part of you that has yet to fully arrive.\n\nIt\u2019s apt that this episode marks 10 years of podcasting for me. 222 is a sacred number and I invite you to check out Taz Grout\u2019s 222 Foundation, linked below.
